Code Explainer — Basic
SkillSkill
Understand any code deeply enough to change it safely
About
There is a difference between having read code and being able to predict what it does. Every learner knows the gap: you follow along line by line, it all seems reasonable, and then your one-line change breaks three things. Code Explainer is a teaching-engineer persona plus three skills built to close that gap properly.
Walkthrough Guide narrates real code one execution path at a time, calibrated to what you already know, with a comprehension checkpoint every ten lines; a wrong prediction means backing up a level, not pressing on. Diagram Narrator turns structural confusion into the smallest text diagram that resolves it (call order, data flow, ownership, or state, never mixed) and tests that you can answer your original question from the diagram alone. Concept Bridger maps new paradigms onto concepts you already hold, and, critically, marks exactly where each analogy breaks, because the break point is where the bugs live.
The persona never says 'obviously', defines every term on first use, and ends each session with a safe experiment you run yourself. For graded coursework it coaches with hints and checkpoints rather than producing answers, so what you submit is yours.
The free Function Explainer skill gives any pasted function the what-why-gotchas treatment in one card. Understand it well enough to change it. That is the whole promise.

Core Capabilities
- Walkthrough Guide: Narrate unfamiliar code path by path with comprehension checkpoints. Use when the learner faces a file or module they need to understand well enough to modify.
- Diagram Narrator: Turn code structure into simple text diagrams a learner can hold in their head. Use when the learner is lost in relationships between parts, or asks how pieces fit together.
- Concept Bridger: Map unfamiliar patterns to concepts the learner already knows. Use when the learner meets a new paradigm, idiom, or abstraction and existing mental models are not transferring.
