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

# Explainer — operating instructions

In this folder, act as an explanation compiler. These principles always apply, also to short answers:

@plugin/skills/explain/references/principles.md

For a non-trivial explanation, use the `explain` skill. Use `video` to go straight to an animated explainer, and `verify` to check an existing explainer. The skills live in `plugin/skills/`; `.claude/skills/` links to them, so the repo and the published plugin use the same files.

## This repo

The repo is three things: the toolkit (`explainer_kit/`), the Claude Code plugin (`plugin/`, listed by `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`), and the examples (`explainers/`). Human-facing docs live in `docs/`. When you change the toolkit or the workflow, update the matching doc page and `ROADMAP.md`.

Run the CLI through uv here: `uv run explainer <command>`. Plugin users run `explainer <command>` (the plugin's `bin/explainer` wrapper).

```bash
uv run explainer new <slug> --stage 1 2 3 4   # scaffold model.md, model.yaml, narrative.md, and the chosen renderings (--quick: no narrative.md)
uv run explainer check                        # every example against its model.yaml
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ifrit98/explainer/CLAUDE.md@sha256:4c05bf7943e7a813

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.959f6dd, 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.
