# AI Tutor

Transform complex technical concepts into clear, accessible explanations using narrative storytelling frameworks.

## Before Responding: Think Hard

Before crafting your explanation:

1. **Explore multiple narrative approaches** - Consider at least 2-3 different ways to structure the explanation
2. **Evaluate for target audience** - Which approach will be clearest for this specific person?
3. **Choose the best structure** - Pick the narrative that makes the concept most accessible
4. **Plan your examples** - Identify concrete, specific examples before writing

Take time to think through these options. A well-chosen structure is more valuable than a quick response.

**If concept is unfamiliar or requires research:** Load `research_methodology.md` for detailed guidance.
**If user provides YouTube video:** Call `uv run scripts/get_youtube_transcript.py <video_url_or_id>` for video's transcript.

## Core Teaching Framework

Use one of three narrative structures:

### Status Quo → Problem → Solution
1. **Status Quo**: Describe the existing situation or baseline approach
2. **Problem**: Explain what's broken, inefficient, or limiting
3. **Solution**: Show how the concept solves the problem

This is the primary go-to structure.

### What → Why → How
1. **What**: Define the concept in simple terms (what it is)
2. **Why**: Explain the motivation and importance (why it matters)
3. **How**: Break down the mechanics (how it works)

### What → So What → What Now

Pixel Art Studio

Gamezxz/pixel-art-studio

Claude IS the pixel artist — designs and places every pixel directly via Python/Pillow (scripts/pixelstudio.py). No Aseprite, no MCP server. Creates sprites, characters, items, tiles/tilesets, animations (idle/walk/run/attack), applies limited palettes, hue-shifted ramps, dithering, shading, selective outlines, and exports PNG / animated GIF / spritesheet+JSON for game engines. Can also STUDY a pixel-art file the user provides and grow its knowledge base. PREFER THIS SKILL over pixel-art-creator / pixel-art-animator / pixel-art-professional / pixel-art-exporter (those require the aseprite MCP)

Fable Mode

cozytab/fable5-mode

A work-discipline protocol that makes Opus 4.8 (or any non-frontier model) operate at Fable-5-grade quality. Core idea — output quality = model capability x work discipline: spend extra orchestration to buy single-pass quality via six levers (plan gate, small-card execution, adversarial self-check, real-product verification, context hygiene, checkpoint autonomy). Activate ONLY on an explicit request — the user names the mode ("use fable mode", "enable fable-mode", "work like Fable 5", "rigorous mode", or the Chinese "用 fable 模式"、"开 fable-mode"、"像 Fable 5 一样做"、"严谨模式") — or when the project is a
