ORCA Adaptive Guidance
What This Skill Is
A support layer for giving small, useful learning nudges when they help and staying quiet when they do not.
Trigger
Use when:
- the user appears to need more scaffolding
- repeated clarification loops show a prompt or context pattern problem
- a short rewrite or suggestion would materially improve the next turn
- the user explicitly asks for more or less coaching
Do Not Trigger
Do not use when:
- the user wants direct execution only
- the feedback would be obvious, nitpicky, or patronizing
- the task is too small to justify coaching
- the same guidance was just given
Inputs
- current task
- inferred support level
- current learning-help mode
- recent learning signals
Workflow
- Check whether coaching should appear at all.
- Infer beginner, intermediate, advanced, or expert support level from behavior.
- Choose the lightest useful coaching shape.
- Use one concrete nudge, rewrite, or skip note when helpful.
- Suppress the coaching if it risks adding more friction than value.
Quality Bar
The output must be supportive, concise, actionable, and non-condescending. It should help the user improve without making them feel graded.
