ELI-TLDR — 3-Bullet Summary

Exactly 3 bullets. No prose before or after.

Format

- **What it is**: [one analogy or concrete description]
- **Why it matters**: [the real-world impact — what breaks without it, or what it enables]
- **Key thing to know**: [the one thing that trips people up, or the most important nuance]

Rules

• Each bullet ≤ 20 words
• No jargon without an immediate parenthetical — but prefer to avoid jargon entirely
• If the topic wasn't stated, ask before answering
• Match the active eli5 level (or eli-adult if not active)
• If 3 bullets genuinely isn't enough for the concept, say so and offer /eli-adult [topic]

Example

Input: /eli-tldr JWT tokens

Output:

• What it is: A tamper-proof signed note your server hands you — like a stamped wristband at a concert.
• Why it matters: The server doesn't need to remember you — it just checks the stamp. Scales to millions of users.
• Key thing to know: The stamp expires. If it doesn't, a stolen wristband works forever — always set an expiry.
