/understand-dashboard

Start the Understand Anything dashboard to visualize the knowledge graph for the current project.

Instructions

1. Determine the project directory:
• If $ARGUMENTS contains a path, use that as the project directory
• Otherwise, use the current working directory

1. Check that .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json exists in the project directory. If not, tell the user:

```

No knowledge graph found. Run /understand first to analyze this project.

```

1. Find the dashboard code. The dashboard is at packages/dashboard/ relative to this plugin's root directory. Use the Bash tool to resolve the path:

```bash

PLUGIN_ROOT="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")/../.." && pwd)"

```

Or locate it by checking these paths in order:

• ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/packages/dashboard/
• The parent directory of this skill file, then ../../packages/dashboard/

1. Install dependencies if needed:

```bash

cd && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile 2>/dev/null || pnpm install

```

1. Start the Vite dev server pointing at the project's knowledge graph:

```bash

cd && GRAPH_DIR= npx vite --open

```

Run this in the background so the user can continue working.

1. Report to the user:

```

Dashboard started at http://localhost:5173

Viewing: /.understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json

The dashboard is running in the background. Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop it.

```

Notes

• The dashboard auto-opens in the default browser via --open
• If port 5173 is already in use, Vite will pick the next available port
• The GRAPH_DIR environment variable tells the dashboard where to find the knowledge graph
