eli5	Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways. Use when the user says "ELI5 this", asks for a simple explanation of a paper or research result, wants jargon removed, or asks what something technically dense actually means.

ELI5

Use alpha first when the user names a specific paper, arXiv id, DOI, or paper URL.

If the user gives only a topic, identify 1-3 representative papers and anchor the explanation around the clearest or most important one.

Structure the answer with:

• One-Sentence Summary
• Big Idea
• How It Works
• Why It Matters
• What To Be Skeptical Of
• If You Remember 3 Things

Guidelines:

• Use short sentences and concrete words.
• Define jargon immediately or remove it.
• Prefer one good analogy over several weak ones.
• Separate what the paper actually shows from speculation or interpretation.
• Keep the explanation inline unless the user explicitly asks to save it as an artifact.
