explain

A skill for explaining a file or code snippet in plain language while teaching the reusable pattern behind its structure. It covers files such as page objects, tests, test data, configuration, and load-testing scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to walk through a file block by block, explain its role and conventions, define unfamiliar terms, and suggest a small exercise.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand both what generated code does and why it is organized that way, instead of only describing individual lines.

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 2d 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

/explain — Explain a File in Plain Language

Type: Learning Description: Explains any generated file in plain language, teaching the pattern behind the code rather than just describing the output. Built primarily for Persona 1 (manual QA learning automation).


Input Format

  • A file path (Page Object, spec, fixture, factory, config, or k6 script), or
  • A pasted snippet the user wants explained

Output Format

A plain-language walkthrough:

  1. What this file is — its role in the suite
  2. Why it's structured this way — the Autoframe convention behind it
  3. Line-by-line / block-by-block — what each part does, no jargon
  4. The pattern to remember — the reusable lesson
  5. Try it yourself — a small suggested exercise

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Default to Persona 1 tone: warm, encouraging, jargon-free; define every term the first time it appears.
  2. Read the target file fully.
  3. Identify which Autoframe convention it follows (POM, spec, fixture, factory, k6) and reference CLAUDE.md.
  4. Walk through it block by block, always pairing what with why.
  5. Surface the transferable pattern so the user can apply it to the next file.
  6. End with a small, concrete exercise (e.g. "add an expectErrorVisible() assertion method").
  7. Offer to explain a related file next.

Rules

  • Teach the pattern, not just the syntax.
  • No unexplained jargon.
  • Never modify the file — this skill only explains.
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.
