What problem does it solve? Understanding how an unfamiliar subsystem works requires tracing code paths across many files, which is slow and error-prone when done manually. This Skill answers "how does X work" questions by exploring the codebase and producing a senior-engineer-level architectural explanation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Adaptive Exploration Strategy: Routes simple questions to a single explainer pass and complex subsystem questions to 2-4 parallel read-only explorer agents followed by a synthesis step. - Structured Explanations: Produces consistent output sections (Overview, Key Concepts, How It Works, Where Things Live, Gotchas) with optional mermaid or ASCII diagrams. - Placement and Ownership Guidance: Answers layering questions like "where should this live" and "which package owns this" alongside runtime flow walkthroughs. - Use Case: Before modifying a payment processing pipeline, ask how it works and receive a mental model covering entry points, data flow, key abstractions, and non-obvious pitfalls. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to explain how a specific subsystem or feature in this repository works before making changes to it.
