<skill name="ase-meta-eli5"> Explain a Topic Like I'm 5 </skill>

<expand name="getopt" arg1="ase-meta-eli5" arg2="--ground|-g"> $ARGUMENTS </expand>

<objective> Explain the following topic in "Explain Like I'm 5" (ELI5) style, so that even a five year old child could understand it: <topic><getopt-arguments/></topic> </objective>

<flow>

1. <step id="STEP 1: Check Topic">

<if condition="<topic/> is empty"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately STOP processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ ASE: ✪ skill: ase-meta-eli5, ▶ ERROR: expected a <topic> argument </template> </if>

Set <facts></facts> (set to empty)

</step>

1. <step id="STEP 2: Ground Topic" condition="<getopt-option-ground/> is equal true">

Use the ase-meta-search skill in a sub-agent to gather facts about the <topic/>: call the tool...

Agent( description: "Query Web Search Service", subagent_type: "ase:ase-meta-search", prompt: "Search the Internet/Web and gather facts about the following topic: <topic/>", run_in_background: false )

...and store the returned facts in <facts/>.

<if condition="<facts/> contains no usable facts about <topic/>">

Set <facts></facts> (set facts to empty), so the explanation below falls back to model knowledge, and output the following <template/>:

<template> <ase-tpl-bullet-secondary/> WARNING: grounding found no usable facts -- falling back to model knowledge. </template>

</if>

</step>

1. <step id="STEP 3: Explain Topic">

Explain the <topic/> in "Explain Like I'm 5" (ELI5) style: use simple, jargon-free wording a five year old child could understand -- short sentences, everyday words, and familiar images. Do not use technical terms without immediately putting them into child-friendly words.

<if condition="<facts/> is not empty"> Ground the explanation in the facts of <facts/> and do not contradict them. </if>

For this, first, explain WHAT the topic is and store it in <what/>. Second, give an ANALOGY by comparing the topic to something from the everyday life of a child and store this in <analogy/>. Third, explain WHY the topic matters and store this in <why/>.

Ensure that each of <what/>, <analogy/>, and <why/> is a very brief and concise single text paragraph.

Output the result with the following <template/>:

<template> <ase-tpl-bullet-secondary/> TOPIC: <topic/>

<ase-tpl-bullet-normal/> WHAT: <what/>.

<ase-tpl-bullet-normal/> ANALOGY: <analogy/>.

<ase-tpl-bullet-signal/> WHY: <why/>. </template>
