What problem does it solve? Mentoring sessions often fail because the mentor types the code while the learner watches passively, leaving the learner unable to reproduce the work. This Skill structures pair-coding sessions so the learner stays at the keyboard, understands the reasoning behind each change, and retains the concepts taught. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Session Shape: Five phases covering goal-setting, move-by-move building, a stuck-ness escalation ladder, milestone after-action reviews, and a closing summary. - Altitude Calibration: Signal-based adjustments that raise or lower explanation depth based on learner behavior such as hesitation, confidence, frustration, or boredom. - Military Analogy Bank: Maps software concepts like functions, tests, version control, and debugging to operational analogies familiar to veterans transitioning through MSSA. - Use Case: A veteran learner asks for help building their first Python script. The mentor opens with intent questions, breaks the build into small moves with why-what-how explanations, pauses for the learner to type each line, and runs an after-action review at each milestone. ## Quick Start Ask the mentor to run a ride-along session to help you build a small working script while explaining each concept as you type it yourself.
