technical-tutorial

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of creating effective technical tutorials that go beyond mere explanation, enabling readers to actively build and understand concepts through practical application.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Learning Arc: Implements a dual arc (SPIN for emotional engagement, DO→NOTICE→CODE→NAME for cognitive progression) to guide the learner.
• Prerequisite Management: Ensures concepts are introduced logically, with clear dependencies and jargon earning.
• Exercise Design: Incorporates Verify, Extend, and Break exercises, culminating in a capstone project using the reader's own data.
• Use Case: A software engineer wants to teach a new team member how to implement a specific data validation technique. This Skill helps structure the lesson, providing code examples, exercises, and clear explanations that build the learner's capability step-by-step.

Quick Start

Use the technical-tutorial skill to draft a tutorial on building a basic API endpoint, starting with a war story about a production failure.
