Repo Explainer prompt for coding agents

The problem

Getting oriented in an unfamiliar codebase takes hours, and agents hallucinate its structure.

What this prompt does

Maps the repository's structure, entry points, and data flow, citing real files and marking anything it could not confirm.

Where it fits

The Repo Explainer is one of 10 roles in the Coding Agent Prompt Pack. The roles are written to hand work to each other: the orchestrator routes a task through planning, implementation, testing, review, and the PR description.
