ELI5 Save — Export Session Explanations
Save every eli5-mode explanation from this session to eli5-notes.md.
Steps
-
Review the full conversation history for this session.
-
Identify every response where you gave an eli5-mode explanation.
Collect: the topic/question, the level used, the explanation text.
-
Check if eli5-notes.md already exists:
test -f eli5-notes.md && echo "exists" || echo "new"
-
Write (or append) to eli5-notes.md using this format:
---
saved: [current date and time]
session: [number of explanations in this batch]
---
## [Topic or question]
**Level:** [eli5 / eli-kid / eli-teen / eli-adult / eli-expert]
[The explanation, cleaned up if needed but faithful to what was given]
---
If the file already exists, append below the last --- separator.
If new, create with a header:
# ELI5 Notes
Plain-language explanations saved from Claude Code sessions.
-
After writing, confirm:
"Saved [N] explanation(s) to eli5-notes.md."
If in eli5 mode: give that confirmation at the current level's style.
Edge cases
- If no eli5 explanations were given in this session: say so and don't create a file.
- If the user specifies a filename: use that instead of
eli5-notes.md.
- Strip any code blocks or shell commands from explanations — save only the human-readable text.
