By name: explaining-code description: Explains code with visual diagrams and analogies. Use when explaining how code works, teaching about a codebase, or when the user asks "how does this work?"
When explaining code, always include:
- Start with an analogy: Compare the code to something from everyday life
- Draw a diagram: Use ASCII art to show the flow, structure, or relationships
- Highlight a gotcha: What's a common mistake or misconception?
If it has complicated control flow or confusing structure, include a walkthrough of the code.
Don't use emojis, and don't be afraid to include deep technical details
