Produces an intuitive overview and a detailed technical breakdown for a given file. https://claude.ai/code/session_01BhBiF3EqTSMfFCWNGpx6B8
Apply agentskills.io guidance: use imperative phrasing, cover implicit user intents, and be explicit about when to activate. https://claude.ai/code/session_01BhBiF3EqTSMfFCWNGpx6B8

Summary
This PR introduces a new "explain" skill for code comprehension and establishes infrastructure to deploy skills through Ansible configuration management.
Key Changes
New skill:
explain— A two-part reporting skill that generates both intuitive and technical explanations of code files. Designed to support onboarding, code review, and building context on unfamiliar code.Skills deployment automation — Added
ansible/tasks/skills.ymlto automate linking skill files from the dotfiles repository to the user's.agents/skillsdirectory. The task:Ansible integration — Updated
ansible/dotfiles.ymlto include the new skills deployment tasks in the setup workflow, tagged for selective execution.Skills directory — Created
skills/directory with.gitkeepto establish the skills repository structure.Implementation Details
The explain skill provides structured guidance with two distinct sections:
The Ansible deployment uses symbolic links rather than copying files, allowing skills to be updated in the dotfiles repository and automatically reflected in the user's environment.
