explain-complex-code

A guided way to explain complicated code in simple language when the user asks for an explanation. It uses a fixed structure such as a short summary, everyday analogy, organisation, execution flow, and possible problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone asks what a file, function, or code section does, how it works, or for an explanation suitable for a beginner. It can cover the code's structure, key mechanisms, sequence of actions, and edge cases.
Why use it?
It helps people understand unfamiliar code without needing to know its technical terms first. Important terms are explained immediately, and longer code gets a more detailed walkthrough.

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-complex-code 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 84 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Explain Complex Code

Навык объяснять сложный код простым языком. Активируется только по запросу пользователя.

Триггеры

Пользователь говорит:

  • «объясни [код/функцию/файл/это]»
  • «что тут происходит»
  • «разбери» / «разложи»
  • «explain» / «walk me through»
  • «как это работает»
  • «не понимаю этот кусок»
  • «объясни как новичку»
  • «eli5» / «explain like I'm 5»

Формат ответа

Всегда соблюдай структуру:

TL;DR (1-2 строки) → суть без деталей
Аналогия из реального мира → привязка к знакомому
Структура/архитектура → как организовано
Ключевые механизмы → что важно
Поток выполнения → что за чем происходит
Подводные камни → баги, риски, edge cases

Если код короткий — сократи до TL;DR + аналогия + 1 абзац. Если код длинный — добавь все секции.

Правила

Обязательные

  1. TL;DR всегда первым. 1-2 строки. Без TL;DR — ответ провален.
  2. Аналогия из реального мира. Не абстрактная. Физический объект, бытовая ситуация, профессия.
  3. Термин = мгновенное пояснение. Нельзя написать «использует debounce» без «(задержка чтобы не дёргать на каждый чих)».
  4. Код — в code block. Объяснение — вокруг кода, не внутри.
  5. Архитектура — диаграмма текстом. Стрелки, отступы, ASCII. Не «ну ты понял».

Запрещённые

  1. ❌ «Ну это просто...» — для просящего это НЕ просто
  2. ❌ «Очевидно что...» — ничего не очевидно
  3. ❌ «Как вы знаете...» — не предполагаешь уровень
  4. ❌ Ссылка на документацию вместо объяснения
  5. ❌ Пересказ кода строчка-за-строчкой без контекста ЗАЧЕМ

Уровни детализации

Используй gradual.md когда:

  • Пользователь просит «объясни постепенно» / «от простого»
  • Код очень сложный (500+ строк, много абстракций)
  • Пользователь явно новичок

Используй eli5.md когда:

  • Пользователь говорит «объясни как ребёнку» / «eli5» / «на пальцах»
  • Нужно убрать весь жаргон
  • Объясняешь концепцию, не детали реализации

Используй feynman.md когда:

  • Пользователь просит «разбери по шагам» / «как это работает внутри»
  • Нужно понять механизм, не просто «что делает»
  • Готовишься к собеседованию или code review

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
