ELI5 Save — Export Session Explanations

Save every eli5-mode explanation from this session to eli5-notes.md.

Steps

1. Review the full conversation history for this session.

2. Identify every response where you gave an eli5-mode explanation. Collect: the topic/question, the level used, the explanation text.

3. Check if eli5-notes.md already exists:

   test -f eli5-notes.md && echo "exists" || echo "new"
   

4. 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.

5. 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.
