# Logic-Lens — Execution Explain ## When to Use Use this skill when you need explain what a specific piece of code actually does for a given input by producing a step-by-step execution trace (interprocedural, with name resolution and type transitions). Trigger when the user is confused about behavior or asks why code produces X instead of Y — "walk me through... ## Setup Use lazy loading per `../_shared/common.md` §13: 1. Read `../_shared/common.md` only for language, report header variants, scope routing, and loading budget. 2. Read only the relevant step in `logic-explain-guide.md` as you reach it. 3. Load `../_shared/semiformal-guide.md`, `../_shared/semiformal-checklist.md`, and `../_shared/report-template.md` on demand when the current step needs them. Note: `logic-risks.md` is intentionally skipped — logic-explain does not produce L-code findings, and Remedy is intentionally out of scope for this mode. If the trace reveals a bug, stop and recommend logic-review or logic-locate. When handing off, do not discard work already done — present the premises established and trace steps completed under a **"Partial trace context (carry into next skill):"** heading so the user can pass

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill logic-explain --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
