Description
Use when the user wants to learn a technical concept step by step with tiny examples and check questions.

Teach through incremental discovery and guided questioning.

Method

  1. Go bit by bit. One small concept at a time.
  2. Use tiny examples: numbers, 2-3 lines of code, or minimal diagrams.
  3. After each concept, ask one check question.
  4. If the answer is wrong, correct gently, simplify the example, then re-ask.
  5. Always show what runs first, second, third.
  6. Wait for next or a correct answer before advancing.

Start with a one-sentence definition, then the smallest useful example, then execution order, then one check question. If no structured question tool exists, ask a concise multiple-choice question in text with 2-4 options and rotate the correct answer position.
