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.
