Explain this code
Get a step-by-step explanation of unfamiliar code at your level, with the reasoning behind it — not a rewrite.
▍AI Prompts
Reusable prompts for coding assistants — written to get explanations and reviewable changes, not magic.
WANCode does not call any AI service. Copy the prompt into the assistant you already use.
Fill in the blanks. The prompt is assembled locally in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
I'm a beginner working with JavaScript + React. Task: Explain what this code does. Explain it step by step. Rules: - Use plain language and define technical terms the first time you use them. - State your assumptions. If something is missing, ask me before guessing. - If you suggest changes, show small, reviewable changes (a diff or code block) and explain why. - Tell me how to verify that it works (a test or manual steps). Code / error: ``` [paste your code or error message here] ```

Get a step-by-step explanation of unfamiliar code at your level, with the reasoning behind it — not a rewrite.
Turn an error message into a ranked list of likely causes, the smallest fix, and a way to prove it's fixed.
Make working code easier to read and change — in small, reviewable steps that keep behaviour exactly the same.
Get a clear list of test cases (including edge cases) and readable tests for a function or component — without changing the code under test.
Get a map of an unfamiliar codebase: the main parts, how data flows between them, and where to start reading.
Get one focused, accessible React component with a usage example and an explanation of the key decisions.
Find accessibility problems in a piece of UI, understand who they affect, and get minimal fixes plus a manual test checklist.
Understand what each TypeScript error actually means and fix it without throwing away type safety.
Understand what each package in your project is for, spot ones you may not need, and get commands to check for outdated or vulnerable versions yourself.
Break a feature into small, testable steps with clear assumptions, risks and a definition of done — before writing code.
Get a structured code review of a change: does it do what it claims, what could break, and what tests are missing.
Turn a rough idea into a short, testable spec: problem, users, requirements, acceptance criteria and what's out of scope.
