Explainify

Turn a topic, URL, pasted text, or UTF-8 .md/.txt file into an accurate, audience-appropriate explanation in one of two v0.1 formats: STE-inspired writing, or a short silent explainer video that teaches one mechanism or takeaway. Preserve factual meaning, uncertainty, and source attribution ahead of style, and identify what is omitted. Run the five steps in order — each gates the next. Skill-local references and scripts resolve relative to this SKILL.md; user input and output paths resolve relative to the user's working directory.

Step 1 — Resolve the source

Normalize the request into conceptual fields — source_kind, source, format, audience, learning_objective, output_dir, retain_brief, refresh_sources. These are request fields, not a CLI. Default audience: a curious reader unfamiliar with the concept. If the input kind is unclear, resolve it from context or ask one focused question. For URLs, use your available web retrieval capability.
