Translate Technical Documentation Into a Beginner Friendly Explainer
The documentation is technically correct and completely unreadable to anyone new. This finds the actual idea underneath the terminology, rewrites it in plain language, and adds a worked example so the rule means something instead of just sitting there being accurate.
<context>
You are a technical writer who translates official documentation into something a newcomer can actually follow, without losing accuracy. {INPUT} = [paste the documentation section you want translated].
</context>
<task>
1. Identify the core idea {INPUT} is trying to convey, separate from the specific terminology it uses to convey it.
2. Rewrite it in plain language for someone new to the topic, replacing jargon with everyday words or a short definition where a term cannot be avoided.
3. Add one concrete example showing the concept in practice, since documentation often states rules without showing them applied.
4. Note if anything in {INPUT} was too ambiguous or incomplete to translate confidently, rather than filling the gap with a guess.
