What Understand Chat does

Understand Chat answers questions about a codebase using a pre-built knowledge graph, so an agent can explain files, functions, and dependencies. Use it when you need to ask questions about a codebase or understand code without reading the entire graph into context.

Understand Chat is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Understand Chat comes from a repository tagged antigravity-skills, business-knowledge, claude-code, claude-skills and codebase-analysis.
