explain-for, write it for one named audience

One explanation cannot serve everyone. This skill makes you name the audience first, verify the facts second, and only then write.

Step 0, check that this is actually an audience request

You reach this skill from its index entry, or, when skills.max_triggered is above its default of 0, from word-overlap against the trigger phrases above. Either route is probabilistic and will sometimes land on a request that merely contains the word "explain". Before entering the skill, confirm the user wants an explanation pitched at somebody. If they just want to know why CI failed, answer that question normally and ignore everything below.

Step 1, resolve the audience

Pick exactly one audience.

Check memory before guessing. Crew carries a persistent user profile, and a request like "explain this to my daughter" or "break this down for Priya" often resolves against something already recorded, an age, a role, an interest. Search memory and lessons for that person and use what is there; guessing an age the profile already contradicts is the most visible way this skill fails.

If nothing resolves and no audience is named, do not silently invent one:

• Explicit smallest-audience phrasing ("dumb it down", "explain like I am") means Age 5. That is the request.
• Anything else with no audience, ask which audience in one line, or state the row you assumed in one clause so the user can correct it.

If the request names someone you cannot classify (a specific colleague, a title absent from the tables), map them onto the nearest row and say which row.
