A tool that turns one or more information sources into a new article written in simple language. It keeps the main facts and reasoning while using original wording, structure, and examples.

Rewriting articles, combining multiple sources, explaining complex topics, updating outdated information, and adding Mermaid diagrams when useful.

It helps when source material is difficult to read or needs to be combined into a clearer explanation. It also checks whether information is accurate and current before rewriting it.

Per session 236 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

When invoked 5,523 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Security scan A 0 findings. A grade says what 26 rules found in the file — not that it is safe.

Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00236	$0.05523
Opus 5.5	$0.00094	$0.02209
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00047	$0.01105
Haiku 4.5	$0.00024	$0.00552

Measured 2d ago against content hash ab85d31865d3, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

ez-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 2d 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 ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
