SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Learning a new topic with an AI assistant is usually stateless and unstructured — each session starts from zero, lessons are not grounded in the learner's actual goal, and there is no record of what has already been mastered. This Skill turns a directory into a persistent teaching workspace that tracks the learner's mission, knowledge, and progress across sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stateful learning workspace: Maintains MISSION.md, RESOURCES.md, GLOSSARY.md, NOTES.md, and numbered learning records so every session builds on prior understanding and targets the zone of proximal development. - Self-contained HTML lessons: Produces short, beautifully typeset, numbered lessons in ./lessons/ with quizzes, citations to trusted sources, and reusable shared components in ./assets/. - Evidence-based pedagogy: Applies retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving to build long-term retention, and directs learners to high-trust communities for real-world wisdom. - Use Case: A user wants to learn strength training. The Skill interviews them to write a mission, curates trusted resources, then generates a sequence of interactive HTML lessons with quizzes, recording each demonstrated insight as a learning record. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to teach you a topic, for example: teach me the fundamentals of strength training in this workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use an AI agent to learn a new topic over multiple sessions?▼

Invoke the teach skill in a dedicated directory, which becomes a persistent learning workspace. The agent records your mission, prior knowledge, and demonstrated understanding in files like MISSION.md and learning-records, so each session continues where the last one ended.

What files does the teach workspace create?▼

The workspace contains MISSION.md for your learning goal, RESOURCES.md for curated trusted sources, GLOSSARY.md for compressed terminology, NOTES.md for preferences, numbered learning records in learning-records/, and self-contained HTML lessons in lessons/ with shared components in assets/.

How does the skill decide what to teach next?▼

It calculates your zone of proximal development by reading your learning records and mission. Lessons target material that is challenging but achievable, and prior knowledge you disclose is recorded so it is never re-taught.

Can the lessons include quizzes and interactive exercises?▼

Yes. Lessons are self-contained HTML files that can include quizzes and in-browser tasks with immediate feedback. The skill applies retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving to build long-term retention rather than short-term fluency.

Does the teaching rely on the AI's built-in knowledge?▼

No. The skill explicitly distrusts parametric knowledge and grounds lessons in high-trust resources curated in RESOURCES.md. Every lesson cites a primary source, and wisdom-level questions are delegated to reputable communities.
