# StoryExplanation

Turns any source (a YouTube video, a URL, a file, pasted text, or "this" for the current conversation) into a narrative explanation in the user's own first-person voice. It explores 5-7 framings, picks the strongest, and outputs in the format you ask for: a 3-part narrative, a links version with inline citations, a 5-line abridged version, or a numbered CSE/CSE5. Each point stands alone, so any one can be lifted straight to social media.

Every intent reads the source the same way. A YouTube URL (contains "youtube.com" or "youtu.be") is fetched with `fabric -y <URL>`, any other URL (starts with http:// or https://) with `fabric -u <URL>`, a file path by reading the file, pasted text as given, and previous output or "this" from the conversation.

Every format has a deterministic check. `bun skills/StoryExplanation/Tools/CheckFormat.ts --format <format> [--lines N] [--words N]` reads the output from stdin or `--file`, exits 0 when it conforms and 1 with one violation per line when it does not; flags and per-format checks are in `Tools/CheckFormat.help.md`. It checks counts, numbering, headers, bullets, labels, periods, link placement and the default cliche list, never voice or fidelity.

| Intent | `--format` | Other flags |
|---|---|---|
| Create | `create` | none |
| CreateWithLinks | `links` | `--lines N` when the request named a length |
| CreateAbridged | `abridged` | none |
| Cse | `cse` | `--lines N`, and `--words N` when the request named a word count |
