Type `/eli5 <topic>` and Claude Code builds a simple HTML page that explains the topic to someone with no background, leaning on large pictures and very little text. It's meant for the moment you've hit a concept you half-understand, like how DNS resolves a name or what a Kalman filter does, and want the core mechanism without the jargon. The skill is short and the source gives no details about how the visuals are generated or how deep the explanations go, so the output quality will depend on the topic and the model's judgment in the moment. It's a quick, low-stakes tool: useful for orientation, less useful when you need precision, and worth checking against real documentation before you rely on any of it.
