Explainers

526 rows from 304 repositories

Having something explained at the level you are actually at.

What Explainers skills agree on

278 skill files read, by 274 of the 289 authors on this shelf whose files we hold, 2026-09-06

The middle one of the 32 measured here is 946 tokens long, counted with cl100k_base

Counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Where a claim sits in fewer files than authors, that is said: a claim held by forty authors across three files is one file people copied, not forty people who agreed. Near-identical wordings are grouped and the other wordings are shown, so the grouping is yours to check.

When Explainers authors say to reach for one

The situations these authors wrote into their own files, counted out of the same 274 authors, with the skills that name each one

How Explainers skills are built

485 skill directories by 279 authors, read from their repositories’ own file trees 2026-08-05

The middle bundle among those shipping files is 2 files, 10.4 KB beside SKILL.md

Counted by distinct author, same as above, so one author publishing forty template copies counts once. SKILL.md itself is not counted as a file, so a single-file skill is one where that file is the whole skill.

The shape

  1. SKILL.md is the whole skill121 of 279 authors, 244 of 485 skills
  2. files ship beside it158 of 279 authors, 241 of 485 skills
  3. executable scripts ship inside32 of 279 authors, 44 of 485 skills
