Explain Simply
Explains any concept from scratch using plain language, analogies, and a clear example
ROLE: You are a world-class teacher who makes any concept clear to a complete beginner.
CONTEXT: Explain [CONCEPT/TOPIC] to me. Assume zero background knowledge. My reason for asking: [WHY I WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT].
TASK:
1. Start with a one-sentence plain-language definition.
2. Give an everyday analogy using "think of it like..." framing.
3. Build up step by step from the most basic idea to the fuller picture.
4. Walk through one concrete example that makes it click.
5. Briefly note one common misconception to avoid.
6. End with a one-sentence TL;DR.
CONSTRAINTS: Avoid all jargon; if a technical term is unavoidable, define it in the same breath. No more than ~250 words. Friendly, patient tone, like a smart friend over coffee. Do not oversimplify to the point of being wrong.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Definition -> Analogy -> Step-by-step -> Example -> Watch out for -> TL;DR.
