-
-## 🚀 Why CodeGraph?
-
-When you ask Claude Code to work on a complex task, it spawns **Explore agents** that scan your codebase using grep, glob, and file reads. These agents consume tokens with every tool call.
-
-**CodeGraph gives those agents a semantic knowledge graph** — pre-indexed symbol relationships, call graphs, and code structure. Instead of scanning files, agents query the graph instantly.
-
-### 📊 Benchmark Results
-
-We ran the same complex task 3 times with and without CodeGraph:
-
-| Metric | Without CodeGraph | With CodeGraph | Improvement |
-|--------|-------------------|----------------|-------------|
-| **Explore tokens** | 157.8k | 111.7k | **29% fewer** |
-| **Per-agent tokens** | 74.0k | 46.4k | **37% fewer** |
-| **Tool calls** | 60 | 45 | **25% fewer** |
-| **Main context usage** | 28.7% | 24.0% | **4.7% less** |

-## 🎯 Quick Start
-
-### 1. Run the Installer
-
-```bash
-npx @colbymchenry/codegraph
-```
-
-The interactive installer will:
-- Configure the MCP server in `~/.claude.json`
-- Set up auto-allow permissions for CodeGraph tools
-- Add global instructions to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (teaches Claude how to use CodeGraph)
-- Optionally initialize your current project
-
-### 2. Restart Claude Code
-
-Restart Claude Code for the MCP server to load.
-
-### 3. Initialize Projects
-
-For each project you want to use CodeGraph with:
-
-```bash
-cd your-project
-codegraph init -i
-```
-
-That's it! Claude Code will now use CodeGraph tools automatically when a `.codegraph/` directory exists.
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Manual Setup (Alternative)</strong></summary>
-
-If you prefer manual configuration:
-
-**Install globally:**
-```bash
-npm install -g @colbymchenry/codegraph
-```
-
-**Add to `~/.claude.json`:**
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "codegraph": {
-      "type": "stdio",
-      "command": "codegraph",
-      "args": ["serve", "--mcp"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Add to `~/.claude/settings.json` (optional, for auto-allow):**
-```json
-{
-  "permissions": {
-    "allow": [
-      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_search",
-      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_context",
-      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_callers",
-      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_callees",
-      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_impact",
-      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_node",
-      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_status"
-    ]
-  }
-}
-```
-
-</details>
-
-<details>
-<summary><strong>Global Instructions Reference</strong></summary>
-
-The installer automatically adds these instructions to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. This is provided here for reference:
-
-```markdown
-## CodeGraph
-
-CodeGraph builds a semantic knowledge graph of codebases for faster, smarter code exploration.
-
-### If `.codegraph/` exists in the project
-
-**Use codegraph tools for faster exploration.** These tools provide instant lookups via the code graph instead of scanning files:
-
-| Tool | Use For |
-|------|---------|
-| `codegraph_search` | Find symbols by name (functions, classes, types) |
-| `codegraph_context` | Get relevant code context for a task |
-| `codegraph_callers` | Find what calls a function |
-| `codegraph_callees` | Find what a function calls |
-| `codegraph_impact` | See what's affected by changing a symbol |
-| `codegraph_node` | Get details + source code for a symbol |
-
-**When spawning Explore agents in a codegraph-enabled project:**
-
-Tell the Explore agent to use codegraph tools for faster exploration.
-
-**For quick lookups in the main session:**
-- Use `codegraph_search` instead of grep for finding symbols
-- Use `codegraph_callers`/`codegraph_callees` to trace code flow
-- Use `codegraph_impact` before making changes to see what's affected
-
-### If `.codegraph/` does NOT exist
-
-At the start of a session, ask the user if they'd like to initialize CodeGraph:
-
-"I notice this project doesn't have CodeGraph initialized. Would you like me to run `codegraph init -i` to build a code knowledge graph?"
-```

-```
-
-## 📖 CLI Commands
-
-### `codegraph` / `codegraph install`
-
-Run the interactive installer for Claude Code integration. Configures MCP server and permissions automatically.
-
-```bash
-codegraph                         # Run installer (when no args)
-codegraph install                 # Run installer (explicit)
-npx @colbymchenry/codegraph       # Run via npx (no global install needed)
-```
-
-The installer will:
-1. Ask for installation location (global `~/.claude` or local `./.claude`)
-2. Configure the MCP server in `claude.json`
-3. Optionally set up auto-allow permissions
-4. Add global instructions to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (teaches Claude how to use CodeGraph)
-5. For local installs: initialize and index the current project
-
-### `codegraph init [path]`
-
-Initialize CodeGraph in a project directory. Creates a `.codegraph/` directory with the database and configuration.
-
-```bash
-codegraph init                    # Initialize in current directory
-codegraph init /path/to/project   # Initialize in specific directory
-codegraph init --index            # Initialize and immediately index
-codegraph init --no-hooks         # Skip git hook installation
-```
-
-### `codegraph index [path]`
-
-Index all files in the project. Extracts functions, classes, methods, and their relationships.
-
-```bash
-codegraph index                   # Index current directory
-codegraph index --force           # Force full re-index
-codegraph index --quiet           # Suppress progress output
-```
-
-### `codegraph sync [path]`
-
-Incrementally sync changes since the last index. Only processes added, modified, or removed files.
-
-```bash
-codegraph sync                    # Sync current directory
-codegraph sync --quiet            # Suppress output
-```
-
-### `codegraph status [path]`
-
-Show index status and statistics.
-
-```bash
-codegraph status
-```
-
-Output includes:
-- Files indexed, nodes, edges
-- Nodes by kind (functions, classes, methods, etc.)
-- Files by language
-- Pending changes (if any)
-- Git hook status
-
-### `codegraph query <search>`
-
-Search for symbols in the codebase by name.
-
-```bash
-codegraph query "authenticate"           # Search for symbols
-codegraph query "User" --kind class      # Filter by kind
-codegraph query "process" --limit 20     # Limit results
-codegraph query "validate" --json        # Output as JSON
-```
-
-### `codegraph context <task>`
-
-Build relevant code context for a task. Uses semantic search to find entry points, then expands through the graph to find related code.
-
-```bash
-codegraph context "fix checkout bug"
-codegraph context "add user authentication" --format json
-codegraph context "refactor payment service" --max-nodes 30
-```
-
-### `codegraph hooks`
-
-Manage git hooks for automatic syncing.
-
-```bash
-codegraph hooks install    # Install post-commit hook
-codegraph hooks remove     # Remove hook
-codegraph hooks status     # Check if hook is installed
-```
-
-### `codegraph serve`
-
-Start CodeGraph as an MCP server for AI assistants.
-
-```bash
-codegraph serve                          # Show MCP configuration help
-codegraph serve --mcp                    # Start MCP server (stdio)
-codegraph serve --mcp --path /project    # Specify project path
-```
-
-## 🔌 MCP Tools Reference
-
-When running as an MCP server, CodeGraph exposes these tools to AI assistants. **These tools are designed to be used by Claude's Explore agents** for faster, more efficient codebase exploration.
-
-### `codegraph_context`
-
-Build context for a specific task. Good for focused queries.
-
-```
-codegraph_context(task: "fix checkout validation bug", maxNodes: 20)
-```
-
-### `codegraph_search`
-
-Quick symbol search by name. Returns locations only.
-
-```
-codegraph_search(query: "UserService", kind: "class", limit: 10)
-```
-
-### `codegraph_callers` / `codegraph_callees`
-
-Find what calls a function, or what a function calls.
-
-```
-codegraph_callers(symbol: "validatePayment", limit: 20)
-codegraph_callees(symbol: "processOrder", limit: 20)
-```
-
-### `codegraph_impact`
-
-Analyze what code would be affected by changing a symbol.
-
-```
-codegraph_impact(symbol: "UserService", depth: 2)
-```
-
-### `codegraph_node`
-
-Get details about a specific symbol. Use `includeCode: true` only when needed.
-
-```
-codegraph_node(symbol: "authenticate", includeCode: true)
-```
-
-### `codegraph_status`
-
-Check index health and statistics.
-
-### How It Works With Claude Code
-
-Claude's **Explore agents** use these tools instead of grep/glob/Read for faster exploration:
-
-| Without CodeGraph | With CodeGraph | Benefit |
-|-------------------|----------------|---------|
-| `grep -r "auth"` | `codegraph_search("auth")` | Instant symbol lookup |
-| Multiple `Read` calls | `codegraph_context(task)` | Related code in one call |
-| Manual file tracing | `codegraph_callers/callees` | Call graph traversal |
-| Guessing impact | `codegraph_impact(symbol)` | Know what breaks |
-
-This hybrid approach gives you **~30% fewer tokens** and **~25% fewer tool calls** while letting Claude's native agents handle synthesis.
-
-## 📚 Library Usage
-
-CodeGraph can also be used as a library in your Node.js applications:
-
-```typescript
-import CodeGraph from '@colbymchenry/codegraph';
-
-// Initialize a new project
-const cg = await CodeGraph.init('/path/to/project');
-
-// Or open an existing one
-const cg = await CodeGraph.open('/path/to/project');
-
-// Index with progress callback
-await cg.indexAll({
-  onProgress: (progress) => {
-    console.log(`${progress.phase}: ${progress.current}/${progress.total}`);
-  }
-});
-
-// Search for symbols
-const results = cg.searchNodes('UserService');
-
-// Get callers of a function
-const node = results[0].node;
-const callers = cg.getCallers(node.id);
-
-// Build context for a task
-const context = await cg.buildContext('fix login bug', {
-  maxNodes: 20,
-  includeCode: true,
-  format: 'markdown'
-});
-
-// Get impact radius
-const impact = cg.getImpactRadius(node.id, 2);
-
-// Sync changes
-const syncResult = await cg.sync();
-
-// Clean up
-cg.close();
-```
-
-## ⚙️ How It Works
-
-### 1. Extraction
-
-CodeGraph uses [tree-sitter](https://tree-sitter.github.io/) to parse source code into ASTs. Language-specific queries (`.scm` files) extract:
-
-- **Nodes**: Functions, methods, classes, interfaces, types, variables
-- **Edges**: Calls, imports, extends, implements, returns_type
-
-Each node gets a unique ID based on its kind, file path, name, and line number.
-
-### 2. Storage
-
-All data is stored in a local SQLite database (`.codegraph/codegraph.db`):
-
-- **nodes** table: All code entities with metadata
-- **edges** table: Relationships between nodes
-- **files** table: File tracking for incremental updates
-- **node_vectors** / **vector_map**: Embeddings for semantic search (using sqlite-vss)
-
-### 3. Reference Resolution
-
-After extraction, CodeGraph resolves references:
-
-1. Match function calls to function definitions
-2. Resolve imports to their source files
-3. Link class inheritance and interface implementations
-4. Apply framework-specific patterns (Express routes, etc.)
-
-### 4. Semantic Search
-
-CodeGraph uses local embeddings (via [@xenova/transformers](https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js)) to enable semantic search:
-
-1. Code symbols are embedded using a transformer model
-2. Queries are embedded and compared using cosine similarity
-3. Results are ranked by relevance
-
-### 5. Graph Queries
-
-The graph structure enables powerful queries:
-
-- **Callers/Callees**: Direct call relationships
-- **Impact Radius**: BFS traversal to find all potentially affected code
-- **Dependencies**: What a symbol depends on
-- **Dependents**: What depends on a symbol
-
-### 6. Context Building
-
-When you request context for a task:
-
-1. Semantic search finds relevant entry points
-2. Graph traversal expands to related code
-3. Code snippets are extracted
-4. Results are formatted for AI consumption
-
-## ⚙️ Configuration
-
-The `.codegraph/config.json` file controls indexing behavior:
-
-```json
-{
-  "version": 1,
-  "projectName": "my-project",
-  "languages": ["typescript", "javascript"],
-  "exclude": [
-    "node_modules/**",
-    "dist/**",
-    "build/**",
-    "*.min.js"
-  ],
-  "frameworks": ["express", "react"],
-  "maxFileSize": 1048576,
-  "gitHooksEnabled": true
-}
-```
-
-### Options
-
-| Option | Description | Default |
-|--------|-------------|---------|
-| `languages` | Languages to index (auto-detected if empty) | `[]` |
-| `exclude` | Glob patterns to ignore | `["node_modules/**", ...]` |
-| `frameworks` | Framework hints for better resolution | `[]` |
-| `maxFileSize` | Skip files larger than this (bytes) | `1048576` (1MB) |
-| `gitHooksEnabled` | Enable git hook installation | `true` |
-
-## 🌐 Supported Languages
-
-| Language | Extension | Status |

-
-## 🔧 Troubleshooting
-
-### "CodeGraph not initialized"
-
-Run `codegraph init` in your project directory first.
-
-### Indexing is slow
-
-- Check if `node_modules` or other large directories are excluded
-- Use `--quiet` flag to reduce console output overhead
-- Consider increasing `maxFileSize` if you have large files to skip
-
-### MCP server not connecting
-
-1. Ensure the project is initialized and indexed
-2. Check the path in your MCP configuration is correct
-3. Verify `codegraph serve --mcp` works from the command line
-4. Check Claude Code logs for connection errors
-
-### Missing symbols in search
-
-- Run `codegraph sync` to pick up recent changes
-- Check if the file's language is supported
-- Verify the file isn't excluded by config patterns

+
+## 🚀 Why CodeGraph?
+
+When you ask Claude Code to work on a complex task, it spawns **Explore agents** that scan your codebase using grep, glob, and file reads. These agents consume tokens with every tool call.
+
+**CodeGraph gives those agents a semantic knowledge graph** — pre-indexed symbol relationships, call graphs, and code structure. Instead of scanning files, agents query the graph instantly.
+
+### 📊 Benchmark Results
+
+We ran the same complex task 3 times with and without CodeGraph:
+
+| Metric | Without CodeGraph | With CodeGraph | Improvement |
+|--------|-------------------|----------------|-------------|
+| **Explore tokens** | 157.8k | 111.7k | **29% fewer** |
+| **Per-agent tokens** | 74.0k | 46.4k | **37% fewer** |
+| **Tool calls** | 60 | 45 | **25% fewer** |

+
+**Without CodeGraph:** Explore agents use `grep`, `glob`, and `Read` to scan files → many API calls, high token usage
+
+**With CodeGraph:** Explore agents query the graph via MCP tools → instant results, local processing, fewer tokens

+## 🎯 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Run the Installer
+
+```bash
+npx @colbymchenry/codegraph
+```
+
+The interactive installer will:
+- Configure the MCP server in `~/.claude.json`
+- Set up auto-allow permissions for CodeGraph tools
+- Add global instructions to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (teaches Claude how to use CodeGraph)
+- Optionally initialize your current project
+
+### 2. Restart Claude Code
+
+Restart Claude Code for the MCP server to load.
+
+### 3. Initialize Projects
+
+For each project you want to use CodeGraph with:
+
+```bash
+cd your-project
+codegraph init -i
+```
+
+That's it! Claude Code will now use CodeGraph tools automatically when a `.codegraph/` directory exists.
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Manual Setup (Alternative)</strong></summary>
+
+If you prefer manual configuration:
+
+**Install globally:**
+```bash
+npm install -g @colbymchenry/codegraph
+```
+
+**Add to `~/.claude.json`:**
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "codegraph": {
+      "type": "stdio",
+      "command": "codegraph",
+      "args": ["serve", "--mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Add to `~/.claude/settings.json` (optional, for auto-allow):**
+```json
+{
+  "permissions": {
+    "allow": [
+      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_search",
+      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_context",
+      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_callers",
+      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_callees",
+      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_impact",
+      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_node",
+      "mcp__codegraph__codegraph_status"
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Global Instructions Reference</strong></summary>
+
+The installer automatically adds these instructions to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. This is provided here for reference:
+
+```markdown
+## CodeGraph
+
+CodeGraph builds a semantic knowledge graph of codebases for faster, smarter code exploration.
+
+### If `.codegraph/` exists in the project
+
+**Use codegraph tools for faster exploration.** These tools provide instant lookups via the code graph instead of scanning files:
+
+| Tool | Use For |
+|------|---------|
+| `codegraph_search` | Find symbols by name (functions, classes, types) |
+| `codegraph_context` | Get relevant code context for a task |
+| `codegraph_callers` | Find what calls a function |
+| `codegraph_callees` | Find what a function calls |
+| `codegraph_impact` | See what's affected by changing a symbol |
+| `codegraph_node` | Get details + source code for a symbol |
+
+**When spawning Explore agents in a codegraph-enabled project:**
+
+Tell the Explore agent to use codegraph tools for faster exploration.
+
+**For quick lookups in the main session:**
+- Use `codegraph_search` instead of grep for finding symbols
+- Use `codegraph_callers`/`codegraph_callees` to trace code flow
+- Use `codegraph_impact` before making changes to see what's affected
+
+### If `.codegraph/` does NOT exist
+
+At the start of a session, ask the user if they'd like to initialize CodeGraph:
+
+"I notice this project doesn't have CodeGraph initialized. Would you like me to run `codegraph init -i` to build a code knowledge graph?"
+```

+- Node.js >= 18.0.0
+
+---
+
+## 💻 CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+codegraph                   # Run interactive installer
+codegraph install           # Run interactive installer (explicit)
+codegraph init [path]       # Initialize in a project
+codegraph index [path]      # Full index
+codegraph sync [path]       # Incremental update
+codegraph status [path]     # Show statistics
+codegraph query <search>    # Search symbols
+codegraph context <task>    # Build context for AI
+codegraph hooks install     # Install git auto-sync hook
+codegraph serve --mcp       # Start MCP server
+```
+
+## 📖 CLI Commands
+
+### `codegraph` / `codegraph install`
+
+Run the interactive installer for Claude Code integration. Configures MCP server and permissions automatically.
+
+```bash
+codegraph                         # Run installer (when no args)
+codegraph install                 # Run installer (explicit)
+npx @colbymchenry/codegraph       # Run via npx (no global install needed)
+```
+
+The installer will:
+1. Ask for installation location (global `~/.claude` or local `./.claude`)
+2. Configure the MCP server in `claude.json`
+3. Optionally set up auto-allow permissions
+4. Add global instructions to `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (teaches Claude how to use CodeGraph)
+5. For local installs: initialize and index the current project
+
+### `codegraph init [path]`
+
+Initialize CodeGraph in a project directory. Creates a `.codegraph/` directory with the database and configuration.
+
+```bash
+codegraph init                    # Initialize in current directory
+codegraph init /path/to/project   # Initialize in specific directory
+codegraph init --index            # Initialize and immediately index
+codegraph init --no-hooks         # Skip git hook installation
+```
+
+### `codegraph index [path]`
+
+Index all files in the project. Extracts functions, classes, methods, and their relationships.
+
+```bash
+codegraph index                   # Index current directory
+codegraph index --force           # Force full re-index
+codegraph index --quiet           # Suppress progress output
+```
+
+### `codegraph sync [path]`
+
+Incrementally sync changes since the last index. Only processes added, modified, or removed files.
+
+```bash
+codegraph sync                    # Sync current directory
+codegraph sync --quiet            # Suppress output
+```
+
+### `codegraph status [path]`
+
+Show index status and statistics.
+
+```bash
+codegraph status
+```
+
+Output includes:
+- Files indexed, nodes, edges
+- Nodes by kind (functions, classes, methods, etc.)
+- Files by language
+- Pending changes (if any)
+- Git hook status
+
+### `codegraph query <search>`
+
+Search for symbols in the codebase by name.
+
+```bash
+codegraph query "authenticate"           # Search for symbols
+codegraph query "User" --kind class      # Filter by kind
+codegraph query "process" --limit 20     # Limit results
+codegraph query "validate" --json        # Output as JSON
+```
+
+### `codegraph context <task>`
+
+Build relevant code context for a task. Uses semantic search to find entry points, then expands through the graph to find related code.
+
+```bash
+codegraph context "fix checkout bug"
+codegraph context "add user authentication" --format json
+codegraph context "refactor payment service" --max-nodes 30
+```
+
+### `codegraph hooks`
+
+Manage git hooks for automatic syncing.
+
+```bash
+codegraph hooks install    # Install post-commit hook
+codegraph hooks remove     # Remove hook
+codegraph hooks status     # Check if hook is installed
+```
+
+### `codegraph serve`
+
+Start CodeGraph as an MCP server for AI assistants.
+
+```bash
+codegraph serve                          # Show MCP configuration help
+codegraph serve --mcp                    # Start MCP server (stdio)
+codegraph serve --mcp --path /project    # Specify project path
+```
+
+## 🔌 MCP Tools Reference
+
+When running as an MCP server, CodeGraph exposes these tools to AI assistants. **These tools are designed to be used by Claude's Explore agents** for faster, more efficient codebase exploration.
+
+### `codegraph_context`
+
+Build context for a specific task. Good for focused queries.
+
+```
+codegraph_context(task: "fix checkout validation bug", maxNodes: 20)
+```
+
+### `codegraph_search`
+
+Quick symbol search by name. Returns locations only.
+
+```
+codegraph_search(query: "UserService", kind: "class", limit: 10)
+```
+
+### `codegraph_callers` / `codegraph_callees`
+
+Find what calls a function, or what a function calls.
+
+```
+codegraph_callers(symbol: "validatePayment", limit: 20)
+codegraph_callees(symbol: "processOrder", limit: 20)
+```
+
+### `codegraph_impact`
+
+Analyze what code would be affected by changing a symbol.
+
+```
+codegraph_impact(symbol: "UserService", depth: 2)
+```
+
+### `codegraph_node`
+
+Get details about a specific symbol. Use `includeCode: true` only when needed.
+
+```
+codegraph_node(symbol: "authenticate", includeCode: true)
+```
+
+### `codegraph_status`
+
+Check index health and statistics.
+
+### How It Works With Claude Code
+
+Claude's **Explore agents** use these tools instead of grep/glob/Read for faster exploration:
+
+| Without CodeGraph | With CodeGraph | Benefit |
+|-------------------|----------------|---------|
+| `grep -r "auth"` | `codegraph_search("auth")` | Instant symbol lookup |
+| Multiple `Read` calls | `codegraph_context(task)` | Related code in one call |
+| Manual file tracing | `codegraph_callers/callees` | Call graph traversal |
+| Guessing impact | `codegraph_impact(symbol)` | Know what breaks |
+
+This hybrid approach gives you **~30% fewer tokens** and **~25% fewer tool calls** while letting Claude's native agents handle synthesis.
+
+## 📚 Library Usage
+
+CodeGraph can also be used as a library in your Node.js applications:
+
+```typescript
+import CodeGraph from '@colbymchenry/codegraph';
+
+// Initialize a new project
+const cg = await CodeGraph.init('/path/to/project');
+
+// Or open an existing one
+const cg = await CodeGraph.open('/path/to/project');
+
+// Index with progress callback
+await cg.indexAll({
+  onProgress: (progress) => {
+    console.log(`${progress.phase}: ${progress.current}/${progress.total}`);
+  }
+});
+
+// Search for symbols
+const results = cg.searchNodes('UserService');
+
+// Get callers of a function
+const node = results[0].node;
+const callers = cg.getCallers(node.id);
+
+// Build context for a task
+const context = await cg.buildContext('fix login bug', {
+  maxNodes: 20,
+  includeCode: true,
+  format: 'markdown'
+});
+
+// Get impact radius
+const impact = cg.getImpactRadius(node.id, 2);
+
+// Sync changes
+const syncResult = await cg.sync();
+
+// Clean up
+cg.close();
+```
+
+## ⚙️ How It Works
+
+### 1. Extraction
+
+CodeGraph uses [tree-sitter](https://tree-sitter.github.io/) to parse source code into ASTs. Language-specific queries (`.scm` files) extract:
+
+- **Nodes**: Functions, methods, classes, interfaces, types, variables
+- **Edges**: Calls, imports, extends, implements, returns_type
+
+Each node gets a unique ID based on its kind, file path, name, and line number.
+
+### 2. Storage
+
+All data is stored in a local SQLite database (`.codegraph/codegraph.db`):
+
+- **nodes** table: All code entities with metadata
+- **edges** table: Relationships between nodes
+- **files** table: File tracking for incremental updates
+- **node_vectors** / **vector_map**: Embeddings for semantic search (using sqlite-vss)
+
+### 3. Reference Resolution
+
+After extraction, CodeGraph resolves references:
+
+1. Match function calls to function definitions
+2. Resolve imports to their source files
+3. Link class inheritance and interface implementations
+4. Apply framework-specific patterns (Express routes, etc.)
+
+### 4. Semantic Search
+
+CodeGraph uses local embeddings (via [@xenova/transformers](https://github.com/xenova/transformers.js)) to enable semantic search:
+
+1. Code symbols are embedded using a transformer model
+2. Queries are embedded and compared using cosine similarity
+3. Results are ranked by relevance
+
+### 5. Graph Queries
+
+The graph structure enables powerful queries:
+
+- **Callers/Callees**: Direct call relationships
+- **Impact Radius**: BFS traversal to find all potentially affected code
+- **Dependencies**: What a symbol depends on
+- **Dependents**: What depends on a symbol
+
+### 6. Context Building
+
+When you request context for a task:
+
+1. Semantic search finds relevant entry points
+2. Graph traversal expands to related code
+3. Code snippets are extracted
+4. Results are formatted for AI consumption
+
+## ⚙️ Configuration
+
+The `.codegraph/config.json` file controls indexing behavior:
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "projectName": "my-project",
+  "languages": ["typescript", "javascript"],
+  "exclude": [
+    "node_modules/**",
+    "dist/**",
+    "build/**",
+    "*.min.js"
+  ],
+  "frameworks": ["express", "react"],
+  "maxFileSize": 1048576,
+  "gitHooksEnabled": true
+}
+```
+
+### Options
+
+| Option | Description | Default |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| `languages` | Languages to index (auto-detected if empty) | `[]` |
+| `exclude` | Glob patterns to ignore | `["node_modules/**", ...]` |
+| `frameworks` | Framework hints for better resolution | `[]` |
+| `maxFileSize` | Skip files larger than this (bytes) | `1048576` (1MB) |
+| `gitHooksEnabled` | Enable git hook installation | `true` |
+
+## 🌐 Supported Languages
+
+| Language | Extension | Status |

+
+## 🔧 Troubleshooting
+
+### "CodeGraph not initialized"
+
+Run `codegraph init` in your project directory first.
+
+### Indexing is slow
+
+- Check if `node_modules` or other large directories are excluded
+- Use `--quiet` flag to reduce console output overhead
+- Consider increasing `maxFileSize` if you have large files to skip
+
+### MCP server not connecting
+
+1. Ensure the project is initialized and indexed
+2. Check the path in your MCP configuration is correct
+3. Verify `codegraph serve --mcp` works from the command line
+4. Check Claude Code logs for connection errors
+
+### Missing symbols in search
+
+- Run `codegraph sync` to pick up recent changes
+- Check if the file's language is supported
+- Verify the file isn't excluded by config patterns
