# eli5

Explain like I'm someone who knows nothing about this topic, using an HTML visual explainer with big pictures and few words.

Take the topic from the user's message. Prefer an artifact/canvas when available; otherwise present the HTML for preview. Do not write it into the repo unless asked.
