SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Non-technical builders who create software with AI coding tools often cannot read or understand the code they ship, making it hard to debug issues, steer AI assistants, or discuss architecture with engineers. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Codebase Analysis and Curriculum Design: Reads a local folder or cloned GitHub repository, identifies the main components and data flows, and structures a 4-6 module course arc. - Interactive HTML Course Generation: Produces a self-contained course directory with scroll-based modules, code-to-plain-English translation blocks, animated data flow and group chat visualizations, application-focused quizzes, and glossary tooltips. - Parallel Build Path: For complex codebases, writes module briefs and dispatches subagents to build modules in parallel, then assembles everything with a build script. - Use Case: Point it at an open-source project you found on GitHub and receive a browser-ready course that traces what happens under the hood when you use the app. ## Quick Start Say "turn this codebase into an interactive course" while inside a project, or provide a GitHub link to clone and analyze.

Frequently Asked Questions about codebase-to-course

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a codebase into an interactive course?

Copy the skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/, open a project in Claude Code, and say "turn this codebase into an interactive course." You can also provide a GitHub link, which gets cloned before analysis begins.

What does the generated course output look like?

The output is a directory containing styles.css, main.js, per-module HTML files, and an assembled index.html. It opens directly in a browser with no setup, and the only external dependency is the Google Fonts CDN.

Can I generate a course from a GitHub repository link?

Yes. Provide a GitHub URL and the skill clones the repo to a temporary directory with git clone before starting the codebase analysis phase. Local folders and the current working directory also work.

Who is the generated course designed for?

The course targets vibe coders who build software with AI coding tools without a traditional CS background. It assumes zero technical knowledge, explains every term with glossary tooltips, and focuses on practical skills like debugging and steering AI assistants.

How does the skill handle large or complex codebases?

For complex codebases needing 6 or more modules, it writes a brief per module with pre-extracted code snippets, then dispatches subagents in batches of up to 3 to write modules in parallel. Simple codebases use a sequential single-context build.

Why do tooltips or animations break in the generated course?

Tooltips get clipped when containers use overflow hidden, so main.js positions them with position fixed appended to document.body. Flow animations break if step labels contain single quotes, since the data-steps attribute is single-quote delimited.
