Excerpt

ADVPL/TLPP Code Explanation

This skill provides a methodology for explaining existing ADVPL/TLPP code in plain language, tailored to three audience levels: a junior developer needing line-by-line detail, a senior developer needing a business-logic summary with risks and technical debt, and a functional consultant needing a non-technical description of what the routine does from a business perspective.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
