Explain
Explain content or any concept inside it at the depth the user needs — ELI5, practitioner level, or expert deep-dive — with a jargon glossary and context the original assumes. Use when the user says "explain this", "what does X mean here", "break this down", "I don't understand this part", or shares content and asks how something in it works.

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.

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
Rules
- Explaining ≠ endorsing. If the content's claim is contested, present the explanation and note the contest ("the video asserts X; the standard view is Y").
- Analogies must survive scrutiny — say where the analogy breaks.
- If the user points at a specific segment ("the part at 12:30", "section 3"), explain that segment in the context of the whole, not in isolation.
- Don't pad: a concept that takes three sentences gets three sentences.
