Explain the code I am about to paste, taking into account:\n\n- My level: [EX: complete beginner \/ I know the basics \/ intermediate]\n- What I want: [EX: to understand what it does \/ why it works \/ to be able to modify it]\n- Context (if you know it): [EX: I got it from a tutorial \/ generated by AI \/ code from work]\n\nRules:\n1. Start with a 1-2 sentence summary: what this code does, in plain English.\n2. Then explain in blocks (not robotic line by line): group the parts that do one thing together and explain the job of each block.\n3. Highlight the key concepts that appear (ex: loop, function, conditional, variable) with a short definition the first time.\n4. Point out 1 thing I could change to experiment and see the effect.\n5. Match the depth to my level \u2014 a beginner does not need performance detail.\n\nFormat of the reply: the summary at the top, the explanation in blocks, a quick glossary of the concepts and one suggested experiment.\n\n[PASTE THE CODE HERE]","_como_usar":"Paste your code where indicated, fill in your level and send it in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini (for large files, paste it in parts or attach it). Unlike a reviewer hunting for bugs, this prompt TEACHES: it explains in blocks, defines the concepts and suggests an experiment to make it stick.\n\nUse it when you pick up code from a tutorial, a snippet generated by AI that you did not understand, or even code from work to get your bearings. Then ask \"what if I change X?\" \u2014 modifying it and seeing the effect is what fixes the learning. It pairs with \"Learn to Code from Scratch\".","_views":17,"_likes":0,"_nota_sum":0,"_nota_count":0,"_nota_avg":0,"_nota_weight":0,"_i18n_grupo":397},"macro":[3],"subcategoria":[1329],"prompt_tag":[1341,34,1338],"ferramenta":[13,14,15],"class_list":["post-1339","prompt","type-prompt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","macro-text","subcategoria-programming","prompt_tag-code","prompt_tag-explanation","prompt_tag-programming","ferramenta-chatgpt","ferramenta-claude","ferramenta-gemini"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt\/1339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prompt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"macro","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/macro?post=1339"},{"taxonomy":"subcategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subcategoria?post=1339"},{"taxonomy":"prompt_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prompt_tag?post=1339"},{"taxonomy":"ferramenta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prompteiro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ferramenta?post=1339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
