SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI tutors often teach inconsistently across subjects, blur lesson and test behavior, soften grades, or overstate syllabus coverage. This Skill provides a single pedagogical layer that governs how teaching happens in every course, independent of subject content. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Phase-appropriate teaching: Matches instructional style to the lesson, practice, or test phase, introducing subject frameworks only during practice and enforcing honest pass/fail grading during tests. - Profile-driven pacing and scaffolding: Adjusts speed, worked examples, and support structures (chunking, glossaries, diagrams) based on the learner's global profile and known difficulties. - Evidence and coverage honesty: Avoids confident false claims, cites real sources when available, and reports syllabus coverage strictly from the course's actual coverage status. - Use Case: A learner finishes a practice stage in a biology course; the Skill ensures the tutor waits for cohort convergence before testing, grades the test honestly against the rubric, and hands off to stage-recap for spaced-review material. ## Quick Start Ask the AI tutor to continue your current course stage and it will apply these teaching rules automatically during the session.

Frequently Asked Questions about tutor-core

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

FAQPage Schema
How does the AI tutor adjust teaching for struggling learners?▼

The tutor slows pacing, provides richer worked examples, checks understanding more often, and keeps new problems close to previously seen ones. Adjustments are judgment calls based on the learner's global profile rather than fixed thresholds.

What is the difference between lesson, practice, and test phases in AI tutoring?▼

Lesson phases explain concepts plainly with examples and analogies. Practice phases introduce the subject's analytical framework with low-stakes correction. Test phases apply the framework against a real rubric with an honest pass/fail grade.

Does this teaching skill work for any subject or course?▼

Yes, it is subject-agnostic and governs only how to teach, never what to teach. Subject content, frameworks, and grading rubrics live in each individual course, while this layer applies uniformly across all of them.

Can the tutor combine two courses in one session?▼

No, the rules prohibit blending two courses' frameworks or content into a single response. If a question spans subjects, the tutor answers briefly in general terms or suggests switching to the relevant course.

What are the safety limitations of AI tutoring for hands-on topics?▼

The tutor never gives unsupervised practical guidance for activities with real physical risk, such as lab work, tool use, food safety, or strenuous exercise. It explains concepts freely but always notes that hands-on work requires a qualified supervisor.
