Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by LearnPrompt on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Eli5 AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/LearnPrompt/laoyeye/tree/main/skills/learning/eli5
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/LearnPrompt/laoyeye.git /tmp/laoyeye
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/laoyeye/skills/learning/eli5 .claude/skills/eli5

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Eli5 in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Eli5 on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Eli5 is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

大图小字讲解法

苏乐在 X 上转述的 Anthropic 内部 Skill，名字就叫 eli5（explain like I'm 5）。核心只有一句话：把用户当成对这个主题一无所知的人，生成一个 HTML artifact，图占大头，字尽量少。

适合想快速看懂一个陌生主题、又不想啃长篇文字时使用。原帖全文经 fxtwitter 镜像核对过，提示语本身就是这一句英文，作者附的中文版写在下面「作者附的中文版」一节。

怎么用

下面代码块里的提示语是原文，逐字使用。代码块里的「我」指用户，「请你」「你」指你自己，照它做事，不要把填好的提示语打给用户看。

用户要你执行：直接按提示语里的角色和流程走。它说先别给建议就先别给，说一次只问一个问题就一次只问一个，说按顺序输出就按那个顺序输出。
用户要原文（明确说要复制、要粘贴、发我原文、给我提示语这类话才算）：把整段原样打出来，一个字不改。用户只是说「看看这条提示语」「这条是干嘛的」，不算要原文，用一两句说清它干什么、什么时候用，再问要不要现在跑，别直接倒原文。
除了明确要原文的情况，其余一律当执行处理。

禁止改写、精简、扩写、翻译、重排、加小标题，禁止把它替换成你自己的流程，也禁止把多轮追问压缩成一次性问卷。用户手上有原始材料（文档、截图、链接、聊天记录）就一并读进来，上下文多不是问题。

作者附的中文版

苏乐原帖里跟着英文提示语附了一句中文版：

「把我当成一个完全不懂这个主题的人，用大图 + 少量文字的 HTML 页面，把这件事解释清楚」

这是苏乐自己的翻译，不是提示语原文的一部分，不进代码块。

跑完接哪条

页面看完想往深挖，用 Skill 工具唤起 two-layer-explain；想系统研究整个领域，用 Skill 工具唤起 horizontal-vertical-analysis。

markdown
Explain like I'm someone who knows nothing about this topic, using a HTML artifact with big pictures and few words.

提示语原文来自苏乐（X），出处见仓库 README 的致谢。改动这段原文要走 scripts/sync.py，手改会被 verify 拦下。

Frequently asked questions

What does the Eli5 AI skill do?

Why use Eli5 on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Eli5 is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Eli5 in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/LearnPrompt/laoyeye/tree/main/skills/learning/eli5. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Eli5?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Eli5?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Eli5 with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Eli5 AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by LearnPrompt. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
