Adds clear, accurate inline comments and API doc blocks to existing code without changing behavior. Generates docstrings and structured comments (JSDoc, Google/NumPy style, Javadoc, Rustdoc) that explain intent, parameters, return values, side effects, and edge cases, while avoiding noisy comments that merely restate the code.
Explains complex code in plain language at the requested level of detail. Breaks down algorithms, design patterns, and architecture decisions. Adapts explanation depth from high-level overview to line-by-line walkthrough based on audience.
Builds, explains, and tests regular expressions from natural language descriptions. Supports multiple regex flavors (PCRE, JavaScript, Python, Go). Provides step-by-step breakdowns, test cases, and performance considerations for complex patterns.
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
