Technical explanations, published by your agent

Your agent changed the code. Now understand it.

Ask Claude Code or Codex to explain the work in front of it. Splaine turns repository context into a focused, interactive page you can revisit or share.

A simple workflow

From the work to an explanation worth keeping.

Splaine preserves the useful understanding after the chat is gone.

01

Connect your agent

Install Splaine for Claude Code, Codex, or both and create a revocable API token. No repository integration required.

02

Ask from the work

“Explain this branch,” “walk me through this system,” or “show why this bug happened.”

03

Explore the result

Open a structured explanation with source references and a focused interactive model.

Interactive when useful

See the system while you read it.

State machines, request lifecycles, data transformations, and architecture are easier to understand when the explanation responds to you.

  • Step through a failure path
  • Change an input and watch data move
  • Compare old and new behavior

One worker owns the lease

Other workers can observe the job, but only the matching lease token can move it forward.

WHERE lease_token = $worker_token
