Feynman PDF
Turn any topic into a polished, visualization-heavy PDF that explains it using the Feynman technique — plain language, vivid analogies, and a diagram for every idea — then save it to the user's Desktop. Use this skill whenever the user wants to explain, teach, break down, demystify, or "make a PDF / one-pager / handout / explainer / cheat sheet / study guide / illustrated guide" about a concept, system, or process. Trigger even when the user doesn't say "Feynman" — any request for a clear, diagram-rich PDF that *teaches* something qualifies (e.g. "make me an illustrated explainer on how DNS wo

# Feynman PDF — explain anything as an illustrated PDF ## The bargain The Feynman technique rests on one idea: **if you can't explain it simply, with a picture, you don't really understand it.** This skill turns a topic into a PDF that teaches it the way Feynman taught — plain words, a vivid analogy, and a diagram for every idea — then drops the finished PDF on the user's Desktop. The output is not a report and not a slide deck. It's a short, friendly, *illustrated explainer* that a curious person could read in a few minutes and walk away actually understanding the thing. ## Step 0 — Know the thing well enough to teach it You can only Feynman-explain what you genuinely understand. Before building — and without pausing to ask the user anything; this skill runs to completion on its own: - **Identify the concept** and any source material the user pointed at (a file, notes, a URL, or just the topic name). - **If source material exists, read the actual thing before drafting anything.** For a codebase that means opening the relevant files, not describing what similar codebases usually look like; for an article or book, the real passages, not a half-remembered gist. - **If the user only named a topic** and it's something you know cold, proceed — your job is to simplify, not to research.
