explaining-codebases
Use when creating an interactive explainer about a codebase, repository, or source files. Handles onboarding overviews, architecture maps, and deep-dives on real implementation paths. Trigger phrases include "explain this codebase", "interactive guide to this repo", "walk through how X works in the code", or "visualize this architecture". Uses creating-explainers for the output format.

fact-checking-explainers
Use to fact-check an explainer against its sources before delivery. Trigger on "fact-check this explainer", "verify the claims", "check this against its sources", research-time source checks, or the post-draft gate.
