Understand Anything

Turn any codebase, knowledge base, or docs into an interactive knowledge graph you can explore, search, and ask questions about. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and more. English | 简体中文 | 繁體中文 | 日本語 | 한국어 | Español | Türkçe A huge thank you to the community! The support for Understand-Anything has been incredible. If this tool saves you a few minutes of digging through complexity, that's all I wanted. 🚀 You just joined a new team. The codebase is 200,000 lines of code. Where do you even start? Understand Anything is a Claude Code Plugin that analyzes your project with a multi-agent pipeline, builds a knowledge graph of every file, function, class, and dependency, then gives you an interactive dashboard to explore it all visually. Stop reading code blind. Start seeing the big picture. Graphs that teach > graphs that impress. Want to skip the reading? Try the live demo in our homepage — a fully interactive dashboard you can pan, zoom, search, and explore right in your browser. Navigate your codebase as an interactive knowledge graph — every file, function, and class is a node you can click, search, and explore. Select any node to see plain-English summaries, relationships, and guided tours. Switch to the domain view and see how your code maps to real business processes — domains, flows, and steps laid out as a horizontal graph. Point /understand-knowledge at a Karpathy-pattern LLM wiki and get a force-directed knowledge graph with community clustering. The deterministic parser extracts wikilinks and categories from index.md, then LLM agents discover implicit relationships, extract entities, and surface claims — turning your wiki into a navigable graph of interconnected ideas. Auto-generated walkthroughs of the architecture, ordered by dependency. Learn the codebase in the right order. Find anything by name or by meaning. Search "which parts handle auth?" and get relevant results across the graph. See which parts of the system your changes affect before you commit. Understand ripple effects across the codebase. The dashboard adjusts its detail level based on who you are — junior dev, PM, or power user. Automatic grouping by architectural layer — API, Service, Data, UI, Utility — with color-coded legend. 12 programming patterns (generics, closures, decorators, etc.) explained in context wherever they appear. 1. Install the plugin /plugin marketplace add Lum1104/Understand-Anything /plugin install understand-anything 2. Analyze your codebase /understand A multi-agent pipeline scans your project, extracts every file, function, class, and dependency, then builds a knowledge graph saved to .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json. /understand-dashboard An interactive web dashboard opens with your codebase visualized as a graph — color-coded by architectural layer, searchable, and clickable. Select any node to see its code, relationships, and a plain-English explanation. # Ask anything about the codebase /understand-chat How does the payment flow work? # Analyze impact of your current changes /understand-diff # Deep-dive into a specific file or function /understand-explain src/auth/login.ts # Generate an onboarding guide for new team members /understand-onboard # Extract business domain knowledge (domains, flows, steps) /understand-domain # Analyze a Karpathy-pattern LLM wiki knowledge base /understand-knowledge ~/path/to/wiki 🌐 Multi-Platform Installation Understand-Anything works across multiple AI coding platforms. /plugin marketplace add Lum1104/Understand-Anything /plugin install understand-anything Codex Tell Codex: Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/refs/heads/main/.codex/INSTALL.md OpenCode Tell OpenCode: Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/refs/heads/main/.opencode/INSTALL.md OpenClaw Tell OpenClaw: Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/refs/heads/main/.openclaw/INSTALL.md Cursor Cursor auto-discovers the plugin via .cursor-plugin/plugin.json when this repo is cloned.
