Comprehend

If you can't explain it, you can't debug it.

Copy-paste without comprehension is the most common anti-pattern for AI-assisted coding. This skill ensures you understand code before using it.

When to Use

Run /comprehend when:

• You receive AI-generated code (from Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.)
• You're about to copy-paste from Stack Overflow
• You're using code from a tutorial or blog post
• Code "works" but you don't know why
• You're modifying code you didn't write
• You feel uncertain about what code does
