SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Learners practicing Object-Role Modeling with the barwise gym accumulate pass/fail records but lack guidance on interpreting them. This Skill reads those session logs and miss cards to answer "what do I keep getting wrong?" and "how do I get better?" with evidence-based coaching instead of guesswork. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Trend Analysis: Parses the tab-separated gym session log chronologically to distinguish one-off failures from recurring failure patterns across runs. - Bias Diagnosis: Maps recurring failure signatures (e.g., requires_verbalization, forbids_population) to the reductive-bias catalog, naming the underlying habit of thought such as table-thinking or attribute-first modeling. - Targeted Recommendations: Suggests the next exercises, readings, and proficiency-level transitions based on what the learner passes unaided, plus reminders to import miss cards into Anki. - Use Case: A learner has run barwise gym check a dozen times and keeps failing ternary decomposition exercises. This Skill identifies the recurring forbids_population signature, explains the binary-arity assumption behind it, and recommends the next exercise targeting that bias. ## Quick Start Ask the coach to review my barwise gym history and tell me what I keep getting wrong and which exercise I should try next.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find out what I keep getting wrong in ORM modeling?▼

Run barwise gym check on your candidate models first, then ask for a coaching review. The Skill parses your gym session log chronologically, separates one-off failures from recurring ones, and maps repeated failure signatures to the reductive-bias catalog.

Where does the barwise gym store session records?▼

Records live in $XDG_STATE_HOME/barwise/ (falling back to ~/.local/state/barwise/). The gym-sessions.log file holds one tab-separated line per check run, and the misses/ directory holds the latest miss-card file per exercise in Anki import format.

What happens if I have never run barwise gym check?▼

If the state directory or log is missing, the Skill cannot coach because no record exists. It will point you to barwise gym list and barwise gym show <id> so you can pick an exercise and run your first check.

Can the gym coach fix or edit my modeling exercises?▼

No. The Skill never edits session logs or miss-card files, and it does not author models. For help writing a model, use the barwise-modeling skill instead; this Skill only coaches study habits from the evaluator's record.

Why does the coach say my record is too thin to diagnose?▼

With fewer than three runs or no recurring failure pattern, there is not enough evidence to name a bias honestly. The Skill recommends more repetitions instead of speculating, since recurrence is the signal that reveals a habit of thought.
