Interactive tutorial that teaches Ouroboros through hands-on experience.

When this skill is invoked, guide the user through a learn-by-doing tutorial with progressive disclosure.
Start with enthusiasm and immediate value:
Welcome to the Ouroboros Tutorial!
In the next 5 minutes, you'll:
- Transform a vague idea into a precise specification
- See Ouroboros expose hidden assumptions you didn't know you had
- Generate a validated Seed ready for AI execution
Let's start with YOUR idea. What's something you've been wanting to build?
[Wait for user response - any project idea works]
Once they share an idea, immediately start a simplified interview:
Great choice! Let me show you how Ouroboros thinks about this.
[Ask 3-4 targeted Socratic questions about their idea]
- "What's the primary problem this solves?"
- "Who are the main users?"
- "What's the one feature that would make this useful immediately?"
Notice something? Each question exposed an assumption you hadn't articulated.
This is the "aha moment" - requirements clarity BEFORE writing code.
Generate a mini-seed to show immediate value:
Based on your answers, here's what we've uncovered:
[Display a simplified seed structure]
Goal: [their goal refined]
Constraints: [3 key constraints they mentioned]
Success Criteria: [2-3 clear metrics]
Ambiguity Score: 0.XX [show progress from vague to clear]
This seed is now ready for AI execution. No more "build me X" and hoping for the best!
Progressive disclosure of features:
Now that you've seen the core magic, here's what else Ouroboros can do:
Immediate Wins (Available Now):
- ooo unstuck - 5 lateral thinking personas when you're blocked
- ooo seed - Generate full specifications from interviews
- ooo evolve - Evolutionary loop until ontology converges
Advanced Features (Setup Required):
- ooo run - Execute with visual TUI dashboard
- ooo evaluate - 3-stage quality verification
- ooo status - Track project drift in real-time
Want to try any of these now? Or shall I show you the full workflow?

The Complete Ouroboros Workflow:
Idea โ Interview โ Seed โ Route โ Execute โ Evaluate
โ โ โ โ โ โ
Vague Clear Frozen Right Build Verified
Assumptions Spec Model Visibly Quality
5 commands from idea to validated result:
1. ooo interview "your idea" # Expose assumptions
2. ooo seed # Crystallize spec
3. ooo run # Execute with TUI
4. ooo evaluate # 3-stage verification
5. ooo status # Check drift
Ready to try your first real project?
Your First Real Project awaits!
Pick a path:
Path A: Start Fresh
ooo interview "your actual project idea"
Path B: Learn More
ooo help # Full command reference
Path C: Setup Full Features
ooo setup # Enable TUI, evaluation, drift tracking
Which path interests you?
Track progress through these checkpoints:
No problem! Let's use a classic example: a task management CLI.
[Continue tutorial with task management CLI example]
It's actually simpler than it sounds. Let me show you the 3 commands you'll use 90% of the time:
1. ooo interview "idea" # Clarify what you want
2. ooo seed # Generate the spec
3. ooo run # Build it
Everything else is optional power-user features.
Great question! The difference is:
Without Ouroboros:
"Build me a task CLI" โ Claude guesses โ You realize it's wrong โ Rewrite prompt โ Repeat
With Ouroboros:
Interview โ Hidden assumptions exposed โ Precise spec โ Claude builds exactly what you want โ First try
The interview saves you hours of iteration.
