Explain this – agent skills to create HTML explainer for topics or code
Over the last few months, I have frequently created HTML explainers using coding agents when trying to understand new topics or exploring codebases. Nothing fancu but the approach has been helpful. Some examples are here: https://www.akashtandon.in/interactive-explainers. After being asked by a couple of friends to share the workflow, I decided to create a skill plugin for the same. Hopefully, this will be useful. Feel free to build on top of it or share feedback!

What it does
An agentic skills framework for creating interactive HTML explainers for a topic, documents or codebase - analyticalmonk/explain-this
An Agent Skills package for creating distill-style interactive explainers - single self-contained index.html pages with a sticky two-column layout, hand-built Canvas figures, and conversational prose, like the explainers at distill.pub . Zero dependencies, no build step. Each skill triggers automatically when you describe the matching goal. You can also invoke fact-checking on its own. Two interactive explainers built with this skill set. Open them and play with the figures - they step, drag, and toggle right in the browser. No API keys, no build tools. The skills use your agent's own file and web tools: research intake needs web search/fetch to be available, and the output is a single…from github.com

I strongly believe that every developer is a teacher and likewise. Every time you are asked to help someone else understand your code, you’ll always be grateful to be able to share your own knowledge with others. Explain Code App is the place you can make this happen! I am eager to hear your thoughts on what I have put together so far. Would love to hear your feedback! Let me know if there are any other features you would like for this site, I’m open for ideas and would love the community feedback. Here is the link: https://www.explaincode.app/

Explain This – AI explanations in a web app instead of chatbot2024 · inlinehelp.com · ▲8"Explain This" was inspired by Github Copilot, where you can get an easy code explanation. So we bring this into a web app for customer support. I believe that chatbots are not it for customer support and that AI has better uses. "Explain This" allows the user to pick any part of web app and get it explained. The explanation is generated on the fly from the knowledge base; no need to have the content prepared; it will figure out the user's context and find the most fitting parts of the text we can then use to generate the content. When implemented it reduces the number of chatbot…
Web-eval-agent – Let the coding agent debug itself2025 · github.com · ▲84Hey HN! We’ve been building an MCP server to help AI-assisted web app developers by using browser agents to test whether changes made by an AI inside an editor actually work. We've been testing it on scenarios like verifying new flows in a UI, or checking that sending a chat request triggers a response. The idea is to let your coding agent both code and evaluate if what it did was correct. Here’s a short demo with Cursor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AoQK-bwR0w When building apps, we found the hardest part of AI-assisted coding isn’t the coding—it’s tedious point-and-click…

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

OpenSEO▲928Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
