SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill analyzes a codebase to produce an interactive knowledge graph that reveals architecture, components, and their relationships for easier understanding and onboarding.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated graph generation: Builds a structured graph of files, directories, and imports to visualize dependencies and architecture.
Interactive dashboard readiness: Outputs a knowledge-graph.json ready for use in a dashboard and exploration UI.
Use Case: On a large Django project, quickly map the Django apps, models, views, and templates into layers and edges for architecture reviews.

Quick Start

Provide a repository to the Understand Anything pipeline and run the Understand workflow to generate the knowledge graph for the current project.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a knowledge graph from a codebase for architecture visualization?▼

To generate a knowledge graph from a codebase, this Skill analyzes files, directories, and imports to map dependencies and architecture. It outputs a structured JSON payload ready for interactive dashboard ingestion.

What is static analysis used for when mapping code architecture and dependencies?▼

Static analysis for code architecture maps structural relationships between files and directories without executing the code. This process captures dependencies, layers, and components to form a comprehensive dependency graph.

Can I use this knowledge graph generation for a large Django project?▼

Yes, you can use this for a large Django project. It maps Django apps, models, views, and templates into distinct layers and edges, facilitating quick architecture reviews and onboarding.

How do I prepare my repository for automated dependency graph extraction?▼

Provide your repository directly to the pipeline and run the workflow. The automated analysis scans the codebase to extract non-code context and structural dependencies into a structured graph payload.

Does the generated dependency graph output support interactive dashboard exploration?▼

Yes, the dependency graph output supports interactive dashboard exploration. It produces a knowledge-graph.json file specifically structured for immediate ingestion by exploration UI and dashboard platforms.

What is the best way to visualize code components and relationships for onboarding?▼

The best way to visualize code components for onboarding is generating a structured knowledge graph. It reveals architecture, dependencies, and relationships, turning complex codebases into learnable graphs.
