 ### Knowledge graph workflow
 
+When you run `dockit init --code-path src` on a project, Graphify scans the source code with Tree-sitter (AST parser) and produces a dependency graph. Every file, class, function, and import becomes a node with edges tracking imports, calls, and inheritance.
+
+The examples below use the **dockit source code itself** (built via `dockit init --path . --code-path apps/server/src`).
+
+#### 1. Impact analysis — "What breaks if I change types.ts?"
+
 ```bash
-# Find nodes matching a term
-dockit graph query my-project "database" --limit 5
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph gods dockit --limit 5
+```
 
-# See the most-connected nodes (entry points, god classes)
-dockit graph gods my-project
+Output:
+```
+Name         Degree  File
+───────────  ──────  ───────────────────────────────
+types.ts     59      server/src/core/domain/types.ts
+index.ts     54      server/src/index.ts
+mcp.ts       49      server/src/mcp.ts
+```
 
-# Trace how two modules are connected
-dockit graph path my-project "app.ts" "database.ts"
+`types.ts` has degree 59 — it's imported by nearly every file in the codebase. Changing it means touching more than half the project. To see exactly which files are affected:
 
-# Inspect a node's connections
-dockit graph explain my-project "createApp"
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph explain dockit "types.ts"
 ```
 
----
+This reveals all 59 connections — every use case, repository, search engine, route handler, and source processor that depends on domain types.
 
-## Supported Documentation Sources
+#### 2. Architecture discovery — "How does the build pipeline work?"
 
-| Type | What it indexes | Remote | Local |
-|------|----------------|--------|-------|
-| **GitHub Markdown** | All `.md` files in a repo | `repoUrl`, `sourcePath`, `branch` | `localPath` |
-| **AsciiDoc** | `.adoc` files via Asciidoctor | `repoUrl`, `sourcePath` | `localPath`, `zipPath` |
-| **Antora** | Multi-page Antora documentation sites | `repoUrl` | `localPath`, `zipPath` |
-| **ZIP Bundle** | Pre-built HTML in a ZIP archive | `url` | `localPath` |
-| **Maven Javadoc** | Javadoc JAR from Maven Central | — | `localJar`, `useMavenCommand` |
-| **Source Code** | Knowledge graph via Graphify Tree-sitter AST | `repoUrl`, `sourcePath`, `branch` | `localPath` |
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph query dockit "Build"
+```
+
+Finds `BuildUseCase.ts`, `BuildResult`, `.build()` method, constructor — every node related to builds.
+
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph explain dockit "BuildUseCase.ts"
+```
+
+Shows all 24 connections: the 7 port interfaces it depends on (`ISearchEngine`, `ISourceProcessor`, `IEntryRepository`, etc.), the 4 repositories it calls, the search engines it updates. An LLM can understand the full build architecture in one command instead of reading through hundreds of lines of imports.
+
+#### 3. Architecture validation — "Does UI code ever import server code?"
+
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph path dockit "EntryDetail.tsx" "BuildUseCase.ts"
+# → No path found
+```
+
+The graph confirms clean separation: client React components never import server core modules directly. The only bridge is the API client layer:
+
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph query dockit "client.ts"
+# → Finds the HTTP API client — the sole communication channel between UI and server
+```
+
+#### 4. Finding all code that touches a feature — "Where is source-code processing handled?"
+
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph query dockit "SourceCodeSourceProcessor"
+# → Shows the processor class plus everything that references it
+
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph path dockit "SourceCodeSourceProcessor" "graph.json"
+# → Traces the full path from processor to graph output file
+```
+
+#### 5. Entry points and god classes — "What are the most critical modules?"
+
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph gods dockit --limit 10 --json
+```
+
+Returns ranked by degree (total connections). The top nodes are the ones to be most careful with — they're the architectural keystones. `types.ts` (59), `index.ts` (54), `mcp.ts` (49), `BuildUseCase.ts` (24), `configLoader.ts` (22), `entries.ts` (18).
+
+#### 6. Cross-boundary tracing — "How does the MCP server reach the database?"
+
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph path dockit "mcp.ts" "connection.ts"
+```
 
-### Source code knowledge graphs
+Traces: `mcp.ts` → `getDb()` → imports from `connection.ts`. Shows exactly which function calls form the chain.
 
-The `source-code` source type runs [Graphify](https://github.com/safishamsi/graphify) which parses your code with Tree-sitter (AST) and produces a `graph.json` containing nodes (classes, functions, files) and edges (imports, calls, inherits). No LLM required — pure static analysis. Supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, C++, and 10 more languages.
+#### Why this matters for LLMs
 
-Add `graphifyEnabled: true` to any doc source to also generate a graph alongside the docs:
+Traditional code search (grep) finds strings but not structure. Graphify's AST-based graph lets an LLM:
+
+| Question | Grep approach | Graph approach |
+|----------|--------------|----------------|
+| "What impacts does changing types.ts have?" | Search 59 files manually | `graph explain` shows all 59 connections instantly |
+| "Does the UI import server code?" | Read every import line | `graph path` confirms no path exists |
+| "What's the entry point of the build system?" | Guess based on naming conventions | `graph gods` ranks by degree — `BuildUseCase.ts` at #4 |
+| "How does data flow from MCP to SQLite?" | Trace imports across 12 files | `graph path` shows exact chain in 1 command |
+
+### Real LLM use case: adding a new source type to dockit
+
+Here's how an LLM uses graph search to understand the codebase before implementing a feature — end to end, step by step.
+
+**Task**: "Add support for a new documentation source type called 'wiki'."
+
+**Step 1: Find existing source type references** — understand the pattern:
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph query dockit "SourceCodeSourceProcessor"
+```
+Returns `SourceCodeSourceProcessor.ts` — this is the template to follow for a new source processor.
+
+**Step 2: Trace the dependency chain** — where does the processor fit?
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph explain dockit "SourceCodeSourceProcessor.ts"
+```
+Shows the processor is used by: `BuildUseCase.ts`, `mcp.ts`, `index.ts`. The LLM now knows to update these 3 files when adding a new processor.
+
+**Step 3: Find the registration point** — where are processors registered?
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph gods dockit
+```
+`types.ts` is the top god node (degree 59). The LLM knows to check here next.
+
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph query dockit "types"
+```
+Returns `types.ts` in `core/domain/` — this is where `SourceType` is defined. The LLM finds the union type that needs a new `'wiki'` variant.
+
+**Step 4: Trace the full modification path** — from entry point to database:
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph path dockit "mcp.ts" "connection.ts"
+```
+Shows: `mcp.ts` → `getDb()` → `connection.ts`. The LLM now knows how the system starts up and where the DB gets initialized.
+
+**Step 5: Verify no duplicates** — is "wiki" already handled?
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph query dockit "wiki"
+```
+Returns empty — confirmed no existing wiki handling. Safe to proceed.
+
+**Step 6: Before coding, understand the build pipeline**:
+```bash
+npx @lon-ask/dockit graph explain dockit "BuildUseCase.ts"
+```
+Shows 24 connections — the LLM now understands which interfaces (`ISourceProcessor`) and repositories get called during a build. It knows exactly which files to read and which interfaces to implement.
+
+**Result**: The LLM has a complete mental model before writing a single line of code:
+- Files to modify: `types.ts` (add type), `SourceCodeSourceProcessor.ts` (use as template), `BuildUseCase.ts`, `mcp.ts`, `index.ts` (register)
+- Interfaces to implement: `ISourceProcessor`
+- Pattern to follow: `SourceCodeSourceProcessor.ts`
+- Build pipeline behavior: understands how processors get invoked
+
+This turns what would be 20+ minutes of grepping and reading imports into 6 graph commands executed in under 30 seconds.

+# ⚠️ CRITICAL: USE DOCKIT, NOT GREP
+
+**When a dockit entry exists for the codebase, dockit's graph and search tools MUST be used for ALL structural queries. Do NOT use grep, rg, find, glob, or any text search tool for questions about code imports, dependencies, structure, architecture, or relationships.**
+
+Dockit's knowledge graph (Graphify Tree-sitter AST) has already parsed every import, call, and inheritance edge. Using grep for structural questions is slower AND less accurate. You are discarding pre-parsed structural data to re-parse text — this is wasteful and produces worse results.
+
+| Question | ✅ Use dockit | ❌ Do NOT use |
+|----------|------------|-------------|
+| "What files import X?" | `dockit graph query <entry> "X"` | `grep`, `rg`, `glob` |
+| "What does X depend on?" | `dockit graph explain <entry> "X"` | Reading files, `grep "import"` |
+| "Does UI import server code?" | `dockit graph path <entry> "A" "B"` | Manually checking imports |
+| "Most critical modules?" | `dockit graph gods <entry>` | Guessing, `ls`, `wc -l` |
+| "How are A and B connected?" | `dockit graph path <entry> "A" "B"` | Tracing imports across files |
+| "Docs for X?" | `dockit search <entry> "X"` | `grep "X"` on docs |
+| "Find all files about X" | `dockit search <entry> "X"` or `dockit graph query <entry> "X"` | `grep -r "X"` |
+
+**Only use grep / glob when:**
+1. No dockit entry exists for the target codebase (not yet built)
+2. You have already found the right files via dockit and now need to read their content
+3. The question is about raw text patterns, not code structure
+
+**If a source-code entry is built (status = ready): graph tools get priority. Every time. No exceptions.**

 ## What dockit does
 
 Dockit is a local documentation hub. It indexes documentation from multiple sources (GitHub Markdown, AsciiDoc, Antora, Maven Javadoc, ZIP archives) and builds source code knowledge graphs (Tree-sitter AST via Graphify). It provides hybrid TF-IDF + vector semantic search across all indexed content.

-## Core Workflow
-
-### Step 1: Discover available documentation
-
-```bash
-dockit list
-# or
-npx @lon-ask/dockit list
-```
-
-### Step 2: Global search (find the right entry)
-
-```bash
-dockit search "cache"
-# Returns top result per built entry
-```
-
-### Step 3: Scoped search with full content
-
-```bash
-dockit search quarkus "configure cache" --get-top 3
-```
-
-The `--get-top` flag fetches full document text for the top N results. This is the primary command for LLMs — it combines search + retrieval in one invocation.
-
-### Step 4: Knowledge graph queries (source-code entries)
-
-For entries with `source-code` sources:
-
-```bash
-dockit graph query my-project "database" --limit 10     # find nodes by name/file/type
-dockit graph gods my-project                            # most-connected nodes
-dockit graph path my-project "app.ts" "database.ts"     # dependency path
-dockit graph explain my-project "createApp"             # node details + connections
-```
-
-## CLI Reference
-
-| Command | Purpose |
-|---------|---------|
-| `dockit list` | List all configured entries |
-| `dockit search [<entry>] <query>` | Search docs (scoped or global) |
-| `dockit search [<entry>] <query> --get-top [N]` | Search + full content for top N |
-| `dockit get <entry> <path>` | Fetch specific document by path |
-| `dockit build <entry>` | Build/rebuild documentation |
-| `dockit status <entry>` | Check build status |
-| `dockit init --path <dir> [--code-path <sub>]` | Index a local project |
-| `dockit graph query <entry> <query>` | Search graph nodes |

-| `dockit graph gods <entry>` | Highest-degree (most connected) nodes |
-| `dockit graph explain <entry> <node>` | Node details with edges |
-
-## Query Refinement
-
-Strip conversational filler. Keep only technical keywords:
-
-| User question | Good query |
-|---------------|------------|
-| "How do I create a custom hook in React?" | `"create custom hook"` |
-| "What's the Quarkus caching configuration?" | `"caching configuration"` |
