Analyze a codebase to produce an interactive knowledge graph for understanding architecture, components, and relationships.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# /understand

Analyze the current codebase and produce a `knowledge-graph.json` file in the project's data directory (`.ua/`, or the legacy `.understand-anything/` when it already exists). This file powers the interactive dashboard for exploring the project's architecture.

## Options

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

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add egonex-ai/understand-anything/understand@sha256:12a224cbe2dfdb49

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.e3590a2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
