Explaining Skill

Version: 1.0 Source: Explaining Things Playbook

Structure before technique. Depth before detail. Context before content.

Scope and Boundaries

This skill covers: Producing clear explanations — classifying requests, choosing structure, scaling depth, and applying relatability tools.

This skill does NOT cover: Writing style or tone for marketing copy, formal academic writing, or persuasive sales. It covers the structure of persuasion (Situational framework) but not copywriting craft.

Relationship to other skills:

• Works alongside documentation (which covers what to document; this covers how to explain it)
• Can be applied inside any domain skill when teaching, onboarding, or communicating concepts
