Apply this skill whenever the user asks to have a topic, concept, technology, or idea explained to them. Triggers on phrases like 'explain X to me', 'what is X?', 'how does X work?', 'teach me about X', 'help me understand X', 'break down X', 'ELI5', 'explain like I'm five', 'give me an overview of X', 'I don't understand X', 'walk me through X', or any situation where the user wants to learn or understand something rather than produce an artifact. Also trigger when someone pastes a concept and asks for clarification, when they ask 'why' something works a certain way, or when they need a refresher on a topic they've encountered before. This skill does NOT apply to 'write documentation about X' (use technical-writing) or 'analyze X' (use reasoning skills). This skill is for when the human is the learner.
