Analyze the current codebase and produce a knowledge-graph.json file in .understand-anything/. This file powers the interactive dashboard for exploring the project's architecture.

Options

$ARGUMENTS may contain:

--full — Force a full rebuild, ignoring any existing graph

--auto-update — Enable automatic graph updates on commit (writes autoUpdate: true to .understand-anything/config.json)

--no-auto-update — Disable automatic graph updates (writes autoUpdate: false to .understand-anything/config.json)

--review — Run full LLM graph-reviewer instead of inline deterministic validation

--language <lang> — Generate all textual content (summaries, descriptions, tags, titles, languageNotes, languageLesson) in the specified language.

Locale variants supported: zh-TW, zh-HK, etc. Defaults to en (English). Stores preference in .understand-anything/config.json for consistency across incremental updates.

A directory path (e.g. /path/to/repo or ../other-project) — Analyze the given directory instead of the current working directory

Phase 0 — Pre-flight
