# eli5 output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways. Use when the user says "ELI5 this", asks for a simple explanation of a paper or research result, wants jargon removed, or asks what something technically dense actually means..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Decide Fit First / Design Intent / How To Use It” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways. Use when the user says "ELI5 this", asks for a simple explanation of a paper or research result, wants jargon removed, or asks what something technically dense actually means.”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Decide Fit First / Design Intent / How To Use It” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options.The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Decide Fit First / Design Intent / How To Use It”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# eli5
## When to use

- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Decide Fit First / Design Intent / How To Use It” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies.The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.

input -> user goal + target files + boundaries + acceptance criteria
context -> Decide Fit First / Design Intent / How To Use It
rules -> SKILL.md triggers / order / output contract
runtime -> no special runtime | read files, write/modify files | mostly runs locally
guardrails -> usually needs no extra API key + small-sample validation + diff/log review
output -> copyable result + checklist + next iteration
}ELI5
Use alpha first when the user names a specific paper, arXiv id, DOI, or paper URL.
If the user gives only a topic, identify 1-3 representative papers and anchor the explanation around the clearest or most important one.
Structure the answer with:
One-Sentence SummaryBig IdeaHow It WorksWhy It MattersWhat To Be Skeptical OfIf You Remember 3 Things
Guidelines:
- Use short sentences and concrete words.
- Define jargon immediately or remove it.
- Prefer one good analogy over several weak ones.
- Separate what the paper actually shows from speculation or interpretation.
- Keep the explanation inline unless the user explicitly asks to save it as an artifact.
