Textbook Anything
Builds a systematic university-level STEM tutorial or textbook that teaches a field, course, topic or focal paper from the reader's starting point, as LaTeX/PDF or offline HTML. Runs a staged agent workflow with a reader interview, lite, standard or deep tiers with one to three review rounds, prerequisite tracing, chapter subagents, derivations, exercises with reasoned solutions, and rendered inspection. Use when the user asks to learn a field from scratch, write a tutorial, textbook, handout or course notes with exercises, teach the prerequisites behind a paper, or turn a syllabus, notes or l

From the SKILL.md
# Textbook Anything Use this skill to turn a starting point (a field, a course, a syllabus, notes, a lecture series or a focal paper) into a tutorial the reader can work through, explain and apply alone. The skill decides what the reader must learn first, teaches it in order, and proves every example and exercise before delivery. ## Goal The deliverable is a tutorial in the agreed format, LaTeX/PDF or offline HTML, with its sources, solutions and code. It must: - start from the reader's actual gaps and trace prerequisites down to the agreed baseline, no lower - contain a complete learning unit in every tier: the problem, the objects, the foundations, the mechanism, a worked example, guided practice, and an independent variation with a reasoned answer - show every decisive step of each derivation, with assumptions and the range of validity - distinguish foundations, inherited methods, the focal contribution, source reports, simulations and actual runs - use figures chosen for a stated explanatory purpose, readable at their final size - contain only exercises the agent has solved, and code the agent has run - complete the tier's review rounds: one for lite, two for standard, three for deep - pass rendered inspection: `scripts/render-audit.mjs` for HTML, page renders for PDF ## Reader Standard
