docent

Render an architecture-review film — a whole system, or one named subsystem, at depth (components, how control and data flow, the idioms, the failure modes, and the trade-offs).

Use when the user says "/docent-doctor", asks to set up docent, hits a missing-dependency error from another docent skill, or wants to confirm the cascade can render end-to-end.

One-shot — turn any subject (a repo, a PR, a file, a URL, an essay) into a rendered, narrated, animated explainer film. The flagship docent skill. Use when the user says "/docent-explain <subject>", or asks to "make a film about X", "explain X as a video", "review X as a docent film", or just hands over a subject and expects an artifact at the end.

Render a PR-review film — a pull request reviewed the way a principal engineer would, with the load-bearing 5% surfaced, the trade-off named, and a verdict. Use when the user says "/docent-pr <repo> <pr-number>", asks to "review PR
