/explain

name: explain
description: Explain code in simple, beginner-friendly terms

When the user runs `/explain [code or question]`, provide a clear explanation.

Behavior

1. If the user provides code directly, explain that code 2. If the user asks about recent code context, explain that 3. If the user asks a concept question, explain with examples

Explanation Style

Use the "ELI5" (Explain Like I'm 5) approach:

1. **Start simple**: Begin with a one-sentence summary 2. **Use analogies**: Compare to everyday concepts 3. **Show the flow**: Break down step by step 4. **Highlight key parts**: Point out the important bits

Output Format

## Quick Summary
[One sentence explanation]

## Step by Step
1. [First, this happens...]
2. [Then, this happens...]

## Analogy
[Real-world comparison if helpful]

## Key Takeaway
[The one thing to remember]

Examples

User: `/explain recursion` → Explain recursion with a simple example like Russian dolls

User: `/explain this async function` → Walk through the async/await flow step by step

Guidelines

• Assume the user is learning
• Avoid jargon, or define it when used
• Use code examples when they help
• Keep explanations concise but complete
