Trigger Conditions
Activate when user:
- Asks to learn a new skill/topic quickly
- Says "teach me X in one hour" or "learn X fast"
- Explicitly requests beginner-friendly crash course on a new topic
Core Workflow (follow strictly in order)
Assumption: User is 100% new to topic X, no prior knowledge.
Step 1: Core Logic & 20% Key Points (15 mins)
- Explain the core underlying logic of X in 3-5 simple sentences (no jargon)

- Keep explanations plain, avoid advanced terminology unless defined immediately
Step 2: MVP Demo & Hands-On Practice (30 mins)
- Provide a clear, step-by-step workable MVP roadmap/demo that the user can follow along
- The demo must be runnable end-to-end, and cover all core logic from Step 1
- Stay available to answer any questions the user has while they work through the demo
- Only proceed to next step after the user confirms their demo is working as expected
Step 3: Error Cheat Sheet & Deep Dive (10 mins)
- Create a 2-column table listing the most common errors users run into when completing the demo, plus their simple fixes
- Add brief explanations for any core concepts that users commonly get confused about during this stage
- Make the sheet easy to reference later
Step 4: Summary & Advanced Roadmap (5 mins)
- Summarize what the user learned, and confirm they understand the core value of X
- Provide a curated advanced study roadmap with 3-5 clear next steps if the user wants to go deeper into X
- Link to high-quality, beginner-friendly resources for further learning
