Explain Anything: The Two-Level Prompt

When you're learning something new, you need the simple version and the real version. This prompt gives you both in one shot.

The prompt

Explain [topic] to me twice.
First: like I'm 10 years old, using a simple analogy.
Then: like I'm a professional who needs the real depth,
including the key terms and the one thing most people get wrong.
End with 3 questions I should be able to answer if I understood it.

Why two levels?

  • The kid version builds intuition you won't forget.
  • The expert version gives you the vocabulary to sound credible.
  • The 3 questions turn passive reading into a quick self-test.

Follow-ups

Now quiz me one question at a time and grade my answers.
Give me a real-world example I'd actually run into.

Learn faster by stacking the simple and the deep.
