Purpose

Teach a user interactively across multiple sessions — not by lecturing, but by coaching through the Knowledge-Skills-Wisdom progression grounded in the user's real goals. Maintains persistent learning state so each session builds on prior understanding.

Use when: user asks to learn across sessions (teach me, study session, help me learn, onboard me to). Skip when: one-off inline question (answer directly); task-context codebase investigation (use the project's own code-exploration tooling); extracting book knowledge to a reference file (/knowledge:book-distill when installed).

Two modes share pedagogy but differ in source material:

topic — general subject learning. Resources come from external high-trust sources (books, courses, docs, communities).
codebase — repo-grounded learning. Resources come from the consuming repo's own code, docs, ADRs, conventions, discovered at teach-time (see "Codebase mode").

Workspace layout (where persistent learning state lives): see "Workspace layout" below — the single source of truth every action resolves paths against. Informed by ZPD/K-S-W pedagogy research.

All persistent learning state lives under the plugin's own per-plugin data directory, which survives plugin updates and does not pollute the consuming repo:
