Explain what a piece of code does in plain English, at the depth the reader needs. Use when asked to explain code, walk through a function, understand an unfamiliar snippet, or onboard to a file. Produces a one-line summary, a step-by-step walkthrough, the non-obvious parts called out, and any bugs or smells spotted along the way.

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 Skill

Make unfamiliar code understandable — fast — without dumbing it down.

## Working from a brief

Infer the language and intent from the code itself; label assumptions *(assumed — confirm)*. Always produce a complete explanation even from a fragment. Match depth to the apparent level of the question.

## Input

Ask for these if not provided:
- **The code** — the snippet or file to explain (paste it, or point at the path)
- **The language or runtime** — if it is not obvious from the code
- **The reader** — who this is for and how much they already know
- **What they are trying to understand** — the bug, the review, the handover; infer the rest

## Output Structure

### In one line
What this code does, in a single sentence a busy reader can repeat.

### Step by step
A walkthrough of the logic in order — group by block/function. Explain *why*, not just *what*, for anything non-trivial. Reference line ranges where helpful.

### Worth knowing
The non-obvious bits: clever tricks, gotchas, side effects, complexity, dependencies, or assumptions the code makes.

### Anything off?

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/code-explainer@sha256:22eee627c7db322f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.f4e8863, 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.
