Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
Can I ask questions about my codebase with understand-chat?
Yes. understand-chat lets you ask natural language questions about your codebase. It uses a knowledge graph that maps files, functions, classes, and their relationships to search for relevant code nodes and connections, then explains how components link together across your project's architecture.
How does understand-chat help me understand code dependencies?
understand-chat builds a knowledge graph of your project that captures how components connect. When you ask about dependencies, it queries this graph to show you which modules call which functions, how imports flow through your codebase, and what relationships exist between different parts of your architecture.
What does this function do according to understand-chat?
understand-chat can explain what specific functions do by analyzing their context in the knowledge graph. You can ask it directly about any function, and it will search your codebase to find that function, examine its relationships and dependencies, and provide an explanation of its purpose and how it connects to other code.
Can understand-chat find specific functions, files, or concepts?
Yes. understand-chat is designed to help you navigate and explore your project architecture interactively. You can search for specific functions, files, or concepts in large codebases, and understand-chat will locate them in the knowledge graph and show you their relationships, dependencies, and how they fit into your overall project structure.
How does understand-chat use a knowledge graph for code analysis?
understand-chat creates a graph-based representation of your codebase that maps all files, functions, classes, and their interconnections. This knowledge graph enables you to query your project structure, analyze code relationships, understand how modules are connected, and explore your architecture interactively through natural language questions.
What license does understand-chat use?
understand-chat is released under the MIT license, which permits free use, modification, and distribution of the software for both commercial and private purposes.

Answer questions about this codebase using the knowledge graph in the project's data directory (.ua/knowledge-graph.json, or the legacy .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json when that directory is present).
Graph Structure Reference
The knowledge graph JSON has this structure:
- project — {name, description, languages, frameworks, analyzedAt, gitCommitHash}
- nodes[] — each has {id, type, name, filePath?, summary, tags[], complexity, languageNotes?}
- Code node types: file, function, class, module, concept
- Non-code node types: config, document, service, table, endpoint, pipeline, schema, resource
- Domain/knowledge node types: domain, flow, step, article, entity, topic, claim, source
- IDs use the node type as prefix, e.g. file:path, function:path:name, config:path, article:path
- edges[] — each has {source, target, type, direction, weight}
- Key types: imports, contains, calls, depends_on, configures, documents, deploys, triggers, contains_flow, flow_step,

understand-diff compares your code changes to the project's knowledge graph, surfacing which components were modified and what else might be impacted. It traces dependencies and cross-layer concerns to highlight potential risks, then generates a diff overlay for visual exploration in the dashboard.
understand-explain delivers thorough, in-depth analysis of any code component by traversing your project's knowledge graph to surface its role, internal structure, dependencies, and data flow. It resolves the target node, traces connected edges, and reads source code to explain the component within its architectural layer and broader codebase context.
understand-onboard builds structured onboarding documentation by reading your project's knowledge graph to surface architecture layers, key files, design patterns, and complexity hotspots. It produces a guided walkthrough tailored to help new developers navigate the codebase efficiently. The generated guide can be saved to your repo for team reference.
understand-domain pulls business domain knowledge—domains, workflows, and process steps—from your codebase and renders an interactive flow graph. It works efficiently by deriving from an existing knowledge graph when available, or runs a lightweight scan to build one from scratch.
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. Configure analysis scope with language preferences, exclusion patterns, and auto-update settings.
This skill connects to your Figma file via the REST API to map its structure—pages, screens, components, instances, and design tokens—into an interactive knowledge graph. The result appears as a searchable, explorable dashboard within your existing environment.
