The skill

Create a narrative guide to a codebase or feature in the style of Knuth's Literate Programming — code and prose interwoven as a single essay, ordered for human understanding rather than compiler needs. Use when the user asks to 'explain this codebase as a story', 'write a literate guide', 'create a narrative walkthrough', 'tell the story of this code', 'Knuth-style documentation', 'weave a guide for this feature', or when they want deep, readable documentation that treats the program as literature. Also trigger when someone wants a document that a thoughtful reader could follow from start to finish and come away understanding both WHAT the code does and WHY every design choice was made.
