## For --watch
Start a background watcher that monitors a folder and auto-reruns `--update` when files change.
Start a background watcher that monitors a folder and auto-updates the graph when files change.
```bash
python3 -m graphify.watch INPUT_PATH --debounce 3
```
Replace INPUT_PATH with the folder to watch. Every time a supported file is added or modified, graphify waits `debounce` seconds (default 3) after the last change, then runs the `--update` pipeline automatically. Press Ctrl+C to stop.
Replace INPUT_PATH with the folder to watch. Behavior depends on what changed:
For the personal inspo use case: leave this running in a terminal. Drop tweets, screenshots, papers, and notes into the folder throughout the day - the graph updates itself.
- **Code files only (.py, .ts, .go, etc.):** re-runs AST extraction + rebuild + cluster immediately, no LLM needed. `graph.json` and `GRAPH_REPORT.md` are updated automatically.
- **Docs, papers, or images:** writes a `graphify-out/needs_update` flag and prints a notification to run `/graphify --update` (LLM semantic re-extraction required).
Debounce (default 3s): waits until file activity stops before triggering, so a wave of parallel agent writes doesn't trigger a rebuild per file.
Press Ctrl+C to stop.
For agentic workflows: run `--watch` in a background terminal. Code changes from agent waves are picked up automatically between waves. If agents are also writing docs or notes, you'll need a manual `/graphify --update` after those waves.
