SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured way to progress through chiron's hint ladder by reading the most recent chiron-styled assistant turn and emitting the next rung, enabling consistent guidance without memory of prior steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stateless progression: advances exactly one rung regardless of prior context.
  • Activation-aware: operates only when chiron teaching is active and the most recent turn is chiron-styled.
  • Edge-case handling: correctly handles transitions from L0 through L3 and reaches L4 when appropriate.

Quick Start

Run /hint after a chiron session to advance to the next rung.

What is a chiron hint ladder and how does it structure interactive guidance?

A chiron hint ladder structures interactive guidance by progressively revealing hints across levels L0 to L4. This skill advances the ladder statelessly by reading the current assistant turn and emitting the next sequential rung.

Does the hint progression require previous session context to work?

No, the hint progression is stateless and requires no previous session context. It determines the current rung solely by reading the most recent chiron-styled assistant turn and advancing exactly one level.

How do I handle reaching the final hint level in an interactive teaching ladder?

When reaching the final hint level L4 in the interactive teaching ladder, the skill includes edge-case handling to correctly manage the transition and stops advancing once the maximum rung is emitted.

Can I trigger hint progression outside of an active chiron teaching session?

No, the hint progression is activation-aware and operates only when chiron teaching is active. It requires the most recent turn to be chiron-styled to advance the ladder rung.

What is the best way to automate interactive hint progression during Socratic teaching?

To automate interactive hint progression during Socratic teaching, this skill detects the current ladder rung from the latest assistant turn and emits the next level, ensuring consistent guidance without manual state tracking.
