In plain English

This is a Claude Code skill that generates beginner-friendly educational books in Chinese on any topic. The inspiration is a 1910 English math book called "Calculus Made Easy" by Silvanus P. Thompson, which became famous for taking a subject most people found frightening and presenting it in plain, direct language without unnecessary formality. This skill applies that same philosophy to any subject a user names. The README is written in Chinese and is brief. The core idea, as stated, is not to explain a topic more thoroughly, but to first remove the reader's fear of it: strip the jargon, translate symbols into plain words, lead with intuition rather than rules, and use concrete examples before abstract definitions. Each chapter follows a five-part structure: open by eliminating fear, use everyday language, put intuition before formal rules, include close-to-life examples, and close with a short ending. The workflow starts by generating a table of contents and sample chapter so the user can approve the style and difficulty level before the full book is written. It finishes with a conclusion and appendix file, and the repository includes instructions for converting the resulting Markdown files into a PDF. Installation places the skill folder inside Claude's skills directory, after which it can be triggered with phrases like "teach me X in the easy-learning style" or "write a beginner book on X in the Calculus Made Easy style". The license is MIT. The README gives no further technical detail beyond the workflow description.
