explain

explain is a command for Claude Code from architawr/claude-bpmn-skill. It costs 18 tokens per session (166 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that reads a BPMN 2.0 diagram, a standard format for describing business processes, and explains its flow in plain language.

In plain words
What is it for?
It explains the normal path, decision branches, parallel work, and exception handling, and can lint the diagram when reviewing or debugging it.
Why use it?
It makes process diagrams easier to understand without manually interpreting technical diagram data.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

explain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Use the bpmn skill to read and explain the BPMN diagram at: $ARGUMENTS

Run the skill's summarize on the file first (it is your source of truth — don't eyeball raw DI), then explain the process in plain language: the happy path first, then decision points (what each gateway branches on), parallel work, and exception / boundary handling. Name real business steps, not element IDs, and match the user's language. If this looks like a review ("is this correct?", "why does it hang?"), also run lint and report any control-flow issues.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
