Give Your AI a Map AND Hands — the 15-Minute Graphify + Obsidian Skills Setup, Every Command

The copy-paste companion to the video. Graphify (Graphify-Labs/graphify, 89,973 GitHub stars) turns any folder of notes, docs or code into a knowledge graph your agent can query; Obsidian Skills (kepano/obsidian-skills, 42,363 stars, published by Obsidian's own CEO) teaches that same agent to write proper notes back into the vault. Wired together they are one living system. THIS SETUP: the 15-minute install in four steps with the exact commands (including the two-Y graphifyy PyPI quirk and the Mac pipx fix), the loop that keeps the map alive (CAPTURE with /graphify add and defuddle, MAP with graphify watch and the git post-commit hook, ASK with query/path/explain, WRITE BACK with wikilinked notes), the full Graphify command cheat sheet (deep mode, incremental updates, wiki/svg/graphml/neo4j/mcp exports), the five Obsidian Skills quick reference, three copy-paste first prompts (the god-node summary, the AMBIGUOUS review Base, the weekly canvas map), our real receipts (karpathy/nanoGPT: 73 nodes, 76 edges, 19 communities, 92 exported notes plus graph.canvas; 71.5x fewer tokens on the repo's own 52-file benchmark), and the honest caveats — first-pass token cost, the disabled-by-default Obsidian CLI, and what EXTRACTED / INFERRED / AMBIGUOUS honesty tags actually mean. Everything verified against the actual repos, July 17 2026. Independent field notes from Hyperautomation Labs — not affiliated with either project.
