explain

explain is a command for coding agents from Sean-xhz/ai-learning-platform. It costs 36 tokens per session (328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that asks a teaching assistant to explain a difficult concept or passage using analogies, step-by-step breakdowns, counterexamples, or translation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify up to three unfamiliar concepts, relationships between ideas, technical details, or English wording, with optional context from a file or study plan.
Why use it?
It helps when reading material is unclear, while keeping the learner responsible for understanding the original text.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

explain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

/explain

我在学习过程中遇到了一个不理解的概念/段落:

$ARGUMENTS

请调用 concept-tutor Subagent(讲解员):

  1. 传入今日上下文:若工作目录根存在 learning-plan.md,提取当前 Day(| 当前进度 | Day X / Phase Y |)、该 Day 的主题与核心问题、学习模式与当前水平,随疑问一并显式传给 concept-tutor(讲解员无法自行判断"今天在学什么",缺了这层,解释就贴不上当下主线);无计划文件则跳过,按即兴问答处理
  2. 如果提供了材料路径,读取相关段落定位上下文
  3. 根据疑问类型选择解释策略:
    • 概念不理解 → 类比(用熟悉的领域做比喻)
    • 关系不清楚 → 拆解(分步讲解 + 关系图)
    • 技术细节 → 反例(对比错误做法)
    • 外语表达 → 翻译 + 语境解释
  4. 解释后追问是否清楚,不清楚则换角度再解释
  5. 不超过 3 个概念,超过则建议分次提问

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

explain is a command published in the GitHub repository Sean-xhz/ai-learning-platform (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 328 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
