# Explain Complex Code > Relies on BDK foundation (STARTUP_INSTRUCTIONS.md) for project context and MCP tool preference. Generate architecture docs for complex code with visual diagrams and examples. ## Workflow ### 1. Understand Scope `path` arg specifies code to explain. Clarify: - **Focus areas**: Architecture, algorithms, data flow, testing strategy - **Audience level**: Team onboarding, external docs, debugging guide ### 2. Analyze Code Structure **Step 2.1: Initial Discovery** !`python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/inject.py --chain ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/fragments/tool-tiers/explore.chain.json` Using the exploration tools above: find all symbols, identify high-dependency symbols, use community grouping to determine subagent partitioning where available. **Step 2.2: Map Dependencies** For each key class/function: `query_graph(pattern="callers_of", node=<symbol>)` and `query_graph(pattern="callees_of", node=<symbol>)`. Fall back to Serena `find_referencing_symbols` if graph unavailable. **Step 2.3: Decide Partitioning Strategy** When graph communities are available, use community boundaries as partitioning units — one community per subagent. Otherwise fall back to file-count rules: | Files Count | Strategy | Subagent Count | |-------------|----------|----------------| | 1-2 files | One subagent for entire module | 1 subagent | | 3-5 files | Group into 1-2 logical blocks | 1-2 subagents | | 6-10 files | Group into 2-3 logical blocks | 2-3 subagents | | 10+ fi
