eli5
Explain unfamiliar mechanisms in plain language; create or maintain self-contained HTML learning pages with visual models, quizzes, explain-back checks, flashcards, and optional interaction; or produce a decision brief when the user must choose among options. Use for ELI5 or visual explanations, durable learning pages, quizzes, review of earlier concepts, and decision briefs. Give single facts and ordinary quick explanations inline without files. A named audience alone does not imply a decision brief.
eli5
Explain a concept, error, or piece of code in dead-simple terms, by default as if to a 5 year old, or matching a specific audience/expertise level the user names. Use when the user says "ELI5", "explain like I'm 5", "explain like I am/to <someone>", "I don't understand this", "break this down for me", "dumb this down", "explain this simply", asks to explain code or a concept they don't understand, asks for an explanation written as if they already have expertise in the topic, or asks to go deeper or simpler on an explanation just given.
eli40
Re-explains concepts at a "knows the basics" level — strips jargon, uses analogies, and assumes broad general knowledge without domain expertise. Use when the user invokes /eli40 to request a simpler explanation of the previous message, or /eli40 <topic> to get an accessible explanation of a specific topic. Like ELI5 but calibrated for an adult generalist.
