ljg-plain

ljg-plain is a skill for Claude Code from lijigang/ljg-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,468 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing method for rewriting material in clear everyday language that a smart 12-year-old could follow. It removes unnecessary structure and keeps the form that best fits the subject.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone asks for a plain-language explanation or says “explain it simply.” It guides word choice, sentence length, examples, honesty, and—when creating notes—the required Org-mode format.
Why use it?
It helps readers understand technical or abstract material without unexplained terms, long sentences, filler, or exaggerated claims.

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

ljg-plain 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 12d 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.

ljg-plain: 白

让人 grok。

不规定怎么写。规定不能怎么写。下限锁死,上限放开。不同主题有不同的最佳写法——类比、故事、问答、递进的例子、一个长场景——由内容决定形式。

格式约束

Org-mode 语法

  • 加粗用 *bold*(单星号),禁止 **bold**
  • 标题层级从 * 开始,不跳级

ASCII Art

所有图表用纯 ASCII 字符。允许:+ - | / \ > < v ^ * = ~ . : # [ ] ( ) _ , ; ! ' " 和空格。禁止 Unicode 绘图符号。

Denote 文件规范

  • 时间戳:date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S
  • 可读时间:date "+%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M"
  • 文件名:{时间戳}--plain-{简短标题}__plain.org
  • 输出目录:~/Documents/notes/

Org 文件头

文件写入后报告路径。

红线(每条必须过,顺序即优先级)

  1. 口语检验 — 最高法则。读出声来,你会这样跟一个聪明的朋友说话吗?不会→改到会。连词不是敌人——"但是""所以"是思维转弯的声音,只砍机械连词("此外""值得注意的是")
  2. 零术语 — 聪明的 12 岁孩子能复述。专业词必须出现时,先用大白话把意思落地,再顺带提术语名
  3. 短词优先 — 能用两个字说的不用四个字。「进行分析」→「看」。大词不让你显得聪明,只让人读得累
  4. 一句一事 — 每句只推进一步。长句拆短
  5. 具体 — 名词看得见,动词有力气。「有人觉得情况不太好」→「张三说项目要黄了」。形容词能砍就砍
  6. 开头给理由 — 第一句话让人想读下一句。不铺垫、不背景、不「自古以来」
  7. 不填充 — 删开场白、拐杖词、夸大象征。每句都在干活
  8. 信任读者 — 跳过软化、辩解、手把手引导。说一遍够了
  9. 诚实 — 想不清楚就说想不清楚。"大概 70%" 比"可能"诚实

工具箱(选用,不必全用)

写的时候可以从这里拿工具,没有哪个是必须的:

  • 类比 — 找结构对得上的日常经验。好类比承重(去掉它文章塌),多层(挖一层还像),自明(不需要解释类比本身)。动词延伸到新对象时检查中文动宾搭配是否自然
  • 好问题 — 找读者的卡点,变成问题。读者被卡住,才想往下读
  • 裂缝 — 模型/类比在哪里不够?那个点往往最值钱。不宣布它,让读者自己感到
  • 画面 — 闭眼能看到的场景。硬造的画面比没有更糟
  • 故事 — 一个具体的人遇到一个具体的问题。读者跟着走
  • 反问入链 — 遇到隐含前提,用问题打开,然后回答它
  • 骨架图 — 概念涉及空间关系时,嵌入 ASCII 图(#+begin_example 块)

执行

1. 获取内容

URL → WebFetch | 文本 → 直接用 | 文件路径 → Read | 概念 → 直接解释 | 书名/论文名 → WebSearch

2. 写

形式自由。从工具箱里选最适合这个主题的方式,也可以不选——如果有更好的写法,用它。

输出是一篇从第一行流到最后一行的连贯文章。全文只有文件标题,正文无子标题。

禁止:

  • 结构标签(* 类比 / * 裂缝 等)
  • 指向写作过程的元评论(「打个比方」「接下来我们讨论」)

3. 过红线

逐条扫红线清单。额外检查:

  • 破公式——否定式排比全文不超过两处,三段式改两项或四项
  • 变节奏——长短句交替,段落结尾多样
  • 杀金句——听起来像可引用的,重写
  • 查跳跃——每步逻辑可追?前句说 A,后句跳到 B→补桥
  • 查译感——动宾搭配中文天然吗?不自然→换动词或换句式

扫完列修改清单(哪句触发什么,改前→改后)。清单不写入文件。

4. 生成 Org 文件

按 Denote 规范获取时间戳,写出文件头 + 正文,存入 ~/Documents/notes/

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.
