What it does
Explaining Code is an agent skill from bartstc/vite-ts-react-template. Explains code with visual diagrams and analogies. Use when explaining how code works, teaching about a codebase, or when the user asks "how does this work?"
Its SKILL.md is about 150 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Diagrams. It works with React. The repository describes itself as: This project provides a basic dev setup intended for Single Page Application (SPA) development. It contains key tools, settings for seamless DX, and an demo app presenting good… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Explaining how code works
- Teaching about a codebase
- The user asks how does this work?
Example prompts
- “how does this work?”
- “Use the explaining-code skill to explain code with visual diagrams and analogies. An agent skill from bartstc/vite-ts-react-template”
- “/explaining-code”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Start with an analogy: Compare the code to something from everyday life
- Draw a diagram: Use ASCII art to show the flow, structure, or relationships
- Walk through the code: Explain step-by-step what happens
- Highlight a gotcha: What's a common mistake or misconception?
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6aa5c9c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Explaining Code loads about 154 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 60 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Explains code with visual diagrams and analogies. Use when explaining how code works, teaching about a codebase, or when the user asks "how does this work?"
When explaining code, always include:
- Start with an analogy: Compare the code to something from everyday life
- Draw a diagram: Use ASCII art to show the flow, structure, or relationships
- Walk through the code: Explain step-by-step what happens
- Highlight a gotcha: What's a common mistake or misconception?
Keep explanations conversational. For complex concepts, use multiple analogies.
