Teach

Build one lesson at a time around the learner's mission and current zone of proximal development. Preserve learning state in the workspace so later sessions start from evidence rather than repetition.

Read the Workspace

Inspect these paths when present:

• MISSION.md for the concrete outcome; create it with MISSION-FORMAT.md.
• RESOURCES.md for trusted sources and communities; use RESOURCES-FORMAT.md.
• learning-records/*.md for demonstrated knowledge; use LEARNING-RECORD-FORMAT.md.
• GLOSSARY.md for established language; use GLOSSARY-FORMAT.md.
• assets/, lessons/, reference/, and NOTES.md for reusable components, prior outputs, and teaching preferences.

Read REFERENCE.md when selecting pedagogy, retrieval practice, or a knowledge, skill, or wisdom branch.

Select the Session Branch

Bootstrap

Use when MISSION.md is missing or vague. Ask only for the concrete outcome, observable success, and constraints needed to write it. Do not create a lesson until the mission can select what belongs and what does not.

Lesson

1. Infer the smallest current skill gap from the mission and learning records.
2. Gather the minimum trusted source material needed for that gap and update RESOURCES.md with annotated sources.
3. Produce one short lessons/NNNN-slug.html lesson that gives one tangible win and includes an immediate feedback loop.
4. Reuse assets/ before adding a component. Create a shared stylesheet when the first lesson needs one.
5. Add or update a printable reference/*.html artifact only when the lesson yields reusable compressed knowledge.
6. Write a learning record only after the user demonstrates understanding or states prior knowledge; exposure alone is not evidence.

Wisdom

Use when the question requires real-world judgment. Answer what the available evidence supports, then recommend a reputable community or practitioner where the learner can test the skill. Respect a recorded preference not to join a community.

Lesson Contract

• Tie every activity to MISSION.md.
• Keep content inside the learner's current zone of proximal development.
• Cite primary or high-trust sources for factual claims.
• Teach only the knowledge required for the target skill, then require retrieval or performance with prompt feedback.
• Avoid answer-length or formatting clues in quizzes.
• Link related lessons and reference artifacts with relative HTML links.
• Confirm before changing the mission.

Completion Criterion

A session is complete when the mission and current skill gap are explicit, one branch-specific artifact has been created or updated, its claims are grounded in recorded sources, any learning record is backed by evidence, and the next practice step follows directly from the mission without re-litigating it.
