Usage: /explain-code PATH_OR_DESCRIPTION

Examples:

  • /explain-code v2/lib/src/components/Button.ts
  • /explain-code the button ripple effect
  • /explain-code design token system

Explain: $ARGUMENTS

Setup:

  1. Read .claude/PROJECT_CONTEXT.md to understand AgnosticUI's architecture

Process:

  1. Locate and read the code:

    • Identify if it's a core component, framework implementation, or utility
    • Read the specified file(s)
    • Use Grep/Glob to find related files if needed:
      • If explaining core component, show framework usage examples
      • If explaining framework story, reference core component
      • If explaining utility, show where it's used
  2. Understand the context:

    • Where does this fit in AgnosticUI's architecture?
    • Is it framework-agnostic or framework-specific?
    • Does it use design tokens or CSS custom properties?
    • Are there related files in other frameworks?
  3. Explain clearly:

    • What it does (high level, user-facing behavior)
    • How it works (key logic, algorithms, patterns)
    • Why it's structured this way (architectural decisions)
    • AgnosticUI-specific context:
      • How it fits the CSS-first approach
      • Framework-agnostic vs framework-specific aspects
      • Design token usage
      • Accessibility considerations
    • Common usage patterns with examples
    • Edge cases or gotchas to be aware of
  4. Provide helpful context:

    • Show where it's used (examples, stories, playgrounds)
    • Note framework differences if applicable
    • Link to related components or utilities
    • Reference relevant playbooks if they exist

Keep explanations:

  • Clear and jargon-free (or explain jargon)
  • Organized from high-level to details
  • Focused on understanding, not just describing
  • Contextualized within AgnosticUI's multi-framework architecture
