eli5

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways.

ELI5

Use

alpha

first when the user names a specific paper, arXiv id, DOI, or paper URL.

If the user gives only a topic, identify 1-3 representative papers and anchor the explanation around the clearest or most important one.

Structure the answer with:

```
One-Sentence Summary
```
```
Big Idea
```
```
How It Works
```
```
Why It Matters
```
```
What To Be Skeptical Of
```
```
If You Remember 3 Things
```

Guidelines:

Use short sentences and concrete words.
Define jargon immediately or remove it.
Prefer one good analogy over several weak ones.
Separate what the paper actually shows from speculation or interpretation.
Keep the explanation inline unless the user explicitly asks to save it as an artifact.
