eli5

eli5 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor from Kanevry/session-orchestrator. It costs 66 tokens per session (148 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plain-language explanation mode for restating a previous answer or a named topic. It aims to keep all the facts while making the wording easier for a very young reader to understand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with /eli5 followed by a topic, or after saying that an earlier answer was unclear or too technical.
Why use it?
It helps when an answer is too technical, too long, or unclear. The explanation can clarify what needs to be done without leaving out information.

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

eli5 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.

Read that file and follow it exactly. Resolve relative links against skills/eli5/, not this wrapper.

Cursor has no Skill tool. Treat "invoke the eli5 skill" as: Read skills/eli5/SKILL.md.

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.
