understand-diff
Use when you need to analyze git diffs or pull requests to understand what changed, affected components, and risks
npx skills add Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything --skill understand-diff --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# /understand-diff Analyze the current code changes against 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.

What does the understand-diff skill do?
Use when you need to analyze git diffs or pull requests to understand what changed, affected components, and risks
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything --skill understand-diff --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Egonex-AI/Understand-Anything, a repository with 77,447 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
