Simple Graphify

[Liberty Lover]

A video for Graphify came up on my YouTube feed. The idea is simple: Create a deterministic graph of a code-system with all of its files, where the goal is to give an AI (like Claude.code.ai) the capability of answering library-wide design questions with clumsy grep. The Graphify code is designed for various software languages, but — of course — not Eiffel. So, the question to Claude Fable 5 was: "Can you inspect Graphify, create specifications, and then code a similar or better system in Eiffel for Eiffel?"

Of course the answer was: Yes!

The results are found here: Simple Graphify

Enjoy

BTW/FWIW — Simple Graphify can be (and is currently being) applied to ISE Eiffel libs as well as Gobo 25.09

Results to follow ...

[Liberty Lover]

DONE!

FUN FACT:

[Eric Bezault]

In the same way the Gobo classes have been excluded when analyzing
ISE's libraries, can you make sure that `free_elks` and `thread`
are excluded when analyzing the Gobo libraries? They are just
verbatim copies of ISE's libraries.

Yes,  I can. 

[Eric Bezault]

In https://simple-eiffel.github.io/simple_graphify/architecture.html
I can read:

> Because Gobo's shallow preparse does not carry comments or contract text,

Apparently Claude was not intelligent enough to discover the Gobo
parser options to include comments and contracts in the AST ;-)
It is nevertheless a very useful functionality of the Gobo parser
in order to implement Eiffel pretty-printing.

I'll pose it to the robot when I get home. 

[Eric Bezault]

If it does not figure out how to do it, you can ask
a human to explain ;-)
