About explaining-code

A code-explanation skill that specifies a consistent structure for conversational walkthroughs. It asks explanations to begin with an everyday analogy, include an ASCII diagram, proceed step by step, and call out a common pitfall.

Key features

  1. 01Beginning with an everyday analogy
  2. 02Showing flow or structure in ASCII
  3. 03Explaining code step by step
  4. 04Highlighting a common gotcha

Use cases

  1. 01Explaining a code path to a new teammate
  2. 02Teaching a complex concept with analogies
  3. 03Clarifying code flow and common mistakes

Details

From the project README

When explaining code, always include:

  1. Start with an analogy: Compare the code to something from everyday life
  2. Draw a diagram: Use ASCII art to show the flow, structure, or relationships
  3. Walk through the code: Explain step-by-step what happens
  4. Highlight a gotcha: What's a common mistake or misconception?

Keep explanations conversational. For complex concepts, use multiple analogies.
