ELI5 Status
Report the current eli5 communication mode.
Steps
-
Check the state file:
cat .claude/eli5-state.json 2>/dev/null || echo "none"
-
Format the response based on the output:
If state file exists:
eli5-mode ● active
Level [label from state file, e.g. "15-year-old"]
Command [level from state file, e.g. /eli-teen]
Then add one sentence in the current level's style confirming mode is active.
If no state file or "none":
eli5-mode ○ inactive
Level —
Then one normal sentence: "No eli5 mode active. Say 'eli5' or use /eli5, /eli-kid,
/eli-teen, /eli-adult, or /eli-expert to activate."
If expert level is active, also check for saved field:
cat .claude/eli5-expert-field 2>/dev/null || echo ""
If found, include: Field [saved field]
Note
Report only — do not change the current mode.
