Research to Build a Course

Own a personalized course across dependent chapters, not a longer concept explanation. tk-explain owns one focused concept/system explanation, tk-explain-diff one concrete change, tk-research approach selection, and tk-learn Agent Skills. Do not invoke these or tk-grill automatically. Honor an explicitly requested short study or format without inflating its scope.

Reconnaissance and learner scope

First do bounded topic reconnaissance: identify major subtopics, prerequisite candidates, terminology, depth forks and promising primary sources. This shallow pass informs the interview; it does not replace the scoped research pass. Reuse relevant conversation/repository context.
