What it does
Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways. Use when the user says "ELI5 this", asks for a simple explanation of a paper or research result, wants jargon removed, or asks what something technically dense actually means.
ELI5
Use Feynman's alpha tools first when the user names a specific paper, arXiv id, DOI, or paper URL. In shell, call feynman alpha ..., not a bare global alpha binary.
If the user gives only a topic, identify 1-3 representative papers and anchor the explanation around the clearest or most important one.
Structure the answer with:
One-Sentence SummaryBig IdeaHow It WorksWhy It MattersWhat To Be Skeptical OfIf You Remember 3 Things
Guidelines:
- Use short sentences and concrete words.
- Define jargon immediately or remove it.
- Prefer one good analogy over several weak ones.
- Separate what the paper actually shows from speculation or interpretation.
- Keep the explanation inline unless the user explicitly asks to save it as an artifact.
