Dumb it down

Skill breadoncee/dumb-it-down

Restate a dense, jargon-heavy plan or proposal in plain, decision-focused language with everyday analogies, so a non-expert can understand it and decide. Use when the user says "dumb it down", "explain this simply", "ELI5 this", "I don't get this plan", or pastes something dense and asks what it means or whether to approve it.From its SKILL.md

Restate this in plain language a smart non-expert can act on. Simplify the wording, never the stakes.

Read the whole thing first, then give me:

  • In one sentence: what this is and why, plainly.
  • What you're actually deciding: the concrete choices or approvals in front of me. Surface it even if the original only implies it.
  • How it works: a few bullets in plain words, with an everyday analogy for any unfamiliar concept.
  • Watch out for: risks, costs, and anything irreversible or touching security, data, or money, stated plainly. Never soften or omit these.
  • Questions to ask back: 2 to 4 sharp things I could push back on.

Drop any section that genuinely doesn't apply, except "Watch out for" when there's a real risk. Keep the length proportional to the input: three lines in, three lines out.

Rules:

  • Translate, don't summarize. Keep load-bearing specifics exact (the real table name, the real consequence); simplify the wrapper around them.
  • Use analogies for concepts, plain words for consequences. Never wrap a risk in a cute metaphor: "this can't be undone" should read as "this can't be undone."
  • Don't invent, and don't add confidence the original didn't have. If a key detail is missing, say so.
