What it does

Turns any codebase into an interactive knowledge graph you can explore, search, and query with natural language.

When to use it

•You need a visual, searchable map of a complex codebase for onboarding new engineers.
•You want to ask LLM‑powered questions (e.g., “where is the authentication flow?”) directly on your repo.
•You’re preparing documentation or a demo and need a live graph that updates with code changes.

Ready-to-paste prompt

npx understand-anything generate --path ./src --model openai --output ./graph.json && npx understand-anything serve --graph ./graph.json

Heads up: The tool only runs on Node >=18 and requires a valid Anthropic or OpenAI API key; without it the generation step will fail with a 401 error.
