What it does

This prompt instructs the AI to act as a technical explainer who adapts an explanation of a specified technical topic to a defined audience and knowledge level. It requires the response to start by stating scope and assumptions, give a high-level overview, then break the concept into 3–5 clear steps using plain language, brief definitions of necessary jargon, and helpful analogies or simple visuals when appropriate. It also asks the AI to note limitations and common pitfalls, avoid speculation, and finish with a practical real-world example based on the provided use case, while requesting more details if key inputs are missing.

Inputs

textInputs

Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.

Variable key	Required?	Description	Defaults
audience_type	Required		(none)
knowledge_level	Required		(none)
technical_topic	Required		(none)
example_or_use_case	Required		(none)

Models and options

This skill's modality is: text.

To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".

How to run

Step 1: Collect inputs

First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:

betterprompt resources --models-only --json

Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.

Then collect all inputs from the human:

• Required text inputs:
  • audience_type
  • knowledge_level
  • technical_topic
  • example_or_use_case
• Optional: model and options.
  • Present the human with the default model gpt-5 and its available options. Look up gpt-5 in the betterprompt resources output (filtered to modality "text") and show its availableOptions as: key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value (default) if it matches these defaults: {}.
  • If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model gpt-5, options {}. Other models from the resources call are also available.

If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.

Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI

Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use clear-technical-explainer-with-use-case).

Command form:

betterprompt generate clear-technical-explainer-with-use-case \
  [--input <key>=<value>] \
  [--model <model>] \
  [--options <options JSON>] \
  [--json]

Notes:

• Pass each text input as a separate --input <key>=<value> flag.
• If the human does not mention a model, omit --model and BetterPrompt will use the default model: gpt-5.
• If the human does not mention options, omit --options and BetterPrompt will use the default options: {}.
• If the run times out, the response will include a runId you can use to fetch the result later.

Example (using defaults shown above):

betterprompt generate clear-technical-explainer-with-use-case \
  --input audience_type=<value> \
  --input knowledge_level=<value> \
  --input technical_topic=<value> \
  --input example_or_use_case=<value> \
  --model gpt-5 \
  --options '{}'
