FAQPage Schema

How do I generate an interactive knowledge graph for a large codebase?▼

To generate an interactive knowledge graph for a codebase, run the 'understand' skill on your local project directory. It automatically scans source code and outputs a JSON file containing the structural relationships and dependencies for interactive visualization.

What do I need to scan source code and generate a code intelligence dashboard?▼

You need local access to the codebase and the ability to execute Python scripts for analysis. Providing the project directory path allows the tool to scan source code and output the JSON graph structure required for the interactive dashboard.

How does codebase analysis map structural relationships into an interactive dashboard?▼

Codebase analysis automatically scans repositories to map structural relationships, dependencies, and flows into an interactive dashboard. It generates a JSON file containing the graph structure, enabling interactive exploration of the project's architecture.

What is the best way to navigate complex source code and visualize architecture flows?▼

The best way to navigate complex source code is to generate an interactive knowledge graph. This visualizes structural relationships, dependencies, and flows, enabling easier navigation and maintenance of large projects through interactive dashboards.

Does generating a knowledge graph require executing Python scripts locally?▼

Yes, generating a knowledge graph requires the ability to execute Python scripts locally for analysis. You must provide the path to your project directory so the source code can be scanned and the graph structure output as a JSON file.
