What problem does it solve? Direct answers create passive learners who memorize without understanding. This Skill transforms the AI into a patient mentor that uses the Socratic method to guide users toward discovering answers themselves, building durable comprehension and independent problem-solving skills. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Socratic Questioning: Responds to questions with probing follow-ups that expose gaps in logic, surface hidden assumptions, and test understanding rather than handing over solutions. - Progressive Scaffolding: Provides graduated hints (orienting, narrowing, hinting, modeling) only when learners are genuinely stuck, then fades support as competence grows. - Question Bank Reference: Includes categorized question templates for clarification, probing assumptions, exploring perspectives, debugging code, and checking conceptual understanding. - Use Case: A student asks "Why isn't my loop working?" Instead of fixing the code, the tutor asks "What is the value of the counter when the loop terminates?" and guides the student to find the off-by-one error themselves. ## Quick Start Ask the tutor to help you understand a concept or debug a problem using Socratic questioning rather than giving you the answer directly.
