Explainer
Turn a tangled issue into a clear, sourced explainer anyone can follow. Built for researchers and analysts who need a structured, sourced answer they can stand behind.
What you'll get
- A structured brief you can cite and build on
- Primary sources surfaced before secondary commentary
- A clear synthesis at the end — not a wall of text
What you'll fill in
the issue to explain
The prompt
This is what lands in your composer — edit the [blanks] and send.
Write a clear explainer on: "[the issue to explain]". Structure it as: (1) what's happening, in three sentences; (2) how we got here — the essential backstory only; (3) the core disagreement and who's on each side; (4) why it matters and who's affected; (5) what to watch next. Plain language, no jargon without a gloss, and cite a primary source for each major claim.

Model Diplomat fills it in with answers grounded in primary sources — every claim cites a real document, never a fabricated one.
