printAge("42") fails with "error union is ignored". The tutor explains that errors are values in Zig, shows the try fix, and explains who is responsible for handling the failure. ## Quick Start Ask the tutor to explain a Zig concept or error message in beginner-friendly Japanese, for example by requesting an explanation of the difference between arrays and slices.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Invoke the zig-tutor skill and ask questions in natural language. It responds in Japanese with a short conclusion, a minimal runnable code example, an explanation of how the code works, and the reasoning behind Zig's design, building understanding step by step.
The tutor explains errors in a fixed order: what is happening, why the compiler complains, where the problem is, how to fix it, and how to avoid it. For error unions, it teaches that Zig errors are values and shows fixes using try, catch, or if.
Yes, it assumes Zig 0.16.0 by default, covering std.Io, pub fn main(init: std.process.Init), and unmanaged std.ArrayList. For existing projects it reads minimum_zig_version from build.zig.zon and labels version-specific APIs.
Arrays are fixed-size values, slices are a pointer plus a length, and pointers reference single elements. The tutor compares these with ASCII memory diagrams and explains when to choose each, such as passing []const u8 to functions.
Do not use it for implementation, refactoring, or code-review deliverables, since those are explicitly out of scope. It is designed for learning and explanation; once you switch to a production coding task, a different skill fits better.
