understand
Analyze a codebase to produce an interactive knowledge graph for understanding architecture, components, and relationships
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "egonex-ai/understand-anything:understand" into this agent's normal skills directory: use the OMGSkills MCP get_skill tool, install only the pinned_install commit and path, verify SKILL.md against pinned_install.skill_md_sha, and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything /tmp/Understand-Anything && ln -s /tmp/Understand-Anything/understand-anything-plugin/skills/understand ~/.claude/skills/understandFrom README
/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 $ARGUMENTS may contain: --full — Force a full rebuild, ignoring any existing graph --auto-update — Enable automatic graph updates on commit (writes autoUpdate: true to $UADIR/config.json) --no-auto-update — Disable automatic graph updates (writes autoUpdate: false to $UADIR/config.json) --review — Run full LLM graph-reviewer instead of inline deterministic validation --language — 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.) or friendly names (chinese, japanese, korean, english, spanish, etc.). Locale variants supported: zh-TW, zh-HK, etc. Defaults to en (English).
