Problem

The code-graph guide (and the init skill) tell users to install Graphify with:

brew install graphifylabs/tap/graphify

That tap doesn't exist — github.com/graphifylabs/homebrew-tap returns Repository not found, so the command fails. The fallback link https://graphifylabs.ai/install is a 404 too. Following the guide today is a dead end.

There's a second, subtler failure mode: the correct PyPI package name is graphifyy (double-y — upstream README confirms other graphify* names are unaffiliated). When an agent tries to install it, automated safety tooling can flag the double-y name as a likely typosquat and block the install — Claude Code's permission classifier did exactly that in my session. Docs that state the name is intentional help both humans and agents past that.

Change

Replaced every install reference with the upstream-official method, matching both the Graphify README and the command shown on graphifylabs.ai:

uv tool install graphifyy
# or: pipx install graphifyy
  • docs/.../guide/code-graph.md — new install block + note on the double-y name and PATH (~/.local/bin, uv tool update-shell / pipx ensurepath)
  • skills/init/SKILL.md — same command in the guided-install step
  • skills/graphify/SKILL.md — parenthetical install hint updated from pip install
  • scripts/graphify-orchestrate.py — the graphify not installed stderr hint (also dropped && graphify install — that step registers Graphify's own /graphify skill with the assistant and isn't needed for Strata, which only shells out to the graphify binary)

Verified end-to-end on a real repo: uv tool install graphifyy/strata:graphify built a 13.5k-node graph and wrote the Obsidian notes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The install command in the code-graph guide and the init skill points at
brew install graphifylabs/tap/graphify, but the graphifylabs/homebrew-tap
repository does not exist (git clone fails with 'Repository not found'),
and https://graphifylabs.ai/install returns 404. Anyone following the
guide hits a dead end.

Replace all install references with the upstream-official method
(uv tool install graphifyy, pipx as alternative), matching both the
Graphify README and the command shown on graphifylabs.ai itself. Also
call out that the double-y PyPI name is intentional — automated review
tooling (and humans) otherwise flag it as a likely typosquat of
'graphify', which is an unaffiliated package.

Touched: code-graph guide, init skill, graphify skill, and the
graphify-orchestrate.py not-installed error message.
