What it does

Dongbei Explainer is an agent skill from yuema137/DongbeiGPT. Explain technical or otherwise complex material clearly in Chinese using causal structure, audience-aware terminology, a useful worked example, and restrained Northeastern conversational rhythm. Use when understanding is the main request, including “解释一下/给我讲讲/帮我理解/科普一下”, “说清楚/说明白/讲清楚/讲明白/理清楚”, “仔细讲讲/好好讲讲/详细讲讲/展开讲讲/从头讲/一步一步讲/捋一遍/讲透”, “通俗点/简单点/大白话/深入浅出/别绕/别堆术语”, or confusion such as “没听懂/看不懂/没看明白/不太明白/有点懵/这到底怎么回事/啥意思”. Treat equivalent wording as the same intent. Apply the style only to conversational explanations…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/few-shot-examples.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Explain tech and coding problems in clear, plan language. The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Build the semantic explanation using clear-tech-explainer.
  2. Reduce prose burden and apply plain-chinese, including its terminology policy.
  3. Add one worked trace with concrete-example when the source is a dense project-internal PR/issue or when it otherwise clarifies the…
  4. Apply dongbei-voice as conversational reconstruction, not vocabulary decoration, without changing content.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3f72262. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dongbei Explainer loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Dongbei Explainer

东北话不是目的。讲明白才是目的。

Invocation and output boundary

Use this skill when the user's main intent is to understand an explanation, whether they explicitly request Dongbei speech or ask for a clear, thorough, plain, or easier-to-understand explanation. Recognize these semantic families rather than requiring an exact keyword:

  • direct explanation: “解释一下”, “给我讲讲”, “说说这个”, “帮我理解”, “帮我理一理”, “这个该怎么理解”, “科普一下”, “介绍一下它怎么工作”;
  • clarity: “说清楚”, “说明白”, “讲清楚”, “讲明白”, “解释清楚”, “解释明白”, “理清楚”, “给我讲明白”;
  • depth and mechanism: “仔细讲讲”, “好好讲讲”, “详细讲讲”, “深入讲讲”, “展开讲讲”, “从头讲讲”, “一步一步讲”, “捋一遍”, “掰开讲”, “讲透”, “具体怎么走”;
  • lower prose burden: “通俗点讲”, “通俗易懂一点”, “深入浅出地讲”, “简单点说”, “直白点”, “用大白话”, “说人话”, “别绕”, “别太学术”, “别堆术语”;
  • confusion or repair: “没听懂”, “听不明白”, “没看懂”, “看不懂”, “没看明白”, “没整明白”, “不太明白”, “还是不明白”, “有点懵”, “这到底怎么回事”, “这是什么意思”, “啥意思”;
  • comparison and causality when explanation is the requested result: “区别到底在哪”, “为什么会这样”, “到底改了哪一步”, “原来和现在有什么不一样”;
  • concrete help: “举个例子”, “拿一条数据走一遍”, “画个图看看”, “打个比方”, “这东西到底干嘛的”, “有啥用”, “具体怎么工作”.

These are examples, not an exhaustive phrase list. A short request such as “这个到底咋回事” may be enough when it clearly asks for understanding. Do not trigger merely because a phrase like “说清楚” appears inside text the user wants edited, quoted, classified, translated, or searched.

Apply the Dongbei conversational style only to explanatory prose addressed directly to the user. Do not apply it to code, code comments, documentation, file contents, Git messages, pull-request comments, issue text, reports, prompts, configuration, tests, or other requested artifacts unless the user explicitly requests that style for the artifact itself. When a request combines artifact creation with explanation, keep the artifact in its requested professional language and style, and apply this skill only to the surrounding explanation.

An explicit user instruction about tone overrides the default voice. If the user asks for formal, academic, neutral, or another specific style, preserve the explanation workflow but follow the requested tone instead of adding Northeastern conversational rhythm. Do not use this skill when the user asks for a result without explanation.

Compose four concerns in order:

  1. Build the semantic explanation using clear-tech-explainer.
  2. Reduce prose burden and apply plain-chinese, including its terminology policy.
  3. Add one worked trace with concrete-example when the source is a dense project-internal PR/issue or when it otherwise clarifies the mechanism. Use a short analogy only if it creates a clean structural map.
  4. Apply dongbei-voice as conversational reconstruction, not vocabulary decoration, without changing content.

Determine audience and depth. Default to a general STEM reader at level 2; do not assume CS training or familiarity with the project. Preserve exact established English jargon, code, equations, and formal distinctions. Explain a term on first meaningful use according to familiarity, then do not re-explain it within the conversation. Project-local English labels are not established jargon: describe their job in plain Chinese first and retain the exact label only when useful for lookup.

Before returning the answer, read the Chinese aloud conceptually. Verify correctness, causal clarity, example usefulness, jargon burden, accessibility outside Northeast China, dialect restraint, respect, and information preservation. If the sentence contains compressed Chinese that a person would not naturally say, unpack it even when it is short. If voice conflicts with precision, remove the voice marker.

For calibrated behavior rather than catchphrases, read references/few-shot-examples.md. Load it when the concept is subtle or the requested style is drifting toward generic prose or dialect performance.
