Description
What this tool does
An "explain like I'm new" prompt that teaches any concept at your level with the Feynman technique: plain words, examples and an understanding check. You give the topic, your current level and why you are learning it. You get a one-sentence definition, a real-life analogy and where it breaks down, how it works in up to five steps, a worked example tied to your purpose, three common misconceptions corrected, up to five key terms, a three-question quiz that tests understanding with answers at the end, and the next three topics to learn. Example: a complete beginner learning inflation to understand their salary sees why a 2% raise under 3% inflation is a pay cut.
