SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Answering a question once rarely builds real understanding, and unstructured explanations leave learners without practice or feedback. This Skill turns a tutoring request into a focused lesson with one observable objective, grounded in supplied or trusted sources, followed by a practice task and specific feedback on the learner's actual attempt. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Calibrated lessons: Ties each session to a small observable outcome based on the learner's goal, prior knowledge, and supplied materials, without turning a simple question into a course. - Source-grounded practice: Anchors explanations and exercises in primary documentation or supplied material, clearly separating source claims from inference and disclosing when no source is available. - Evidence-based feedback: Waits for the learner's real attempt, gives specific corrective feedback, and checks transfer with a changed example before claiming understanding. - Optional learner-owned records: On explicit request, saves Markdown lesson records separating covered material, self-reported knowledge, and demonstrated performance, with supersession handling for corrections. - Use Case: Ask "Teach me how this parser handles missing fields using this spec, and give me one exercise" to get a grounded mini-lesson, a practice task, and feedback on your answer. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to teach you a specific concept from a document or spec you provide and to give you one practice exercise with feedback on your answer.

Frequently Asked Questions about tutor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get a tutoring lesson on a technical topic?▼

Ask the agent to teach you the concept and provide any relevant spec or documentation. The tutor sets one small observable objective, explains only what the next task needs, then gives you a practice exercise with feedback on your attempt.

How does the tutor check that I actually learned something?▼

It gives one small task with clear success criteria and waits for your real response before giving feedback. After correction, it offers a changed example or explain-back task to check transfer, and never marks an unanswered task complete.

Can the tutor save my lesson progress between sessions?▼

Yes, but only when you explicitly request it and select a workspace. Records are learner-owned Markdown files separating covered material, self-reported knowledge, and demonstrated performance; nothing is saved automatically or inferred from the working directory.

Does the tutor browse the web or cite sources automatically?▼

No. It grounds lessons in material you supply or already-authorized trusted sources, identifies the supporting section, and discloses when no suitable source is available rather than inventing citations.

When should I not use a tutoring workflow?▼

Skip it for simple factual questions that need only a direct answer, and do not expect certification, scheduled practice, or proof of long-term retention. It also does not replace qualified professional guidance.
