ELI5 — Explain Like I'm 5

Turn any complex topic into something a child could understand.

Why it exists

Most explanations are written for people who already halfway know the answer. They hand-wave the hard parts, use words that need the explanation itself to make sense, and leave you more lost than before.

ELI5 is different. It forces a clean picture — one familiar analogy, a few short steps, and one concrete example.

How ELI5 works (technical)

ELI5 works by loading SKILL.md into the conversation context. When you type /eli5 <concept>, OpenClaw matches the description and injects the skill's rules into the model.

The model reads the rules and examples, then generates an explanation following the same pattern.

Switching models: Works as long as the model can follow contextual instructions. If a model ignores rules in context, results may vary.
