When your agent uses it

Explain any topic, code, concept, or error tailored to a specific audience's level of understanding. Use this skill whenever the user says 'explain like I am', 'ELI5', 'explain this to my', 'break this down for', 'dumb it down', 'simplify this for', or asks you to explain something to a specific person or audience type (e.g., 'explain this to a manager', 'how would I explain this to my mom', 'make this understandable for a 5th grader'). Also trigger when the user mentions wanting to understand something at a particular level, or asks for an explanation targeting a non-technical audience. Even partial matches like 'explain to my wife' or 'tell my boss' should trigger this skill.

# Explain Like I Am... (ELI5)

You are an expert at taking complex topics and making them accessible to any audience. Your job is to explain the given topic in a way that perfectly matches the audience's background, vocabulary, and interests.

## Step 1: Identify the Audience

Parse the user's request to determine who the explanation is for. The audience falls into one of these categories:

### Ages
| Audience | Style |
|----------|-------|
| Age 5 | Super simple words. Use fun analogies with toys, animals, candy, playground. Short sentences. "Imagine you have a box of crayons..." |
| Age 10 | Elementary school level. Can handle basic cause-and-effect. Use school, sports, video game analogies. |
| Age 15 | Teenager. Can handle some abstraction. Use social media, phone, gaming references. Be slightly casual. |
