What problem does it solve?

This skill helps translate complex technical topics into clear, visual explanations with a robust sourcing workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured explainer format: setup, intuition, and mechanics with embedded citations.
  • Topic selection and web research: deterministically pick recent topics from memory and articles, and extract primary sources.
  • Hero image support: generate a technical illustration via Replicate for the explainer hero image, with a no-image fallback if image generation is unavailable.

Quick Start

Provide a topic to explain and run the explainer to generate a 600-1000 word article with a hero image.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a technical explainer with primary source citations?▼

To write a sourced technical explainer, this skill researches a single core mechanism via web search, extracts primary sources, and generates a 600-1000 word structured markdown article with embedded citations and a hero image.

What is the best way to explain a complex technical mechanism visually?▼

The best way to explain a complex technical mechanism visually is to generate a technical illustration via Replicate for the explainer hero image, which falls back to a no-image format if generation is unavailable.

Can I generate a cited research article for a recent technical topic?▼

Yes, you can generate a cited research article by providing a recent topic, which triggers a deterministic research pipeline to search the web, extract primary sources, and write a structured explanation.

Does the explainer workflow support generating images without an external API?▼

The explainer workflow attempts to generate a technical illustration via Replicate, but includes a no-image fallback if image generation is unavailable, ensuring the markdown article is still produced.

What structure does the generated technical explainer article follow?▼

The generated technical explainer article follows a structured format covering setup, intuition, and mechanics, requiring a frontmatter with name and description, and embedding citations throughout the 600-1000 word writeup.
