System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

ix-understand turns a codebase into a clear architectural mental model so you can understand structure, key subsystems, and important components without wasting tokens on broad source reading.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Graph-first architectural orientation: Builds a system overview using Ix graph data (subsystems, ranks, and codebase scale metrics) with confidence-aware caveats.
  • Depth-controlled analysis: Offers --shallow, --medium, and --deep modes to balance speed vs completeness.
  • Agent-backed exploration when needed: Delegates deeper subsystem exploration to ix-memory:ix-system-explorer agents in --medium and --deep routes, reducing manual graph command work.

Quick Start

Run ix-understand to generate a whole-repo architectural overview from graph metrics: /ix-understand .
