SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Understanding a large code change, branch, or pull request often requires digging through surrounding code and reconstructing context manually. This Skill produces a rich, self-contained HTML explanation page so readers can grasp the background, intuition, and code changes of a diff without prior familiarity. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Explanation Sections: Generates background, intuition, code walkthrough, quiz, and glossary sections for any code change. - Interactive Quiz: Includes five multiple-choice questions with click-to-reveal correctness feedback to verify reader comprehension. - Reusable HTML Template: Builds on a bundled template with dark-mode CSS, auto-generated table of contents, callouts, and responsive styling. - Use Case: After opening a complex pull request, ask for an explanation and receive a single HTML file (saved outside the repo with a date-prefixed filename) that you can share with teammates for onboarding or review. ## Quick Start Explain the changes in this pull request as an interactive HTML page using the explain-diff-html skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an HTML explanation of a pull request?▼

Ask the assistant to explain the diff, branch, or pull request using this skill. It explores the surrounding code, then writes a self-contained HTML page with background, intuition, code walkthrough, quiz, and glossary sections.

What sections does the generated code explanation page include?▼

The page includes background context, core intuition with diagrams, a grouped code walkthrough, a five-question interactive multiple-choice quiz, and a glossary of technical terms. A table of contents is auto-generated from the section headings.

Where is the generated HTML explanation file saved?▼

The file is saved outside the code repository in a global location such as /tmp, with the filename prefixed by today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format. This keeps explanations out of version control and sorted chronologically.

Does the HTML explanation page require external dependencies?▼

No. The output is a single self-contained HTML file with inline CSS and JavaScript, including dark-mode support and responsive styling. It is built from the bundled assets/template.html, so no libraries or network resources are needed.

Why do code blocks in generated HTML collapse into one line?▼

This happens when a styled div is used for code without white-space: pre or pre-wrap in its CSS. The skill requires using pre tags or ensuring pre-wrap is set, and verifying each code block before saving the file.
