SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Reading finished examples creates recognition, not skill. This Skill stands up a minimal runnable baseline with one deliberate hole — a failing test or TODO — so you learn a concept by building it yourself rather than copying a completed tutorial. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Green baseline plus one gap: Creates a skeleton that compiles and runs green, then cuts exactly one checkable gap (a red spec or TODO) that only building can fill. - Mode-switchable scaffolds: Defaults to a single throwaway TypeScript file with Vitest, scaling up to a minimal Vite or Next repo only when the framework itself is the concept. - Sealed solution and cited cheat-sheet: Hides the reference implementation on a solution branch and includes only the minimum cited knowledge the gap requires. - Use Case: You want to truly own useReducer instead of copying examples. The Skill creates a fetchMachine.ts stub with failing transition specs, seals the working reducer on a solution branch, and hands you the gap to fill until pnpm vitest goes green. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to scaffold a small practice project so you can learn a specific React or TypeScript concept by building it from a failing test.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up a practice project to learn a React concept by building it?

Define one observable success move, then create a green-running skeleton with exactly one stubbed gap — a failing spec or TODO with a checkable done-condition. Fill the gap from the stub until the test goes green, rather than reading a finished example.

Should I use a single file or a full Next.js repo for practice exercises?

Use a single TypeScript file with Vitest whenever the pattern survives outside a framework, such as a reducer, parser, or algorithm. Choose a minimal Vite or Next repo only when the framework itself is the concept, like RSC, routing, or hydration.

Why seal the solution instead of keeping it open for reference?

Reading a finished solution creates recognition, not recall — the confirmation trap where fluency is mistaken for skill. Sealing the answer on a separate branch forces retrieval and construction from the stub, which is what actually builds the capability.

When should I not use a practice scaffold?

Skip it when the goal is answering a design question (use a coded prototype), shipping a task from documentation research, or running multi-session pedagogy with learning records — those belong to other workflows. This scaffold answers only 'can I build this pattern from scratch?'

How many gaps should one practice scaffold contain?

Exactly one. One concept maps to one gap with a checkable done-condition; a second concept gets its own scaffold. Multiple gaps dilute the feedback loop and make it unclear which skill the red test is exercising.
