AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What does Understand do with my codebase?
Understand scans your codebase and builds an interactive knowledge graph stored as JSON, letting you explore your project's architecture and component relationships through a visual dashboard. The skill analyzes code structure, maps dependencies and imports, and identifies architectural layers to help you understand how your project is organized.
Can Understand generate code graph visualization?
Yes. Understand generates interactive visualizations of your codebase architecture. It creates a knowledge graph that maps code dependencies, imports, and component relationships across your entire project, then displays this graph through a visual dashboard for easy exploration and understanding of your project structure.
How does Understand map codebase dependencies and relationships?
Understand analyzes your source code to identify and map all dependencies, imports, and component relationships. It traces how files and modules connect to each other, organizes them into architectural layers, and stores this information in a JSON-based knowledge graph that you can explore interactively.
What configuration options does Understand offer?
Understand lets you configure analysis scope with language preferences to focus on specific programming languages, exclusion patterns to skip certain files or directories, and auto-update settings to regenerate the knowledge graph when your code changes. This helps tailor the analysis to your project's needs.
Does Understand support incremental updates to the knowledge graph?
Yes. Understand can generate incremental updates to your knowledge graph when code changes occur. Rather than rescanning the entire codebase, it updates the graph based on modifications, making it efficient for continuous monitoring of your project's architecture and dependencies.
What license does Understand use?
Understand is released under the MIT license, which permits free use, modification, and distribution of the skill for both commercial and personal projects.
SKILL.md
rendered from the published skill — quoted content, verbatim
/understand
Analyze the current codebase and produce a knowledge-graph.json file in the project's data directory (.ua/, or the legacy .understand-anything/ when it already exists). This file powers the interactive dashboard for exploring the project's architecture.
Options
$ARGUMENTSmay contain:--full— Force a full rebuild, ignoring any existing graph--auto-update— Enable automatic graph updates on commit (writesautoUpdate: trueto$UA_DIR/config.json)--no-auto-update— Disable automatic graph updates (writesautoUpdate: falseto$UA_DIR/config.json)--review— Run full LLM graph-reviewer instead of inline deterministic validation--language <lang>— Generate all textual content (summaries, descriptions, tags, titles, languageNotes, languageLesson) in the specified language. Accepts ISO 639-1 codes (zh,ja,ko,en,es,fr,de, etc.)
