Understand Quickly runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 40 installs a week from npm. Last commit 17 Sep 2026.
Public registry of code-knowledge graphs for AI agents with schema validation and drift detection.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Understand Quickly every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
