Project Feature Explainer Skill

This skill provides a systematic approach to analyzing and explaining a specific feature within a codebase.

Workflow

  1. Identify Entry Points: Locate the main functions, classes, or API endpoints that trigger the feature.
  2. Trace Dependencies: Identify the internal modules, services, or external APIs the feature relies on.
  3. Analyze Data Flow: Understand how data enters the feature, how it's transformed, and where it's stored or returned.
  4. Draft Explanation: Structure the explanation using the mandatory sections below.
  5. Verify: Cross-reference the draft with the references/checklist.md to ensure completeness.

Mandatory Output Structure

1. Feature Summary

A high-level overview (1-2 paragraphs) explaining what the feature does and why it exists.

2. Deep Dive (Technical Details)

A detailed breakdown of the internal implementation.

  • Key Components: List the main files/classes/functions involved.
  • Logic Flow: Step-by-step description of the execution path.
  • State Changes: Describe any side effects (e.g., database updates, cache invalidation).

3. Usage & Examples

Code snippets or CLI commands showing how to use the feature.

  • Include common parameters and expected outputs.
  • Provide a "Happy Path" example.

Guidelines

  • Be Concise: Focus on the "how" and "why" without repeating obvious code logic.
  • Reference Code: Use specific file paths and symbol names.
  • Contextualize: Explain how this feature fits into the broader system architecture.
