eli5

Explain like I'm someone who knows nothing about this topic, using a HTML artifact with big pictures and few words.

Invoke the design skill for visual direction, then create the artifact — the purpose is comprehension, the genre a quick visual explainer. Where that skill is unavailable, keep the contrast readable and nothing load-bearing behind interaction.

Ships withmanifest-dev

Skills for agentic coding CLIs. They keep three things in your project instead of in your head: what it's becoming, what's worth doing next, and what done means here. The agent reads them, works against them, and checks the result before reporting it finished.
