Explain
Explain the current HACP Working Object at the user's requested or apparent level with the minimum detail needed for understanding while preserving its claims and caveats. Use when the user invokes explain, asks for an explanation, or passes a result from another deck into EXPLAIN; never add an explanation silently.

Declared compatibility
Compatibility is declared by the source manifest. End-to-end runtime verification is coming, see below.
We're building live execution health for every listing: tool-call success rate, median latency, uptime, and last-checked timestamps, measured, not self-reported. It isn't live yet, so we don't show numbers we can't stand behind.

💡 Think Explain
Use when: A concept, result, action, or blocked outcome needs to become easy to understand. Default binding: The current Working Object, otherwise the latest substantive result or clearly named subject. Accepts: Human-supplied content or any success or blocked HACP result. Defer on pending unless the user asks to explain the proposed action. Effect: Explain the smallest unclear point at the user's requested or apparent level with only the details needed to understand it. Result: A concise explanation that preserves the source object's claims, caveats, and uncertainty. Duration: One agent turn. Limits: Do not invent evidence, change claims, advise, choose a direction, repeat the complete source, add a tutorial about HACP, or use more than one example unless the user asks.
Format
Begin the complete combo trace with > 🎯 **** → 💡 **EXPLAIN** when used alone. Add → 💡 **EXPLAIN** after earlier cards in a combo.
Use Explanation as the only required heading. Add Example only when one short example removes real ambiguity.
