High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Invoke the explain skill with the topic as its argument. It delegates the investigation to an isolated subagent, which writes a layered explainer doc to the topic's scratch directory and returns a compact brief with the doc path and verification counts.
Pass the path to an existing explainer doc as the skill's argument. It walks the doc one layer per turn with an explicit checkpoint after each layer, letting you continue, ask questions, challenge claims, or skip ahead.
The session stops asserting and designs a discriminating experiment whose outcome differs between the doc's claim and yours, then runs it live. If the evidence contradicts the doc, the doc is corrected and the walk continues from the corrected ground.
No. The skill never reads or writes the issue tracker at any point. The session is about your understanding, not the project record, so nothing from it lands on a ticket.
Avoid it when you only need a quick factual answer rather than deep understanding, since the format is one layer per turn with checkpoints. It is designed for gnarly topics that warrant a verified doc and a decision at the end.
