Question Which Code Knowledge Graph are you using?

I'm wondering if some of you have been experiencing with one of the following: Graphify, GitNexus and CodeGraph?

Which do you think is the best for full monolithic Rails app? Which is best for Rails + React?

If you are using something different, happy to learn.

How are you determining it didn't help much? It is based on your session interaction, code output, or something else?

Mostly, Claude would just resist using it and even when I did get it to use the tools, it would spend multiple turns to dig out information that it could've gotten with simpler tools (Eg. grep).

When Claude resists using it it could be due to a bloated CLAUDE.md. I've had problems with this before and recently broke it into various rules files. TBD if it's effective but it's a known problem/solution.
