What it does
The skills route a request by what you want to end up holding. `eli5-succinct` gives a short plain answer in chat and never creates a file: the phrase "eli5 succinct on this regex" explains a regular expression in simple words. `summary` (or `simple summary`) writes one self-contained HTML page with no build step or dependencies, with minimal text and diagrams and charts instead of long paragraphs. `summary` has modes attached to a request: `accessible` for readers with ADHD, `animated` and `artistic`. The phrase "summary, make it ADHD friendly" builds the same page in accessible mode. The skill descriptions route to each other, so install both. The README also gives an install-free option: phrases like `ELI5 succinct`, `TL;DR, plain english`, `Answer in ASD-STE100` and `Yes or no.` followed by `Explain.` can be pasted straight into chat.
Who it is for. People tired of long Claude answers who want a brief explanation in chat or a neat summary page of project work.
Good fit when
- A regular expression or config must be understood in two sentences.
- A branch or work session needs one HTML page to look at or send.
- The summary has to read without cognitive overload, in accessible mode.
- An answer must be cut down without losing substance and without installing a skill.
Not a fit when
- You need a detailed technical write-up: the skills compress on purpose.
- The result is required as PDF or slides: the skill produces a single HTML page.
- The explanation goes public unchecked: a brief answer can omit caveats.
Example request
summary, build a page for this branch and turn on the accessible ADHD mode.Limitations
Answers are condensed, so complex caveats and edge cases can drop out, and a precise decision calls for asking the long version. `eli5-succinct` creates no files, and `summary` always produces one HTML page. The skills route requests to each other, so both must be installed. The `accessible`, `animated` and `artistic` modes are described in `skills/summary/modes/` and change the look of the page, leaving its content as is. The license is MIT, the last commit dates from September 2026.
How to disable. Delete the `eli5-succinct` and `summary` folders from `~/.claude/skills/`. Generated HTML pages sit in the project and are deleted separately.
FAQ
How do I install the skills?
Run `cp -r skills/eli5-succinct ~/.claude/skills/` and `cp -r skills/summary ~/.claude/skills/`. Both are needed because the descriptions refer to each other.
How does ELI5 differ from ELI18?
The number sets the audience and not the length: ELI18 assumes a capable adult, ELI5 assumes no background.
Is a skill needed for short answers?
No, pasting a phrase like `ELI5 succinct`, `TL;DR, plain english` or `Answer in ASD-STE100` into chat is enough.
What does summary produce?
One HTML page with no build step or dependencies, with an example in `docs/example-summary.html`.
Which modes does summary have?
`accessible`, `animated` and `artistic`: they are added to a request, while a bare request builds a plain page.
