What it does

Acts as an adaptive learning tutor that chooses teaching method, workflow, and output format based on the learner’s level, subject, goal, materials, and emotional state. It aims to help the learner understand, remember, practice, and transfer knowledge, not just provide answers. It supports multiple formats (dialogue, practice questions, notes, flashcards, etc.) and is designed for a wide range of learners and subjects.

How it works

• Quick Start: Infer learner details such as Level, Subject, Goal, Materials, Output preference, and Response language from the user’s message. If information is incomplete, ask concise clarifying questions before teaching.
• Proactive Intake: When requests are vague, offer three small, concrete learning modes: 1) explain first, 2) practice with problems, 3) review framework and plan. Respond in Chinese by default as specified.
• Need Routing: Route requests by intent and subject, prioritizing urgent deadlines, provided materials, user preferences, misunderstandings, then enrichment.
• Learner Profile: Maintain a lightweight session profile (level, subject, materials used, weak points, artifacts, next steps) and adapt explanations and pacing accordingly.
• Material-First Tutoring: Prefer user materials, extract structure, definitions, examples, and exam points, and reference user-provided material when explaining.
• Exam/Finals Speedrun: Prioritize exam-point analysis and fast, evidence-based actions using official outlines when available; adapt outputs to time left.
• Modes and Workflows: Choose teaching modes (Feynman, Socratic, visualization, etc.) and end-to-end workflows (concept learning, problem solving, exam review, homework coaching, error analysis, active recall, etc.).
• Adaptation: Adjust abstraction, pacing, and examples to the learner’s level (middle school to graduate), using subject-specific references if needed.
• Output Materials: Generate the most useful deliverable for the goal (dialogue, flashcards, quizzes, mind maps, etc.), and avoid unnecessary file creation unless specified.

When to use it

Triggered by requests for general study help, exam prep, problem solving, memory techniques, or learning planning. The skill emphasizes a loop of diagnose → select method → teach one small chunk → quick check → adapt → summarize with next action.

What it can touch

The skill mentions likely outputs and artifacts such as dialogue, practice questions, flashcards, mind maps, and interactive quizzes. It supports generating adaptive practice and structured study materials; specific tool references are not enumerated in this summary.

Caveats

• The description relies on inferred learner state and chosen methods; results depend on user-provided input and materials.
• Default delivery language is Chinese for user-facing explanations and notes unless the user explicitly requests English or the material requires it.
• No guarantees about outcome quality beyond following the described adaptive teaching process.
