What problem does it solve?
The Tutor skill delivers expert-level concept explanations tailored to the learner's background, age, and existing knowledge. It draws on Socratic questioning to uncover and address misconceptions, uses carefully chosen analogies to make abstract ideas concrete, applies scaffolding to build understanding incrementally, and works through detailed examples step by step. Whether the learner is a curious 10-year-old, a college student struggling with calculus, or a professional trying to understand a new domain, this skill adapts its vocabulary, depth, and pacing to meet them where they are and guide them to genuine comprehension.
