Explain Code presents the user-scoped code in a concise format, favoring plain English and brief code snippets. It is designed for developers who need quick explanations of code without exhaustive details.
$ npx skills add https://github.com/sidkh/skills --skill explain-codeExplain Code transforms any code snippet into a readable, structured explanation formatted like a scannable blog post. It breaks down functionality into focused sections with plain-English prose and minimal code sketches, helping developers quickly grasp what code does without dense technical jargon. The skill matches your exact code scope and uses a consistent format—a title, TLDR summary, and topic-specific sections—making it ideal for code reviews, onboarding, or understanding unfamiliar logic. It simplifies code behavior when helpful while staying faithful to intent, and refuses to invent explanations beyond what the code actually does.
