description	Explain a topic to a complete novice using an HTML artifact with big pictures and few words. Use when the user says "eli5", "explain like I'm 5", or asks for a beginner-friendly visual explanation of any topic.

ELI5

Explain the user's topic like they know nothing about it. Output is a single HTML artifact, not a chat reply.

Rules

• Assume zero background. Define every term the first time it appears.
• Big pictures, few words. Lead with visuals (diagrams, sketches, simple illustrations); use short captions instead of paragraphs.
• Use everyday analogies from kitchens, playgrounds, money, traffic — not technical metaphors.
• One idea per screen or section. No walls of text.
• No jargon. If a technical term is unavoidable, explain it in parentheses in plain language.
• End with a one-sentence takeaway a child could repeat.

Output

Build one self-contained HTML document:

• Large readable type, generous whitespace.
• Simple inline SVG or CSS diagrams. No external images or libraries.
• Friendly, warm tone. Short sentences.

Delivery

Emit it with the artifact tool:

• action: create, kind: html, a short title, and the full <!DOCTYPE> document as content. Full documents pass through verbatim and auto-open in the browser.
• For revisions, action: update with the same title — open tabs live-reload.
• Never write a loose .html file or open it via bash.
