README (SKILL.md)

ELI5 / TLDR Skill

Rule: After any complex explanation, always offer ELI5 or TLDR.

When to Offer

Offer ELI5/TLDR when:

  • Response exceeds 200 tokens
  • Technical concepts involved
  • Multiple steps or processes explained
  • User might want quick summary

Format

Add at end of response:

---
**Options:**
• [ELI5] — Explain like I'm 5
• [TLDR] — Too long, didn't read  
• [Full] — Keep current explanation

ELI5 Style

  • Simple analogies
  • No jargon
  • Concrete examples
  • "Imagine..." / "Think of it like..."

TLDR Style

  • One sentence summary
  • Key point only
  • Bullet if multiple items

Example

Complex:

Token efficiency is achieved by reducing process narration, eliminating filler words, and presenting only outcomes. This reduces context window usage and improves information density.

ELI5:

Think of it like texting. Don't say "I'm going to the store, then I'll buy milk, then I'll come home." Just say "Getting milk." Short and clear.

TLDR:

Use fewer words. Get to the point.

Activation

Always active. No trigger needed.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do only what it says: offer ELI5/TLDR/Full options after complex replies and makes no external requests or installs. Before installing, decide whether you want this applied automatically or only when requested — the SKILL.md claims 'always active' but the registry does not force that. Ask for or implement clear trigger heuristics (e.g., token threshold, explicit user opt-in) to avoid overuse, and test with varied prompts to ensure it doesn't append options inappropriately.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: elif5-tldr Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle is a purely instructional set for the AI agent to provide simplified summaries (ELI5 or TLDR) after complex responses. It contains no executable code, network activity, or data access, and its instructions in SKILL.md are focused entirely on communication style and accessibility without any malicious intent or prompt-injection risks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions all align: the skill's only behavior is to append simplified options after complex responses. No unrelated env vars, binaries, or installs are requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are limited to when/how to offer ELI5/TLDR and example formats. However the trigger criteria ('technical concepts', 'user might want quick summary') are subjective and give broad discretion to the agent — this can lead to inconsistent or over-eager activation unless the agent implements clear heuristics (token count threshold is concrete).
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files—lowest risk for disk/network persistence or unexpected code execution.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths requested; nothing disproportionate to the stated purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
Registry flags show always: false, but SKILL.md states 'Always active. No trigger needed.' This is a behavioral mismatch (documentation vs registry). While not a security escalation (always:true is not set), the wording implies the skill expects to be applied by default; verify how the agent/platform enforces invocation and whether you want the skill applied automatically.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install elif5-tldr
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /elif5-tldr
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
