When to Use

Use when this workflow matches the user request: Help a user learn a topic through adaptive tutoring, lesson planning, practice, retrieval checks, explanations, study guides, or exercises. Use when the user asks to learn, understand, practice, drill, review, study, or be tutored on something.

_Source: dair-ai/dair-academy-plugins (MIT)._Use this skill when the user wants to learn a topic or improve a skill. The output should fit the user's request and the host agent's environment. Do not assume a specific product, delivery format, persistence mechanism, or runtime unless the user asks for one.

Core Workflow

1. Diagnose the learner's current level and goal.
2. Choose a small next learning objective.
3. Teach with concrete examples before abstractions.
4. Give the learner an active task, question, or exercise.
5. Provide immediate feedback and correction.
6. Record or summarize the next recommended step when useful.

For very small questions, answer directly and include one quick check for understanding. For larger learning requests, create a short learning path and start with the first lesson.

Diagnostic

Before building a full plan, infer what you can from the user's prompt. Ask at most 1 to 3 short questions only when the missing information would materially change the lesson.
