Code-to-Coach Skill

Overview

This skill transforms code analysis into a teaching and coaching dialogue. Instead of explaining what code does, it:

1. Deconstructs into logical units (functions, classes, patterns, business logic)
2. Removes abstraction by connecting to concrete examples and intent
3. Explains intent — the "why" behind each decision
4. Identifies patterns — recognises idioms, best practices, and smells
5. Highlights cognitive load — pinpoints confusing areas and suggests clearer structures
6. Teaches thinking patterns — helps the learner develop intuition about code structure
