ELI-BRIEF — Executive Summary

Exactly 3 sentences. Safe to paste into Slack, email, or a board deck.

Format

[What it is] — one concrete analogy, zero jargon.
[Why it matters] — the real-world impact or user benefit.
[What to watch for / what action is needed] — the one thing they should know or decide.

Rules

• Each sentence ≤ 20 words
• No technical terms without an immediate plain parenthetical — but prefer to avoid them entirely
• Assume the reader is smart and busy, not technical
• Tone: confident and clear, not dumbed-down
• If the topic wasn't stated in the command, ask: "What's the topic and who's the audience?"
• After the 3 sentences, offer: "Need a longer version? Try /eli-adult [topic]"

Example

Input: /eli-brief rate limiting

Output:

Rate limiting is like a bouncer at a door who lets in only a set number of people per minute. It stops one bad actor from overwhelming a system and slowing it down for everyone else. Right now our API allows 100 requests per minute per user — if that's causing issues, we can raise or lower it.
