explain-simply
From the author
Explain anything in plain language — a contract clause, a medical term, a tax rule, a tech acronym, a news story — layered from a one-liner to as much depth as you want. Use when asked to explain like I'm 5, explain this simply, break this down in plain English, or what does this even mean. Produces the one-sentence version, a plain-language explanation with a concrete analogy, the 'why it matters to you,' and an honest note on anything genuinely uncertain or oversimplified.
