Overview

Cursor is a supported platform for Understand Anything. The repository ships a .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest that Cursor reads automatically when you open the cloned repo. There is no manual installation step — just clone and open.

​
Prerequisites

  • Cursor installed
  • Git installed and available on your PATH

​
Installation

1

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything.git
2

Open the cloned directory in Cursor

cursor Understand-Anything
Cursor reads .cursor-plugin/plugin.json at startup and automatically registers the plugin’s skills and agents.
No manual configuration is required. Cursor discovers the plugin through the .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest included in the repository root.

​
How Auto-Discovery Works

The .cursor-plugin/plugin.json manifest declares: 
{
  "name": "understand-anything",
  "displayName": "Understand Anything",
  "skills": "./understand-anything-plugin/skills/",
  "agents": "./understand-anything-plugin/agents/"
}
Cursor reads this file and loads the skills and agents from the paths listed, making all understand-* commands immediately available.

​
Verification

After opening the directory in Cursor, verify the plugin is active by checking for available skills in the Cursor command palette or AI panel. The following skills should be accessible:
  • understand — Build the knowledge graph
  • understand-dashboard — Open the interactive dashboard
  • understand-chat — Ask questions about the codebase
  • understand-diff — Analyze impact of current changes
  • understand-explain — Deep-dive into a specific file or function
  • understand-onboard — Generate an onboarding guide

​
First Use

With the repository open in Cursor, run /understand in the AI panel to start the analysis: 
/understand
The multi-agent pipeline scans your project, builds a knowledge graph at .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json, and opens the interactive dashboard when complete.

​
Updating

Pull the latest changes from the repository: 
cd Understand-Anything && git pull
Reopen the directory in Cursor to pick up any plugin manifest changes.
