Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
Understand-Anything helps software architects and engineers navigate complex repositories by extracting business domain knowledge and visualizing it through a web dashboard. It replaces manual code tracing with a structured graph, making the relationships between modules and functions explicit.
The tool supports deep-dive explanations of specific files and analyzes git diffs to identify affected components and potential risks during pull request reviews.
Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Enter these commands in a Claude Code agent session, in order. They are not terminal commands.
A specific codebase question to substitute for <QUESTION>.
An existing .ua/knowledge-graph.json, or the legacy .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json, generated by the understand skill.
Run from the analyzed project's root directory.
Use the understand-chat skill to answer this question about the current codebase: "<QUESTION>". Keep the answer focused and reference the relevant files, functions, layers, and relationships from the knowledge graph. Replace <QUESTION> with the specific codebase question you want answered.
One file path or component identifier to substitute for <FILE_PATH_OR_COMPONENT>.
An existing .ua/knowledge-graph.json, or the legacy .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json, generated by the understand skill.
Run from the analyzed project's root directory.
Use the understand-explain skill to explain "<FILE_PATH_OR_COMPONENT>" in the current project. Replace <FILE_PATH_OR_COMPONENT> with one file path, or with a function in the documented form src/path/file.ts:functionName. Explain its architectural role, important connections, and input-to-output data flow clearly for a reader unfamiliar with the language.
