Explains how a codebase works, local or from any git URL, as one illustrated page: purpose, stack, structure, entry points, main flow, where to start reading, every claim cited. Use when asked to explain a repo.
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
# Code Explainer Read a project — a local folder, or a repository fetched from any git host — and explain how it works to a person who has never seen it, as one self-contained page they open in a browser: what it is, what it is built with, how it is laid out, where execution starts, what happens on the main path through it, which patterns hold it together, and where to start reading. The page is the deliverable; the run ends with it open in front of the user. Signals first, prose second. Every statement on the page traces to something read in the tree: a manifest entry, an import, a registration call, a `file:line`. What the README claims and what the code does are kept apart, and where they disagree the page says so. What the tree cannot answer — why a choice was made, how it runs in production, who uses it — goes to an Open questions section instead of being guessed. An explanation that is fluent and wrong costs its reader more than no explanation: they build their mental model on it. …

How to install
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-code-explainer@sha256:aca5f38d6378c504The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.a4259a5, 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.
