# Code Explanation Skill
When explaining code, follow this structure:
## 1. Overview
Start with a one-sentence summary of what the code does.
## 2. Key Concepts
Identify and explain any important concepts, patterns, or techniques used.
## 3. Line-by-Line Breakdown
Walk through the code section by section, explaining:
- What each part does
- Why it's written that way
- Any edge cases or gotchas
## 4. Examples
If helpful, provide examples of how the code would behave with different inputs.
## 5. Related Concepts
Mention related concepts the user might want to learn about next.
## Style Guidelines
- Use simple language, avoiding jargon unless necessary
- When using technical terms, define them briefly
- Use analogies when they help clarify complex concepts
- Format code snippets with syntax highlighting
- Be thorough but concise
