Launch the interactive web dashboard to visualize a codebase's knowledge graph
npx skills add https://github.com/Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything --skill understand-dashboard
Start the Understand Anything dashboard to visualize the knowledge graph for the current project.
$ARGUMENTS contains a path, use that as the project directory.understand-anything/ data directory when it exists, otherwise use .ua/Use the Bash tool to resolve:
PROJECT_ARG="$ARGUMENTS"
if [ -n "$PROJECT_ARG" ]; then
PROJECT_DIR=$(cd "$PROJECT_ARG" 2>/dev/null && pwd -P)
else
PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd -P)

$UA_DIR/knowledge-graph.json exists in the project directory. If not, tell the user: No knowledge graph found. Run /understand first to analyze this project.
Use the Bash tool to check:
if [ ! -f "$UA_DIR/knowledge-graph.json" ]; then
echo "No knowledge graph found. Run /understand first to analyze this project."
exit 1

VIEWER_URL="https://github.com/Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything/releases/download/v${PLUGIN_VERSION}/understand-anything-viewer.tgz"
npx --yes "$VIEWER_URL" "$PROJECT_DIR"
Run this in the background. It prints the same 🔑 Dashboard URL line as the dev server:
: "${PLUGIN_ROOT:?Run step 3 first so PLUGIN_ROOT is set}"
DASHBOARD_DIR="${DASHBOARD_DIR:-$PLUGIN_ROOT/packages/dashboard}"
cd "$DASHBOARD_DIR" && (pnpm install --frozen-lockfile 2>/dev/null || pnpm install)
Then ensure the core package is built (the dashboard depends on it):
: "${PLUGIN_ROOT:?Run step 3 first so PLUGIN_ROOT is set}"
cd "$PLUGIN_ROOT" && pnpm --filter @understand-anything/core build
: "${PROJECT_DIR:?Run step 1 first so PROJECT_DIR is set}"
: "${DASHBOARD_DIR:?Run step 5 first so DASHBOARD_DIR is set}"
cd "$DASHBOARD_DIR" && GRAPH_DIR="$PROJECT_DIR" npx vite --host 127.0.0.1
Run this in the background so the user can continue working.
🔑 Dashboard URL: http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>?token=<TOKEN>
Extract the full URL including the ?token= parameter. The token is required to access the knowledge graph data — without it the dashboard will show an "Access Token Required" gate.
Dashboard started at http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>?token=<TOKEN>
Viewing: $UA_DIR/knowledge-graph.json
The dashboard is running in the background. Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop it.
Important: Always include the ?token= parameter in the URL you share. If you omit it, the user will be blocked by the token gate and have to manually find the token in the terminal output.
--open)GRAPH_DIR environment variable tells the dev server where to find the knowledge graphComprehensive spreadsheet creation, editing, and analysis with support for formulas, formatting, data analysis, and visualization. When Claude needs to work with spreadsheets (.xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, .tsv, etc) for: (1) Creating new spreadsheets with formulas and formatting, (2) Reading or analyzing data, (3) Modify existing spreadsheets while preserving formulas, (4) Data analysis and visualization in spreadsheets, or (5) Recalculating formulas
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like \"the xlsx in my downloads\") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
Picks random winners from lists, spreadsheets, or Google Sheets for giveaways, raffles, and contests. Ensures fair, unbiased selection with transparency.
Query openFDA API for drugs, devices, adverse events, recalls, regulatory submissions (510k, PMA), substance identification (UNII), for FDA regulatory data analysis and safety research.
MATLAB and GNU Octave numerical computing for matrix operations, data analysis, visualization, and scientific computing. Use when writing MATLAB/Octave scripts for linear algebra, signal processing, image processing, differential equations, optimization, statistics, or creating scientific visualizations. Also use when the user needs help with MATLAB syntax, functions, or wants to convert between MATLAB and Python code. Scripts can be executed with MATLAB or the open-source GNU Octave interpreter.
UMAP dimensionality reduction. Fast nonlinear manifold learning for 2D/3D visualization, clustering preprocessing (HDBSCAN), supervised/parametric UMAP, for high-dimensional data.
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .xltx, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats.

Creating interactive data visualisations using d3.js. This skill should be used when creating custom charts, graphs, network diagrams, geographic visualisations, or any complex SVG-based data visualisation that requires fine-grained control over visual elements, transitions, or interactions. Use this for bespoke visualisations beyond standard charting libraries, whether in React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla JavaScript, or any other environment.
Take egonex-ai/understand-dashboard from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference npm, npx.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
