Explain any topic, code, concept or error message at the exact level the listener can absorb — adapting vocabulary, analogy, tone, depth and framing to who is listening. Use this skill whenever the user says 'ELI5', 'explain like I am 5', 'explain this to my manager', 'break this down for a 5th grader', 'dumb it down', 'simplify this for a designer', '解釋給我媽聽', '講給五歲小孩聽', '用白話講', '講人話', '這個要怎麼跟老闆講', '幫我解釋給客戶聽', '講給學員聽', or asks to explain something to a named person or audience type.

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

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/peter-tu-zynkr/zynkr-skill-builder --skill eli5
```

Explain anything to anyone, at the level they can actually absorb. Give it a topic — a concept, a file of code, an error message, a contract clause — plus a hint about who is listening, and it re-pitches the explanation for that person: the words they know, an analogy from their world, the depth they want, and the reason they should care. It is for the moment when you understand something perfectly and still cannot get it across: to a client's non-technical window person, to a 學員 three lessons behind, to a 老闆 who only wants the cost and the risk, or to your mother.

The difference from asking a model to "explain simply" is that simply is not one setting. A five-year-old and a busy 老闆 both need short — but the child needs a story and the 老闆 needs a number. This skill picks which kind of short.

---

## Step 1 — Identify the audience

Read the request for who is listening. Match it to one row below. **If no audience is named, default to age 5** — that is the classic ELI5 reading and it is what a bare "ELI5 this" means.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add peter-tu-zynkr/zynkr-skill-builder/eli5@sha256:f9509477feb6400f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.2429d96, 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.
