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.
The goal isn't a graph that wows you with how complex your codebase is — it's a graph that quietly teaches you how every piece fits together.
[!NOTE] 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.
/plugin marketplace add Lum1104/Understand-Anything
/plugin install understand-anything
/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.
Localized output: Use --language to generate content in your preferred language:
# Generate Chinese content (知识图节点描述和 Dashboard UI)
/understand --language zh
# Supported languages: en (default), zh, zh-TW, ja, ko, ru
On the first run in a project — when you don't pass --language and no language is stored yet — /understand detects the language you're conversing in. If it isn't English, it asks you to confirm (or override) before generating; English conversations are unaffected. Your choice is saved to .understand-anything/config.json and reused on every later run.
The --language parameter affects:
/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
# Re-run anytime — incremental by default (only re-analyzes changed files)
/understand
# Auto-update on every commit via a post-commit hook
/understand --auto-update
# Scope to a subdirectory (for huge monorepos)

Understand-Anything works across multiple AI coding platforms.
/plugin marketplace add Lum1104/Understand-Anything
/plugin install understand-anything
macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/main/install.sh | bash
# or skip the prompt by passing the platform:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/main/install.sh | bash -s codex
Windows (PowerShell):
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/main/install.ps1 | iex
The installer clones the repo to ~/.understand-anything/repo and creates the right symlinks for the chosen platform. Restart your CLI/IDE afterwards.
<platform> values: gemini, codex, opencode, pi, openclaw, antigravity, vibe, vscode, hermes, cline, kimi, trae./install.sh --update./install.sh --uninstall <platform>Cursor auto-discovers the plugin via .cursor-plugin/plugin.json when this repo is cloned. No manual installation needed — just clone and open in Cursor.
If auto-discovery doesn't pick it up, install it manually: open Cursor Settings → Plugins, paste https://github.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything into the search field, and add it from there.
VS Code with GitHub Copilot (v1.108+) auto-discovers the plugin via .copilot-plugin/plugin.json when this repo is cloned. No manual installation needed — just clone and open in VS Code.
For personal skills (available across all projects), run the install.sh above with the vscode platform.
