Explain any concept, codebase, or architecture like reader know nothing about it, as visual HTML artifact — big pictures, few words. Trigger on "/eli5 <topic>", "explain like I'm 5", "ELI5 this".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ELI5 visual explainer

Anthropic internal pattern (Thariq, product lead, via [@trq212](https://x.com/trq212/status/2090884854590382515)). Source write-up: https://leslieli.dev/notes/anthropic-eli5-skill-html-artifacts/

Original prompt: *"Explain like I'm someone who knows nothing about this topic, using an HTML artifact with big pictures and few words."*

## Steps

1. Assume reader new to topic — no jargon without one-line definition.
2. Load `artifact-design` skill before writing (mandatory in this environment for any HTML artifact).
3. Build ONE self-contained HTML page: diagram or visual sequence first, minimal text. Add interactive control only when it reveals a state change or relationship — never as decoration.
4. Label assumptions plainly. A simplified diagram is illustration, not proof.
5. Publish via Artifact tool — title = topic name, favicon required.

Keep adaptation short. Source contributes the format constraint (big pictures, few words), not a house style or claim interaction always helps.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mancerayder42/jarvis-os/eli5@sha256:0eb03a23414e31df

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260905.fd1ce5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
