Question 1

Why does it process directories in a leaf-first order?

Accepted Answer

Leaf-first processing ensures that documentation for sub-folders is created before the parent folder. This allows the parent directory's documentation to accurately reference and aggregate the purpose of its children.

Question 2

Does this skill modify my existing source code files?

Accepted Answer

No, the decompile skill only reads your source files to analyze them. It only writes new or updated documentation files (CLAUDE.md and IMPLEMENTS.md) and does not touch your implementation logic.

Question 3

How does it handle large codebases without hitting token limits?

Accepted Answer

It uses high-efficiency tools like jq for directory parsing and specialized decompiler agents that return compressed status blocks instead of full file contents, keeping the main AI context lean.

Question 4

Can I verify that the generated documentation is accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once the decompile process is complete, you can use the /validate command provided by the core plugin to check for consistency between the generated documents and the actual code.

Question 5

What files does the decompile skill create?

Accepted Answer

It generates two primary files: CLAUDE.md, which defines the 'WHAT' (purpose, exports, behaviors), and IMPLEMENTS.md, which defines the 'HOW' (algorithms, dependencies, and implementation details).
