SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Learning a new topic with an AI assistant is usually stateless — every session starts from zero, lessons are not grounded in your goals, and nothing tracks what you already know. This Skill turns a directory into a persistent teaching workspace that remembers your mission, your progress, and your trusted resources across sessions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stateful workspace files: Maintains MISSION.md (your learning goal), RESOURCES.md (curated high-trust sources), GLOSSARY.md (compressed terminology), and sequential learning records that capture demonstrated understanding and misconceptions. - HTML lessons and references: Produces short, self-contained HTML lessons in ./lessons/ plus printable reference documents, built from reusable components in ./assets/ for a consistent course look. - Zone of proximal development targeting: Reads your learning records to pick the next lesson that challenges you just enough, using retrieval practice, spacing, and interleaving for long-term retention. - Use Case: You want to learn strength training over several weeks. The Skill interviews you to write a mission, curates evidence-based resources, then generates interactive quiz-based lessons and a glossary, recording each milestone so future sessions build on what you actually mastered. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to teach you a topic, for example: teach me the fundamentals of strength training in this workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions about teach

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I use an AI agent to learn a new topic over multiple sessions?

Invoke the teach skill in a dedicated directory, which becomes a persistent learning workspace. The agent records your mission, prior knowledge, and demonstrated understanding in files like MISSION.md and learning-records, so each new session continues from your actual progress instead of starting over.

How does the teach skill decide what to teach next?

It reads your learning records and MISSION.md to estimate your zone of proximal development, then selects the most relevant topic that challenges you just enough. If your mission is unclear, it interviews you first before producing any lessons.

What format are the lessons generated by the teach skill?

Lessons are single self-contained HTML files saved to ./lessons/ with sequential names like 0001-topic.html. They are short, printable, link to each other and to reference documents, and are built from reusable components stored in ./assets/.

Does the teach skill rely on the AI's built-in knowledge?

No, it explicitly distrusts parametric knowledge and builds a RESOURCES.md of high-trust books, articles, and communities first. Lessons cite these external sources, and wisdom-level questions are delegated to real communities like forums or local classes.

What are learning records and when are they written?

Learning records are short numbered markdown files capturing demonstrated understanding, disclosed prior knowledge, corrected misconceptions, or mission changes. They are not written for material that was merely covered without evidence of learning.
