Codebase to Course

A Claude Code skill that turns any codebase into a beautiful, interactive single-page HTML course.

Point it at a repo. Get back a stunning, self-contained course that teaches how the code works — with scroll-based navigation, animated visualizations, embedded quizzes, and code-with-plain-English side-by-side translations.

Who is this for?

**"Vibe coders"** — people who build software by instructing AI coding tools in natural language, without a traditional CS education.

You've built something (or found something cool on GitHub). It works. But you don't really understand *how* it works under the hood. This skill generates a course that teaches you — not by lecturing, but by tracing what happens when you actually use the app.

**Your goals are practical, not academic:**

• Steer AI coding tools better (make smarter architectural decisions)
• Detect when AI is wrong (spot hallucinations, catch bad patterns)
• Debug when AI gets stuck (break out of bug loops)
• Talk to engineers without feeling lost

You're not trying to become a software engineer. You want coding as a superpower.

What the course looks like

The output is a **single HTML file** — no dependencies, no setup, works offline. It includes:

• **Scroll-based modules** with progress tracking and keyboard navigation

• **Code ↔ Plain English translations** — real code on the left, what it means on the right

• **Animated visualizations** — data flow animations, group chat between components, architecture diagrams

• **Interactive quizzes** that test *application* not memorization ("You want to add favorites — which files change?")

• **Glossary tooltips** — hover any technical term for a plain-English definition

• **Warm, distinctive design** — not the typical purple-gradient AI look

How to use

As a Claude Code skill
