CRITICAL: ALWAYS activate this skill BEFORE making ANY changes to .nw files. Use proactively when: (1) creating, editing, reviewing, or improving any .nw file, (2) planning to add/modify functionality in files with .nw extension, (3) user asks about literate quality, (4) user mentions noweb, literate programming, tangling, or weaving, (5) working in directories containing .nw files, (6) creating new modules/files that will be .nw format. Trigger phrases: 'create module', 'add feature', 'update', 'modify', 'fix' + any .nw file. Never edit .nw files directly without first activating this skill to ensure literate programming principles are applied. (project, gitignored)
skill-management
IMPORTANT: Activate this skill BEFORE modifying any skill in ~/.claude/skills/. Guide for creating, updating, and maintaining Claude Code skills following best practices. Use proactively when: (1) creating a new skill, (2) modifying an existing skill in ~/.claude/skills/, (3) user requests to create, improve, update, review, or refactor a skill, (4) discussing skill quality or effectiveness. Always commit skill changes to the skills git repository after making modifications.
try-first-tell-later
Structure educational content using try-first-tell-later pedagogy where students predict, attempt, or reflect before receiving explanations. Creates active learning through cognitive engagement and variation theory's contrast patterns. Use when writing educational materials, designing exercises, creating lecture notes, structuring tutorials, writing teaching examples with LaTeX/Beamer, developing problem sets, or when user mentions try-first, predict-first, productive failure, Socratic method, question-before-answer, exercise-driven learning, or inquiry-based teaching.
variation-theory
Apply variation theory of learning to structure instructional content using contrast, generalization, and fusion patterns. Variation must target the critical aspects of the learning objective. Use when writing educational materials, explanations, tutorials, literate programming documentation (.nw files), or when user mentions variation theory, learning theory, pedagogy, or critical aspects of learning. Works alongside the literate-programming skill for .nw files.
