What it does

After a codebase has been analyzed by the companion /understand command, this skill starts a local web dashboard so you can browse the project's structure and relationships visually in your browser. The agent runs shell commands to find the plugin, check that a knowledge-graph.json file exists, start a local server (first trying a prebuilt viewer download, otherwise installing dependencies and running a Vite dev server), and then gives you a tokenized localhost link to open.

Great for

  • Developers who already ran /understand on a project and want to explore its architecture visually
  • Teams wanting a local, browsable map of an unfamiliar codebase

Skip it if

  • Anyone who has not yet generated a knowledge graph, since the skill only displays existing analysis and stops with an error otherwise
  • Users on shared or untrusted machines, because the server is started locally and runs in the background with a token that could be shared unintentionally

Try asking

  • “Launch the dashboard for this project”
  • “Show me the knowledge graph dashboard for ~/work/my-api”
  • “Open the visualization of the current repo's code structure”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run /understand on the project first, otherwise the dashboard will exit with a message asking you to do so
  • Always use the full tokenized URL printed by the server; the dashboard refuses access without the ?token= parameter
  • Stop the background server with Ctrl+C in its terminal when finished
