Understand-Anything

Understand-Anything turns your codebase into an interactive knowledge graph. A multi-agent pipeline scans every file, function, class, and dependency, then visualizes it as a color-coded dashboard you can explore, search, and query in natural language.

This is onboarding on steroids. New to a repo? Run /understand-anything and get architectural layers (API, Service, Data, UI, Utility) mapped automatically, 12 programming patterns identified in context, and plain-English explanations of any node. Supports incremental updates — only re-analyzes changed files. Compared to CodeSee (commercial, shuttered) or manual architecture docs, this is automated and always current.

Use this when joining a complex codebase or doing architectural review. Skip this for small projects where you can read every file in an afternoon.

The catch: the analysis is only as good as the LLM interpreting your code. Unconventional patterns or deeply nested abstractions may be mislabeled. And running a multi-agent pipeline on a large repo costs real tokens.
