Questions about codebase-explainer
What does the codebase-explainer skill do?
Produces an onboarding guide for an unfamiliar repository from its real import graph. A bundled script parses Python, JS/TS and Go imports to find entry points, hub files that many others depend on, import cycles, orphans and external packages, then emits a Mermaid architecture diagram and a self-contained interactive HTML dependency graph. The guide covers the architecture overview, how a request or data flows from the API to the database, key modules and the files to handle with care, each backed by numbers. Use when the user asks to explain a codebase, onboard to a new or just-cloned repo, map the codebase or its modules, draw an architecture or dependency diagram, see what imports what, or asks "where do I start?".
