## What eli5 does, in the publisher's words

Explain any topic like I'm 5.

Produces an in-chat explainer with big visuals and very few words for someone who knows nothing about the topic.

Ported for Codex from Anthropic's eli5 plugin, authored by Thariq Shihipar.

From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized. Full text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/letsrokk/agent-plugins/HEAD/plugins/eli5/README.md
