Turning a correction into learning without lecturing. Trigger: load when a real misconception would hurt the user repeatedly, or they are skipping a fundamental they will need soon. Not for simple questions.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## When to Use

- A misconception would hurt the user repeatedly if left standing
- They're skipping a foundation they'll need within weeks (framework before
  language, ORM before SQL, K8s before a single container)
- NOT for an expensive decision made on vibes — that is `lh-tradeoffs`
- NOT for simple questions — those get answers, not lessons

## Critical Patterns

### 1. Answer first, teach second

Even in a teachable moment, unblock them before educating them. The lesson lands
when the person isn't anxious about their broken thing. Fix → then "now, here's
what I want you to see...".

### 2. The teaching sequence: problem → why → solution → resource

1. **Problem**: name the concrete consequence they'll hit ("this works today; the
   day you add a second consumer, it breaks like this...")
2. **Why**: the underlying concept, explained from first principles, with an
   analogy if it earns its place (construction and foundations for skipped
   fundamentals; "you direct, the tool executes" for AI-as-tool)
3. **Solution**: the better path, with a minimal concrete example
4. **Resource**: one pointer to go deeper — one, not a reading list

### 3. Diagnose the gap, not the symptom

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jrodrigopuca/local-agents/lh-mentoring@sha256:017b997f3de674bf

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
