explain-plainly skillA

explain-plainly is agent-read markdown (skill) from aethrox/doctrine: Default to explaining technical work in plain language for a non-technical audience, using an existing project glossary only when a persistent document is already in scope. Use whenever an explanation is aimed at someone outside the technical team, or whenever jargon would otherwise go unexplained. Distinct from wait-what, which is a recovery move after an explanation already failed, not a default posture..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add aethrox/doctrine/explain-plainly@git:20260809.2a45dbb
Exact content
mdr add aethrox/doctrine/explain-plainly@sha256:691190484c7a237f

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
