What is it?

Understand Anything analyzes a project with a multi-agent pipeline and builds a knowledge graph of its files, functions, classes, and dependencies. The graph is shown in an interactive web dashboard where nodes can be clicked, searched, and explained in plain English, and guided tours order the architecture by dependency.

Structural facts such as imports, exports, definitions, and call sites are extracted deterministically with Tree-sitter, while an LLM adds summaries, tags, architectural layers, and business-domain mapping. Later runs are incremental, re-analyzing only changed files. Commands cover chat questions about the code, diff impact analysis, file-level explanations, onboarding guides, and business domain extraction.

The same pipeline can analyze a Karpathy-style LLM wiki, extracting wikilinks, entities, and claims into a force-directed graph. The project supports Claude Code natively and installs into Codex, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and several other agent platforms. Graph output can be committed to a repository and viewed later with a read-only local viewer that makes no LLM calls.

Key features

  • 01Interactive graph of files, functions, classes, and dependencies with search and node details.
  • 02Guided tours that walk through architecture in dependency order.
  • 03Diff impact analysis showing which parts of the system a change affects.
  • 04Layer grouping (API, Service, Data, UI, Utility) with a color-coded legend.
  • 05Incremental re-analysis so later runs only process changed files.
  • 06Analysis of Karpathy-pattern LLM wiki knowledge bases into a navigable graph.
  • 07Output localized to several languages, including Simplified Chinese.

Use cases

  • Getting oriented in a large unfamiliar codebase during onboarding.
  • Reviewing which modules a pending change touches before committing.
  • Generating a shared, committed architecture map for a team to browse.
  • Turning a personal Markdown or wiki knowledge base into a linked graph.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Add the plugin marketplace in Claude Code

    /plugin marketplace add Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything
  2. 2

    Install the understand-anything plugin

    /plugin install understand-anything
  3. 3

    Analyze your codebase to build the knowledge graph

    /understand
  4. 4

    Open the interactive dashboard

    /understand-dashboard

Things to know

  • The initial analysis of a large codebase can consume a significant number of tokens.
  • The native install path targets Claude Code; other platforms need a separate install script.
