Explain concepts, comparisons, or code with sourced mechanisms and an adaptive choice of prose, diagrams, interactive exploration, or requested video. Skip execution-only requests.

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

# Explain Clearly

## Explain the requested distinction

Lead with the direct answer. Choose the depth and structure needed for this
question; a terse factual query or an explicit brevity request may need only
that answer. Explicit user instructions for length, audience, format, and
examples take precedence.

Use a concrete example or comparison when it improves understanding.
There is no required example count or fixed sequence of answer layers. Explain
the real mechanism and limits that matter; use analogies only when requested,
and define unavoidable jargon inline. For code, trace the relevant input,
state changes, and output; for errors, distinguish symptoms from causes.

## Choose the Smallest Useful Format

Use prose for a simple conclusion, or a Markdown table for three or more comparable
entities. Add visuals only when they materially help. Do not load a renderer,
probe native apps, or create an artifact for a prose-only answer. Respect
workspace routing and explicit requests for brevity, medium, or application.

Use `$archify` for graphical architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, or
lifecycle maps and `$pretty-mermaid` for explicit Mermaid or compact static
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jialuohu/codex-toolbox/explain-clearly@sha256:eab6ad0cea51bb3a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.abd3b29, 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.
