Writing quality inside every format is handled by level 1 rules (below).\n\nSource: Andrej Karpathy, 2026-10-02 <https://x.com/karpathy/status/2105819303471976479>. LLM output is nearly free; human understanding is the bottleneck. So ask for formats that are easier to understand. He ranked four, each \"even better\" than the last — and each more expensive.\n\n**Language:** reply in the user's language. These instructions are in English; the output is not.\n\n## The four rungs\n\n| Rung | Format | Why it is easier | Cost |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| 1 | Plain controlled text | One idea per sentence, one meaning per term; read once, no misreading | lowest |\n| 2 | Diagram | Text is linear; a diagram lays the structure out at once | low |\n| 3 | Interactive HTML page | The reader moves a parameter and sees the result change | medium |\n| 4 | Explainer video (3b1b style) | Animation shows the process while narration explains it | high |\n\n## Step 1: classify the content, pick a rung\n\n| Content type | Signals | Rung |\n|---|---|---|\n| Definition, fact, comparison, procedure | \"what is X\", \"how do I install\", \"A vs B\" | 1 |\n| Process, causal chain, hierarchy, state changes, component relations | \"how does X work\", \"how does data flow\", \"who calls whom\" | 2 |\n| A parameter changes an outcome; trade-offs; distributions | \"what happens if utilization rises\", \"how does learning rate affect convergence\" | 3 |\n| A derivation or geometric intuition that unfolds over time | \"why do sine waves add up to a square wave\", \"how does gradient descent move on a surface\" | 4 |\n\nRules:\n\n1. **If the user names a format, use it.** \"Draw a diagram\" means rung 2.\n2. **Pick the lowest rung that fully answers.** If a paragraph is enough, do not build a page.\n3. **Mixed content: pick by the core difficulty.** If the hard part is \"how a parameter changes the result\", pick rung 3 even if there is a definition inside.\n4. **When unsure, go one rung lower and offer the next.** End with one line, e.g. \"If you want to drag the parameter yourself, I can make this a rung-3 interactive page.\"\n\nOpen with one line that states the choice, then produce it. Do not ask \"which rung do you want?\" unless the user asked for a recommendation:\n\n> Rung 3 (interactive page): the core question is how utilization changes latency — dragging a slider shows this faster than text.\n\n## Step 2: produce the rung\n\n**Every rung starts from a rung-1 draft.** Write the plain text first, then turn it into a diagram, page, or video. The draft is what you check for correctness before spending effort on richer formats.\n\n### Rung 1: plain controlled text\n\nPick the rules by output language:\n\n- **Chinese** → use the `plain-chinese` skill (as a plugin it may be named `understanding-ladder:plain-chinese`). Chinese has no \"ASD-STE100\" to invoke, so that skill spells the rules out.\n- **English** → write \"about 80% of the way to ASD-STE100\" (Karpathy's phrasing), with these rules made explicit:\n  - One idea per sentence. Aim for ≤20 words in instructions, ≤25 in descriptions.\n  - One term per meaning. Define a term the first time; never rotate synonyms.\n  - Active voice; name who does what. Simple tenses.\n  - Steps as a numbered list, imperative verb first.\n  - Conditions before actions (\"If X, do Y\").\n  - No filler (\"It's worth noting\", \"Great question\", \"In summary…\").\n  - **Nothing cut.** Keep every fact, number, condition, and hedge (\"usually\", \"may\"). Simple language, not less content — the rewrite may be longer.\n  - Do not touch code, commands, paths, quoted errors, or proper names.\n- **Other languages** → apply the English rules in that language.\n\n### Rung 2: diagram\n\nSee [references/level-2-diagram.md](references/level-2-diagram.md). In short:\n\n- Choose the diagram type first: flowchart, sequence, state, hierarchy, causal graph, comparison table.\n- Default to Mermaid (renders in most chat UIs and on GitHub). Use a single-file SVG/HTML when layout matters.\n- ≤8 words (or ≤8 Chinese characters) per box. Below the diagram, 2–4 sentences on how to read it.\n\n### Rung 3: interactive HTML page\n\nSee [references/level-3-html.md](references/level-3-html.md). In short:\n\n- One self-contained HTML file. No build step; double-click to open.\n- One job: let the reader move the **1–3 parameters that matter** and see the result update live.\n- Layout: one-line takeaway → interactive area → rung-1 text → \"try this\" prompts → limits and what to check.\n- Save it in the working directory, tell the user the path, open it if the environment allows.\n\n### Rung 4: explainer video\n\nSee [references/level-4-video.md](references/level-4-video.md). This skill **does not render video**. It delivers:\n\n- A storyboard: per shot — visual, narration (rung-1 rules), duration.\n- Tool links, e.g. [showtime](https://github.com/FavioVazquez/showtime) (open source, early; v0.4.0+ reads the storyboard table directly), [Manim](https://www.manim.community/), local TTS [Kokoro](https://github.com/thewh1teagle/kokoro-onnx).\n- A ready-to-paste prompt for those tools. With showtime ≥ 0.4.0, the storyboard table goes in as-is: `showtime new <template> <dir> --from-storyboard storyboard.md`.\n\n## Demo mode: same content, every rung\n\nWhen the user says \"show all rungs\", \"walk this from rung 1 to 4\", 「逐级演示」:\n\n1. Rung 0: the usual default prose, as a baseline.\n2. Rung 1: plain text.\n3. Rung 2: diagram.\n4. Rung 3: interactive page (can hold rungs 0–2 as tabs in the same HTML file).\n5. Rung 4: storyboard.\n\nThis is the best way to feel how much the format itself changes understanding.\n\n## Always append \"What to check\"\n\nEnd every output with 1–3 things the reader should verify: key numbers, formulas, assumptions, anything that disagrees with a source.\n\nWhy: the ladder lowers the cost of **understanding**, not the cost of **verification**. The clearer and prettier the artifact, the more it lowers the reader's guard. An error in an animation is more convincing than the same error in text.\n\n## Do not\n\n- Climb rungs to look thorough. If rung 1 is enough, stop at rung 1.\n- Add facts in the diagram, page, or video that are not in the rung-1 draft. New facts go into the draft first.\n- Invent data to make a page look real. Label sample data as sample data.\n","tagline":"Pick the output format that makes an explanation easiest to understand, following Karpathy's understanding ladder — (1) plain controlled text, (2) diagram, (3) interactive HTML page, (4) 3Blue1Brown-style explainer video.
