explain

Explaining unfamiliar code is done by providing a file path or open-ended concept, which allows the tool to gather context and deliver a top-down explanation suitable for code review. It highlights edge cases and flags potential pitfalls to aid your understanding of why the code works.

To understand an unfamiliar algorithm, request a top-down explanation that uses an inverted-pyramid structure to break down the logic. This method provides concrete examples and explicitly notes potential pitfalls and edge cases to ensure comprehensive learning.

Yes, you can review code structure without external dependencies because the skill requires no components or dependencies to function. It identifies the subject from your input and reads context directly from main files, callers, and tests to deliver the explanation.

To get a top-down explanation for a specific function and its callers, provide the function name as your input subject. The skill gathers context from related types and interfaces, then structures the explanation in an inverted-pyramid format to help you understand the architecture.

Explaining architecture works for both code reviews and learning concepts by tailoring the explanation to your specific context. It synthesizes context from interfaces and tests to deliver top-down explanations that clarify why code works for any audience.
