ELI5

Use Feynman's alpha tools first when the user names a specific paper, arXiv id, DOI, or paper URL. In shell, call feynman alpha ..., not a bare global alpha binary.

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.
