How do I keep the knowledge graph in sync with my code?

You can use the --auto-update flag to enable automatic graph synchronization. This ensures that every git commit triggers an incremental update to the graph.

What happens if the knowledge graph becomes outdated?

You can force a complete architectural rebuild at any time by using the --full flag, which ignores existing data and re-analyzes the codebase from scratch.

Can I exclude specific directories like tests or node_modules?

Absolutely. The skill generates an .understandignore file where you can define glob patterns to exclude any files or directories from the analysis.

How does the 'understand' skill differ from standard code search?

While standard search finds specific text or symbols, the 'understand' skill maps logical relationships and dependencies, providing a visual flow of how components interact across your entire project.

Does it support monorepos with multiple sub-projects?

Yes, it includes a subdomain merging utility that allows you to combine individual graphs from different directories into a single, unified project architecture.

Transforms codebases and knowledge bases into interactive knowledge graphs to visualize architecture and component relationships.

Understand Anything is a specialized capability for Claude Code that bridges the gap between raw source code and architectural mental models. By analyzing your project's structure, it generates a comprehensive, interactive knowledge graph that reveals how components interact, enabling developers to navigate complex codebases, perform impact analysis, and onboard to new projects faster. It supports incremental updates, custom ignore patterns, and LLM-powered graph validation to ensure your visual architectural map stays accurate as your code evolves.
