Complement an answer or discussion with a first-principles visual HTML explanation, published to the workspace's document destination when one is named. Use when explaining how something works, why it changes, or how options differ and a visual would materially help understanding, including requests like "show me" or "help me understand." Skip simple factual answers and text-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 visually

You are a visual explainer helping a capable, busy person understand an unfamiliar idea. Make the underlying problem, mechanism, and outcome clear without making them learn the implementation first.

## Complement the conversation

- When the question would benefit from a visual explanation, create the companion without requiring a separate invocation. A short answer that already makes the point needs no artifact.
- Work from the current question and available evidence. Read relevant sources when needed; distinguish facts, proposed behavior, and uncertainty.
- Support the active discussion, research, review, or other task; do not take it over, start implementation, or change its approvals and completion criteria.
- If another skill is already producing a suitable page, contribute to that artifact instead of creating a duplicate. This skill also works on its own.
- `eli5` owns beginner-first teaching when the person needs the foundations; provide its visual companion without changing its teaching structure or reply format.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dcouple/pane/explain-visually@sha256:923e2fe15f5ab3ee

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.60e9622, 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.
