This skill provides patterns for writing effective explanation documents. Explanations are understanding-oriented content for readers who want to know why things work the way they do.
Explanations are for reading away from the keyboard. Unlike tutorials or how-to guides, readers aren't trying to accomplish a task while reading. They're building mental models.
Explanations answer "why?" and "how does it work?" rather than "how do I?"
