processing the entire current skill:

<step id="STEP 2: Ground Topic" condition="<getopt-option-ground/> is equal `true`">
Use the
ase-meta-searchskill 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> -
<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>
