Codebase Architecture Knowledge Graph
Transforms codebases into interactive architectural knowledge graphs for exploring component relationships and dependencies.
The Understand skill analyzes your codebase to construct a comprehensive, interactive knowledge graph exported to a local data directory. It systematically parses components, dependencies, and architectural patterns through a multi-phase analysis pipeline with support for incremental updates, multilingual output, custom exclusion rules, and automated Git hooks. This tool is ideal for onboarding onto unfamiliar repositories, auditing legacy systems, and visualizing complex system interactions directly within Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI developer environments.
