SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

New team members often face a steep ramp because project knowledge is fragmented across code, docs, and implicit architecture. This Skill automates assembly of a concise, structured onboarding guide by extracting high-level project metadata, architecture layers, guided tours, and key file summaries from a project's knowledge graph.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Overview Extraction: Pulls project name, description, languages, and frameworks from the graph metadata to create a one-page summary.
  • Architecture Layers & File Map: Reads layers and file-level nodes to map major components and what each key file does.
  • Guided Tour & Key Concepts: Converts the tour entries and node summaries into a step-by-step learning path and highlights important patterns and design decisions.
  • Complexity Hotspot Detection: Identifies high-complexity files to recommend areas that require extra onboarding attention.
  • Use Case: Onboard a new engineer by generating a markdown ONBOARDING document that includes overview, architecture, guided steps, and files to review first.

Quick Start

Generate an onboarding guide using the knowledge graph file located at .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json.

Frequently Asked Questions about understand-onboard

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an onboarding guide from a project knowledge graph?▼

To generate an onboarding guide from a project knowledge graph, this Skill reads the .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json file to extract project metadata, architecture layers, and file-level nodes into a structured markdown document.

What is a knowledge graph onboarding guide and how does it work?▼

A knowledge graph onboarding guide is a structured markdown document that assembles project overviews, architecture summaries, and file maps by reading node metadata and complexity metrics directly from a JSON knowledge graph.

How do I create a project overview and file map for new engineers?▼

You can create a project overview and file map by extracting project name, languages, frameworks, and file-level nodes from the knowledge graph, which automatically identifies major architectural components and key file summaries.

Can I detect complexity hotspots in my codebase for onboarding focus?▼

Yes, you can detect complexity hotspots by filtering file-level nodes in the knowledge graph by complexity metrics, which identifies high-complexity files that require extra onboarding attention and review.

Do I need a specific knowledge-graph JSON format to generate architecture layer summaries?▼

Yes, you need a specifically formatted knowledge-graph JSON file located at .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json, which must contain project metadata, architecture layers, tour entries, and file-level nodes to function correctly.

What's the best way to automate codebase onboarding documentation from existing project graphs?▼

The best way to automate codebase onboarding documentation is to extract guided tours, architecture summaries, and key concepts from existing knowledge graph nodes, converting them directly into a step-by-step learning path markdown file.
