--- name: explaining-code 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: 1. **Start with an analogy**: Compare the code to something from everyday life 2. **Draw a diagram**: Use ASCII art to show the flow, structure, or relationships 3. **Walk through the code**: Explain step-by-step what happens 4. **Highlight a gotcha**: What's a common mistake or misconception? Keep explanations conversational. For complex concepts, use multiple analogies.
