Explain Clearly

SkillUtilitiesClaudeCodex

Get short, clear explanations from your agent. Understand what changed, why, and what you need to do next, without reading through lengthy responses.

A laptop window in two halves: on the left, long grey lines with red wavy marks; an arrow points to the right half, which has short lines under green headings, each with a green check. A speech bubble beside the laptop holds short lines.

Tired of reading a novel every time your agent updates you? Explain Clearly helps your agent get straight to the point with short, simple explanations organized into a clear outline:

  • A summary
  • What changed and why
  • Test results
  • Problems or risks
  • Next steps

The skill guides your agent to use plain language, short sentences, and consistent terminology, making explanations easier to read, understand, and translate without losing important technical details.

Features

  • Get straight to the point. Your agent explains its work in short, clear sentences without unnecessary details.
  • Find what matters quickly. A consistent outline makes it easy to see what changed, why, what was tested, and what's next.

  • Make explanations easier to share. Simple language and consistent terminology make answers easier to understand and translate.
  • Keep technical details accurate. Get simpler explanations without losing important technical information.
  • Explain anything. Ask your agent to clarify code changes, design decisions, errors, or risks.

FAQs

Does it work with Codex or other agents?

Explain Clearly is built and tested for Claude Code and Codex. Since it's a simple skill, it should also work with other coding agents that support skills, though you may need to adjust the instructions to fit your agent's environment.

Can I change the structure of the output?

Yes! You can change the headings, rearrange their order, adjust the writing rules, or add your own instructions and examples. Make the skill fit the way you want your agent to communicate.
