Skill183 starsChanged 59 days agoMITView on GitHub
Use when the user asks to explain what a piece of ADVPL/TLPP code does in plain language, adapting the explanation depth for a junior developer (line-by-line), a senior developer (business logic, design decisions, risks), or a functional consultant (no technical terms) -- e.g. understanding legacy code, filling in missing documentation, or assessing the impact of a customization. Also triggers on Portuguese phrasing like "explicar fonte", "explicar codigo", "o que essa rotina faz", "explicar para o consultor funcional", or requests for a --level junior/senior/funcional explanation.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

ADVPL/TLPP Code Explanation
This skill provides a methodology for explaining existing ADVPL/TLPP code in plain language, tailored to three audience levels: a junior developer needing line-by-line detail, a senior developer needing a business-logic summary with risks and technical debt, and a functional consultant needing a non-technical description of what the routine does from a business perspective.
Activate this skill when the user wants an existing routine, function, or snippet explained -- e.g. onboarding a new developer, understanding legacy code with no documentation, or briefing a functional consultant on a customization. It reads the target code, determines the requested (or asked) explanation level, and structures the output accordingly, optionally pulling in native-function meanings, business-process context, or SQL details as needed.
It does not cover generating formal documentation artifacts like Protheus.doc headers or full routine specs (see documentation-patterns), looking up native function syntax in isolation (see protheus-reference), or explaining embedded SQL macro semantics in depth (see embedded-sql).
