Query your codes with artificial intelligence
Do you have a 200,000-line code base or a huge document archive that you don't recognize? Understand Anything turns all of this content into a map that you can dive into and ask questions. It works compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity and Gemini CLI.

/understandWhat you get
- You can solve a project you are unfamiliar with within minutes.
- You can instantly produce content with the "Prepare a guide for beginners" command.
- “Where is this feature and how does it work?” You can learn the details by asking:
- You turn your own document and note archive into an interactive question-answer system without needing coding knowledge.
Just write this and ask:
- What does this project do, how does it work?
- Create an onboarding guide for a beginner.
- What exactly does that file do, what are its dependencies?
What does it feel like?
What does this project do and where should I look to make changes?
Try it in 2 minutes
Install the Understand Anything plugin in Claude Code with the commands '/plugin marketplace add Lum1104/Understand-Anything' and '/plugin install understand-anything', then in my project run '/understand' to analyze the codebase and open the interactive knowledge graph panel with '/understand-dashboard'.
Repository: https://github.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything. Follow the official instructions in the README of this repository for setup and execution.
Before starting, check which OS we are on and if the necessary tools (e.g., Python, Node.js, Git, Docker) are installed. Install any missing ones step-by-step according to this system.
Create a new, empty folder to work in. Do not touch any files outside this folder and do not delete anything. Tell me what you are going to do in one sentence before running each command.
Tell me what I should see on the screen at the end of each step. If an error occurs, I will paste the error message to you exactly as it is, and we will fix it together.
Why is it on the agenda?
Because it is at the center of the "understanding code and information by asking AI" trend. Beyond being a standalone application, it is included as an add-on to the assistants you use (such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI). The fact that it was starred by more than 4,700 developers in one day is a testament to the intense interest it has received.
Boundaries · honestly
- It's not magic: the quality of the answers depends on the AI model you use.
- In very large and messy projects, the initial scan may take time.
- You'll need to set up an AI assistant (and often open an account).
