Answer questions about this codebase using the knowledge graph in the project's data directory (.ua/knowledge-graph.json, or the legacy .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json when that directory is present).

Graph Structure Reference

The knowledge graph JSON has this structure:

• project, {name, description, languages, frameworks, analyzedAt, gitCommitHash}
• nodes[], each has {id, type, name, filePath?, summary, tags[], complexity, languageNotes?}
  • Code node types: file, function, class, module, concept
  • Non-code node types: config, document, service, table, endpoint, pipeline, schema, resource
  • Domain/knowledge node types: domain, flow, step, article, entity, topic, claim, source
  • IDs use the node type as prefix, e.g. file:path, function:path:name, config:path, article:path
• edges[], each has {source, target, type, direction, weight}
  • Key types: imports, contains, calls, depends_on, configures, documents, deploys, triggers, contains_flow, flow_step, related, cites
• layers[], each has {id, name, description, nodeIds[]}
• tour[], each has {order, title, description, nodeIds[]}

How to Read Efficiently

1. Use Grep to search within the JSON for relevant entries BEFORE reading the full file
2. Only read sections you need, don't dump the entire graph into context
3. Node names and summaries are the most useful fields for understanding
4. Edges tell you how components connect, follow imports and calls for dependency chains

Instructions

1. Resolve the data directory $UA_DIR. Run UA_DIR=$([ -d .understand-anything ] && echo .understand-anything || echo .ua), this is the legacy .understand-anything/ when it already exists, otherwise the new .ua/. Check that $UA_DIR/knowledge-graph.json exists in the current project root. If not, tell the user to run /understand first.
