​
Overview

OpenClaw is a supported platform for Understand Anything. Installation is handled via an AI-driven flow: you instruct OpenClaw to fetch and execute the installation guide directly from the repository.

​
Prerequisites

  • OpenClaw installed
  • Git installed and available on your PATH

​
Installation

1

Trigger the AI-driven install

Open OpenClaw and send the following message:
Fetch and follow instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything/refs/heads/main/.openclaw/INSTALL.md
OpenClaw fetches the install guide and executes the steps on your behalf.

What OpenClaw does for you

The instructions tell OpenClaw to:
  1. Clone the repository to ~/.openclaw/understand-anything: 
    git clone https://github.com/Lum1104/Understand-Anything.git ~/.openclaw/understand-anything
  2. Create the skills symlink so OpenClaw can discover them: 
    mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills
ln -s ~/.openclaw/understand-anything/understand-anything-plugin/skills ~/.openclaw/skills/understand-anything
    On Windows (PowerShell), the equivalent commands use New-Item and mklink /J instead of ln -s.
  3. Restart OpenClaw to discover the newly linked skills.

Restart OpenClaw

Restart OpenClaw so it picks up the new skills from ~/.openclaw/skills/understand-anything.

​
Verification

After restarting, the following skill commands should be available:
  • @understand — Analyze the current codebase
  • @understand-chat — Ask questions about the knowledge graph
  • @understand-dashboard — Launch the interactive dashboard

​
First Use

Run the analysis by invoking the skill: 
@understand
The multi-agent pipeline scans your project, builds the knowledge graph at .understand-anything/knowledge-graph.json, and opens the interactive dashboard on completion.

​
Updating

To pull the latest version: 
cd ~/.openclaw/understand-anything && git pull
The symlink means skills update instantly — no restart needed.

​
Uninstalling

rm ~/.openclaw/skills/understand-anything
rm -rf ~/.openclaw/understand-anything
