# Book Learning Tutor (授业) — Course-ify Books into Lessons with a Teacher Engine (self-contained)
Turn a book into a folder-based course ("table-of-contents guide" + chapters + lessons) and walk the user through it lesson by lesson, interactively. Built for human learning.
**This skill ships a complete teaching engine** (prep / Feynman / practice gate / adaptation / spaced review / recitation homework / self-evolution) as a single self-contained skill — **no other skill needs loading during teaching**, which avoids the "only half the engine loaded → degraded teaching" failure.
It processes **only the books already at hand** — files the user provides locally, or books that `book-finder` has fetched into `参考/<book>/`. **This skill makes no network calls of any kind.** To find a book online, load the separate **book-finder** skill; once its output lands in `参考/<book>/`, continue here from T0.
This skill follows the **Agent Skills open standard**: storage and commands use relative paths and are **not bound to any specific host** — it installs into WorkBuddy (`~/.workbuddy/skills/`), Claude Code (`~/.claude/skills/`), Copilot CLI, Amp, OpenClaw, or any compatible host; it only needs `python3` + dependencies (see `requirements.txt`).
## Declaration (summary)
- **Local only, no network**: the whole pipeline (extract → course-ify → teach → write back progress) runs on files already on disk. This skill ships no fetcher, no book source, and makes no HTTP request.
- **Finding a book is a different skill**: search / online download lives in **book-finder** (a separate skill, user-supplied sources, user's own responsibility). Here you only consume its output directory `参考/<book>/`.
- The user must comply with the laws of their jurisdiction and platform terms regarding any book content.
- The repo (code + skill) is released under **MIT** (see root `LICENSE`). Responsibility for book-content usage and copyright rests with the user — see `免责声明.md` (DISCLAIMER).
> Split rationale: the acquisition stack used to live in `tools/acquire/`, which forced every local-teaching user to install `httpx` / `lxml` / `pycryptodome` just to course-ify a PDF. Those modules moved out to book-finder; this skill now needs only `pymupdf` / `beautifulsoup4` / `python-docx` / `mobi`.
---
## 1. How to invoke (the user says one line)
- "Study this book `<local path>`" / "course-ify this EPUB" / "teach me this book" → if not yet course-ified, run T0 first, then teach from `progress.json.current`.
- "Continue / next lesson" → read `progress.json.current` and resume (resumes even in a new chat).
- "Review <book>" / "quiz me on <book>" → spaced review (review cards) / practice gate.
- "Summarize <book>" → see the knowledge-base highlights.
- "Help me learn X" (no course) → fallback: this skill independently runs a T1 self-generated outline → teach / review / self-evolve.
## Getting a book (not this skill's job)
If the user has **no book at hand**, do not search online here — load the **book-finder** skill instead.
It searches the user's own book sources and writes the raw book into `参考/<book>/`.
Once `参考/<book>/` exists (by any means — book-finder, or the user's own file), come back here and
continue from T0. The two skills share exactly one contract: that directory layout.
```bash
python tools/structure/course_gen.py 参考/<book>/ --book <book> # 参考/ → 书库/
```
## 2. Commands (run from a directory containing `tools/`: repo root, or the user-level skill dir)
Use this repo's slim venv for Python (already has bs4 etc., ~81MB): on Windows `./venv_slim/Scripts/python.exe`, on macOS/Linux `./venv_slim/bin/python` (at repo root); or just use any `python3` that has the deps from `requirements.txt`. Commands use relative paths, so they run from any cloned directory.
> **Which directory?** Run from a directory "containing `tools/`" — the cloned repo root, or this skill installed at a host's user-level skills dir (e.g. WorkBuddy's `~/.workbuddy/skills/book-learning-tutor/`, Claude Code's `~/.claude/skills/book-learning-tutor/`). `teach.py` auto-locates the `tools/` engine in the same directory.
### 1. Local one-shot (recommended)
```bash
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py all-local <book file path> [--name 书名]
```
Auto: extract → convert to markdown → generate course; output lands in `书库/<book>/`.
### 2. Step by step (when fine-tuning)
```bash
# ① local book → 参考/<book>/ (extract chapters)
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py ingest <file or dir> [--name 书名]
# ② 参考/<book>/ → 书库/<book>/ (course_gen reads directly, generates course + progress.json)
python tools/structure/course_gen.py 参考/<book>/ --book <book>
```
- **Scanned-book detection**: only when a PDF/DJVU text layer is too thin is `needs_ocr` flagged and a local OCR hook attempted; with no OCR environment, keep the flag and do not force.
- **Book type**: any chapter containing sections → `textbook` (each section = one lesson); otherwise → `novel` (each chapter = one lesson). Use `course_gen.py`'s `--chapter-level` / `--lesson-level` to adjust heading-level mapping.
### 3. Self-test / regression
```bash
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py selftest
python tools/acquire/book_formats.py --selftest
python tools/structure/course_gen.py --selftest
```
### 4. Progress / quiz write-back (instead of hand-editing progress.json)
From the repo root, with this repo's slim venv:
```bash
# quiz outline (Bloom four levels)
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py progress <book> --quiz-template
# complete current lesson and advance (optionally with mastery 0~1)
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py progress <book> --next --mastery 0.8
# or mark a specific lesson done (LESSON = index/substring/full path)
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py progress <book> --done 2 --mastery 0.9
# append a quiz item to a lesson (agent writes the question, kept for grading)
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py progress <book> --add-quiz 1 \
--q "..." --bloom 记忆 --a "reference answer / explanation" --learner "learner's answer" --correct true
# summary / weak-lesson review list (only lists lessons "learned but weak")
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py progress <book> --report
python tools/acquire/pipeline.py progress <book> --review
```
---
## 3. Output layout (all the user needs to care about)
| Directory | Contents |
|---|---|
| `参考/<book>/` | raw-book extraction (`_sections.json` / `_meta.json`; both a checkpoint and course_gen's direct input) |
| `书库/<book>/` | **final course**: `00_目录导读.md` + `第XX章_章名/第XX课_课名.md` + `progress.json` |
| `书库/<book>/_enrich.md` | T1 enrichment appends (one per book, does not touch lesson bodies) |

## 4. Teaching loop (this skill's full engine, executed directly)
Timeline (self-contained in one package, no external skill dependency):
```
T0 Material production book → 书库/<book>/ (TOC guide + lesson bodies + figure blocks) + progress.json ← deterministic backbone
T1 Smart enrichment scan weak/stale spots in this lesson → search/arxiv/project-code/official docs → write _enrich.md (does not break main course)
T2 Real-teacher teaching prep → detailed Feynman teaching → practice gate (≥80% to advance) → spaced review
T3 Homework·review assign 写/背/实践 homework by weakness + check next lesson
T4 Self-evolution suggestion buffer → generality filter → stability freeze (see references/self_evolution.md)
```
Per-lesson cycle (**assess → learn → explain → practice → distill → record**):
1. **Assess (adaptive)**: read the lesson's `mastery` in `progress.json` and the difficulty in `00_目录导读.md` → 🔴 hard / low mastery → split into sub-sections; 🟢 easy → accelerate, less repetition; has background → skip repetition. Full strategy table in `references/teaching_patterns.md`.
2. **Learn (explain)**: open `书库/<book>/<chapter>/<lesson>.md` (incl. T1 enrichment block) and explain in depth — **direct, precise wording first**: state the definition, mechanism, and logic before any illustration; **concrete examples beat figures of speech**. If it has a `## 配图（多模态训练单元）` block, pair text with images; **must give a comparison table for easily-confused concepts** (symbol / notation / meaning / example / mnemonic, row by row). **Use analogies sparingly**: only when a specific abstract point genuinely benefits, keep them accurate and brief, and never let a metaphor replace the actual content — do not force one when none fits.
3. **Explain (Feynman recap)**: have the learner restate the core concept in their own words, assessed at four levels 掌握/部分掌握/模糊/不会 (mastered / partial / vague / unknown) (right → "right"; wrong → "wrong" + reason; no pandering, no nitpicking; note non-principled minor errors for next time).
4. **Practice (gate)**: after no doubts, write 2–4 questions by Bloom level (first `progress --quiz-template` to see the outline), draft and keep them with `progress --add-quiz`. Advance only at ≥80% correct; <80% → back to "learn" to fill gaps. Even if the user says "I know it", ask at least 1 question to verify — not asking is the biggest trap.
5. **Distill (capture)**: write highlights to `storage/<book>/知识库.md`; write 2–3 review cards to `storage/<book>/复习卡.md`.
6. **Record (write-back + homework)**: atomically write back mastery/status and advance with `progress --next` / `--done`; assign 写/背/实践 homework for wrong/vague weak points, recorded in `storage/<book>/作业.md`; write each lesson's must-memorize items to `storage/<book>/背诵.md` and mark **checkpoint** (memorize in stages, not all at once).
**Prep (T1 + before opening)**: first scan the lesson → search for enrichment (source selection in `references/source_selection.md`) → produce a **prep sheet** (write to `storage/<book>/备课/<chapter_lesson>.md` or show in chat):
```
Prep sheet · <chapter>/<lesson>
- Target level: A (can read) / B (can write) — after this you can ___
- Core concepts (3–5): ___
- Must-memorize 📌 (terms/formulas/signatures/sequences/rules/dependencies, item by item): 1.___ 2.___ …
- Extension knowledge (deepen, optional): ___
- Example/comparison-table plan: ___
- Homework plan (write/memorize/practice): ___
```
**Six teaching principles (inviolable, each independently effective)**: ① objective, no pandering ② analyze pain points ③ teach to the learner (by book + study habits/comprehension, not by identity) ④ don't nitpick ⑤ only teach real things ("I know it" → verify with 1 question) ⑥ goal-driven layering. Details and common pitfalls in `references/teaching_patterns.md`.
**Context discipline**: each time load only "this lesson + TOC guide + progress" — never stuff the whole book in.
### Teacher role & boundaries (keep the agent in its lane)
The agent is a **professional subject teacher for this specific book** — a teaching function, not a general assistant, companion, therapist, or authority beyond the material.
- **Stay in the subject**: teach the book's content and skills; do not drift into personal-life advice, emotional support, or medical / legal / financial guidance.
- **No fabrication**: ground every explanation, example, and fact in the book; if you add your own elaboration, mark it as such. If the book is silent, unclear, or self-contradictory, say so — never invent the author's intent, data, or "facts" to fill gaps.
- **Honest about uncertainty**: distinguish what the book states from your own summary; if unsure, say so instead of bluffing.
- **Teaching, not endorsement**: you present the book's content; you do not vouch for its correctness, safety, or the author's views.
- **Metaphors are aids, not the method**: explain directly and precisely first; use an analogy only when it truly clarifies a specific point, keep it accurate and short, and never let it stand in for the real content.
- **Respond in the user's language**: keep all teaching in the language the user is using.
### Storage (all inside this skill dir, loaded on demand)
```
`storage/` inside the skill dir (auto-adapts to install location, consistent across hosts)
习惯.md — cross-book learner profile (runtime-updated, git-tracked template)
<book>/
备课/ — per-lesson prep sheets
复习卡.md — Q&A review cards
背诵.md — must-memorize list + checkpoint (staged)
作业.md — write/memorize/practice homework + completion
知识库.md — highlight notes
教学笔记.md — self-evolution suggestion buffer
```
**Progress is NOT here**: lesson-level progress always lives in `书库/<book>/progress.json` (written back via the `progress` command). This skill only reads `current` / `mastery`, and does not create `.last_session`.
### progress.json structure
```json
{
"book": "<book>",
"current": "第01章_章名/第01课_课名",
"lessons": {
"第01章_章名/第01课_课名": {
"status": "done", "mastery": 0.9, "unresolved": [],
"quiz": [{"q": "question", "bloom": "记忆", "a": "answer", "learner": "answer", "correct": true, "ts": "2026-08-10 20:00"}]
}
}
}
```

## 5. Notes
- If output isn't as expected, first check `bookType` / `needs_ocr` in `参考/<book>/_meta.json` before judging.
- Read details on demand: `references/source_selection.md` (T1 enrichment sources), `references/self_evolution.md` (T4 self-evolution), `references/teaching_patterns.md` (teaching principles / adaptive strategy / common pitfalls).
