understand-explain
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-explain provides deep-dive explanations of specific code files, functions, or modules by querying your project's knowledge graph.

AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What does understand-explain do?
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.
Can understand-explain explain this code file in detail?
Yes. understand-explain is built to provide detailed code file explanations. It traverses your project's knowledge graph to identify the file's role, internal structure, and how it connects to other modules. The skill reads the source code and explains it within its architectural layer and broader codebase context.
How does understand-explain trace code dependencies?
understand-explain traces data flow and dependencies by traversing connected edges in your project's knowledge graph. It identifies which modules depend on the target component and which components the target depends on, revealing the dependency chain and helping you understand how code components connect and interact.
Can understand-explain break down function logic step by step?
Yes. understand-explain reads source code and explains function logic step by step, breaking down internal behavior and patterns. It surfaces how the function operates within its module and traces its connections to other code components, giving you a complete picture of the function's role and behavior.
Does understand-explain analyze code architecture?
Yes. understand-explain analyzes code architecture and layer structure by examining how components fit into the broader codebase. It explains the architectural role of any code component and shows how it relates to other layers and modules in your project structure.
What license does understand-explain use?
understand-explain is released under the MIT license, allowing free use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions.

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, related, cites
- layers[] — each has {id, name, description, nodeIds[]}
- tour[] — each has {order, title, description,
