explain
Make the content understandable without dumbing it down dishonestly.
Workflow
- Get the text (via
fetch-contentskill script if it's a URL, else web fetch or paste). - Pick the depth — from the user's request, or ask one short question if genuinely unclear:
- ELI5 — analogies, zero jargon, the core mechanism only
- Practitioner — assumes general technical literacy, focuses on how it works and what to do with it
- Deep dive — mechanisms, edge cases, history, competing views
- Explain, structured as:
- The one-sentence version first
- The mechanism: how it actually works, step by step
- Glossary: every jargon term the content uses without defining, one line each
- What the content assumes you know — the missing prerequisites that made it confusing
- Where the content's own explanation is wrong or oversimplified, if it is — flag it, don't repeat it
