Overview
The learning workflow begins with the mission rather than a topic label. Instead of asking only, "What subject do you want to study?" the system asks what the learner is trying to accomplish in the world.
For a novice who can read some code and use a terminal, the mission might be to build and safely operate a scheduling application for students. That mission changes the curriculum. The highest-leverage next step may not be more syntax. It may be version control, reading errors, debugging, testing, or understanding how software is shipped.
The stateful workspace can contain:
- A mission file describing the learner, the intended project, why it matters, and what success
looks like.
- A learning record containing the starting point, completed lessons, current estimates, and
decisions about what should come next.
- A concise cheat sheet for concepts and commands.
- Individual lessons saved locally in a rich format that can be opened in a browser.
- Exercises and retrieval questions that test whether the learner can recall and apply the material.
The workspace lets the teaching agent remember prior work. It can inspect the local environment, adapt exercises to the learner's setup, and avoid repeatedly asking for information it already has.
The curriculum is treated as a graph of possible knowledge. The teaching system chooses a linear path through that graph: learn one prerequisite, confirm it, record it, and then select the next reachable concept. This is how the workflow applies the idea of teaching within the learner's current developmental range without flooding the learner with the entire field.
