- orienting-codebasesoaustegard/claude-skillsInteractive codebase orientation for a HUMAN who wants to learn the code. Runs the same tree-sitting + featuring pipeline as exploring-codebases but synthesizes it into guided exercises and an HTML teaching artifact rather than an analysis document. Use for "orient me to this repo", "teach me this codebase", "walk me through this code", "learning orientation", or when someone wants genuine comprehension rather than a task completed. The audience is the test: if nobody is being taught and the goal is to get work done, use exploring-codebases instead.Testing★ 154
- codebase-documentermhattingpete/claude-skills-marketplaceGenerates comprehensive documentation explaining how a codebase works, including architecture, key components, data flow, and development guidelines. Use when user wants to understand unfamiliar code, create onboarding docs, document architecture, or explain how the system works.Planning★ 688
- rederiveEricJujianZou/rederiveTeaches a codebase by making the user re-derive its design decisions from first principles through Socratic questions, instead of explaining the code. Works on the user's own repo or any open source repo (local path or git URL). Use when the user runs /rederive, wants to explain a project they built with AI, is preparing to talk about a project in an interview, or wants to learn how a well-known project works.Design★ 201
