Use the topic supplied in the request or established in the conversation. If no topic is identifiable, ask what the user wants to learn. Create one focused HTML explainer with large illustrations and few words. Build the explanation in a short sequence from the basic idea to a concrete example. Define necessary terms when they first appear; use analogies only when they preserve the important relationships. Keep this a focused introduction to the requested topic. Extend it into a course, exercises, or a quiz only when the user asks. Preview the rendered explanation when a suitable tool is available. Deliver the HTML through the host's artifact view, or save it as a file and provide a link. If neither artifact nor file delivery is available, present the same visual explanation with concise captions in the conversation. ## Working with show-me This skill owns the learner's starting point and the explanation sequence. It works independently. When the user also requests `show-me` and that skill is available, use its visual forms within the lesson; the explanation should still suit the learner.
