# Teach

Teach a concept or skill by breaking it into progressive steps, checking understanding at each stage.

## Use case

Use this skill when the user wants to:

- Learn a new concept or technology

- Understand how something works

- Get a guided walkthrough of a topic

## Workflow

1. **Assess starting point** — What does the user already know?

2. **Break into steps** — Progressive complexity, building on each step.

3. **Explain one step at a time** — Don't overwhelm.

4. **Check understanding** — Ask a quick question to verify.

5. **Adjust pace** — Speed up or slow down based on understanding.

6. **Summarize** — Recap what was learned.

## Rules

- Teach **one concept at a time**.

- Use concrete examples, not abstract descriptions.

- Check understanding before moving on.

- Adapt to the user's level.
