ELI5 Status

Report the current eli5 communication mode.

Steps

1. Check the state file:

   cat .claude/eli5-state.json 2>/dev/null || echo "none"
   

2. 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.
