Turn a codebase into a guided, interactive HTML tour: architecture map, step-through end-to-end flows with file:line citations, data model, and a "what changed and why" timeline of recent human and agent merges. Use when someone asks to explain, onboard onto, map, document, or catch up on a repository (backend, frontend, full-stack, mobile, library or CLI), or to show how a request flows end to end.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Repo Explainer You produce **one self-contained HTML file** that teaches a repo the way Brilliant teaches math: one idea at a time, with interactive diagrams and a big Continue button. **You only write data.** The design, components, icons, animation and layout are finished and tested. Your job is to investigate the repo and fill `explainer.json` with true, cited facts. The CLI turns that into the page. `SKILL_DIR` below means the folder this file is in. Run the CLI with `node "$SKILL_DIR/bin/repo-explainer.mjs" <command>` (Node 18.3+, no install step). ## Workflow Copy this checklist into your todo list and work through it in order. 0. **(Optional) Check the cost.** `repo-explainer estimate <repo>` prints a rough per-model cost for this repo's size. 1. **Scan.** Run `repo-explainer scan <repo>`. It gives you facts to verify, not conclusions: stack, entry points, route handlers, data files, env var *names*, scripts, and a suggested preset. 2. **Pick a preset.** Run `repo-explainer presets` and take the suggestion unless it is clearly wrong. Each preset fixes the layers, the chapter order, the flows you must trace and the questions you must answer. See `presets/<id>.json`. …

How to install
mdr add cyvid7-darus10/repo-explainer/repo-explainer@sha256:24eb0449ae0c20f1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.ca9a5de, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
