Graphicle is a free, open-source (Apache-2.0) program that gives your coding agent a code graph of your repo and a memory of your project. Claude asks it first and gets cited excerpts: the exact files and lines.

Here's what it does, how to install it, what to ask Claude, and the catches.

What it does

  • Code graph: files, functions, classes, calls and imports, parsed with tree-sitter and no model.
  • Project memory: your docs (Markdown, PDF, Office, HTML), reviewed decisions and past Claude Code sessions, searchable next to the code.
  • Cited context: every excerpt names its file and lines, within a token budget.
  • One MCP server (graphicle mcp) that Claude Code connects to; memories an agent proposes wait for your approval.
  • Local: no account, no telemetry, nothing leaves your machine unless you ask.

Get Claude to Estimate Your IQ From Your Own Chats: Set Up the Free /iq Skill
Ask Claude what your IQ is and it dodges the question and says IQ does not matter. This free Claude Code skill answers it from your own past chats instead: two readers each score how fast you spot patterns and how many steps ahead you plan, a small calculator turns that into one IQ number and where it sits among everyone else, and the report quotes the exact chats that raised your score and the ones that dragged it down. A fun estimate, not a test. The whole skill to paste in, ready-made prompts, and what an answer looks like
