Understand-Anything

[!TIP] 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.

✨ Features

[!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.

Explore the structural graph

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.

Understand business logic

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.

Analyze knowledge bases

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.

🚀 Quick Start

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.

3. Explore the dashboard

/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.

4. Keep learning

📦 Share the Graph with Your Team

The graph is just JSON — commit it once, and teammates skip the pipeline. Good for onboarding, PR reviews, and docs-as-cod
