Posts about this repo
Been thinking about this idea a lot. If Claude can explain something, why do I still have to read a wall of docs? So I made a small Claude Code mod that turns the concepts into something I can actually explore. https://github.com/Sumit189/explain-claude-mod You can interact with it instead of just reading about how things work. I think this is where AI gets really interesting. We can ask it to build the thing that helps us understand the thing.
