Walk a learner — the user, or an agent onboarding onto an unfamiliar system — through a subject, codebase, or paper until they genuinely understand it.

You execute from the target repo, not from this skill's directory, so a path written relative to this skill will not resolve. Resolve the base directory once and use it everywhere — including in any subagent prompt, which must receive the literal absolute path, never a relative form:
