/understand

Analyze the current codebase and produce a knowledge-graph.json file in .understand-anything/. This file powers the interactive dashboard for exploring the project's architecture.

Options

• $ARGUMENTS may contain:
  • --full — Force a full rebuild, ignoring any existing graph
  • --auto-update — Enable automatic graph updates on commit (writes autoUpdate: true to .understand-anything/config.json)
  • --no-auto-update — Disable automatic graph updates (writes autoUpdate: false to .understand-anything/config.json)
  • --review — Run full LLM graph-reviewer instead of inline deterministic validation
  • --language <lang> — Generate all textual content (summaries, descriptions, tags, titles, languageNotes, languageLesson) in the specified language. Accepts ISO 639-1 codes (zh, ja, ko, en, es, fr, de, etc.) or friendly names (chinese, japanese, korean, english, spanish, etc.). Locale variants supported: zh-TW, zh-HK, etc. Defaults to en (English). Stores preference in .understand-anything/config.json for consistency across incremental updates.
  • A directory path (e.g. /path/to/repo or ../other-project) — Analyze the given directory instead of the current working directory

Progress Reporting

Throughout execution, report progress to the user at each phase transition and during batch processing. This keeps users informed on large codebases where analysis can take a long time.
