Build navigable codebase knowledge graphs with Understand Anything
Turn a repository or wiki into an interactive knowledge graph that agents and humans can search, explore, and query before implementation work.

Use Understand Anything when an operator needs a coding agent to analyze a codebase, documentation set, or Karpathy-pattern wiki and produce an explorable knowledge graph before onboarding, impact analysis, or implementation planning. The workflow is to install the plugin for the chosen coding harness, run /understand or a scoped variant, inspect the dashboard, and use /understand-chat, /understand-diff, or /understand-explain to answer concrete codebase questions. Invoke this instead of using the product normally when the task is repeatable repository comprehension and graph-backed context preparation for an agent run. The boundary is codebase or knowledge-base understanding artifacts, not general diagramming, search, or a generic project-management dashboard.
What this skill actually does
Inputs and prerequisites: Understand Anything plugin or installer, supported coding harness such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or related agent CLI, target repository or knowledge base.
Setup notes: Install through the Claude Code plugin marketplace or run the upstream installer for the target platform, restart the coding harness, then run /understand in the target project and open /understand-dashboard to inspect the generated graph.
Source and verification boundary: use https://understand-anything.com as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.
Framework fit: publish this as a Multi-Framework workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
