understand-dashboard

understand-dashboard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,952 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that opens a web dashboard for viewing a project's knowledge graph, a visual map of its code and related project information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch the dashboard for the current project or another project directory after its knowledge graph has been created.
Why use it?
It makes the relationships in the graph easier to inspect than reading the underlying JSON file.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: argument-hint in frontmatter, but also reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex; mentions OpenCode.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

understand-dashboard scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/understand-dashboard

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

Instructions

  1. Determine the project directory and data directory:

    • If $ARGUMENTS contains a path, use that as the project directory
    • Otherwise, use the current working directory
    • Prefer the legacy .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)
    fi
    
    if [ -z "$PROJECT_DIR" ] || [ ! -d "$PROJECT_DIR" ]; then
      echo "Error: Project directory not found: ${PROJECT_ARG:-$PWD}"
      exit 1
    fi
    
    if [ -d "$PROJECT_DIR/.understand-anything" ]; then
      UA_DIR="$PROJECT_DIR/.understand-anything"
    else
      UA_DIR="$PROJECT_DIR/.ua"
    fi
    
  2. Check that $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
    fi
    
  3. Find the dashboard code. The dashboard is at packages/dashboard/ relative to this plugin's root directory. Check these paths in order and use the first that exists:

    • ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/packages/dashboard/ (Claude Code runtime root, highest priority)
    • ~/.understand-anything-plugin/packages/dashboard/ (universal symlink, all installs)
    • Two levels up from ~/.agents/skills/understand-dashboard real path (self-relative fallback)
    • Two levels up from ~/.copilot/skills/understand-dashboard real path (Copilot personal skills fallback)
    • Common clone-based install roots:
      • ~/.codex/understand-anything/understand-anything-plugin/packages/dashboard/
      • ~/.opencode/understand-anything/understand-anything-plugin/packages/dashboard/
      • ~/.pi/understand-anything/understand-anything-plugin/packages/dashboard/
      • ~/understand-anything/understand-anything-plugin/packages/dashboard/

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
