helpmelearn — guided learning workflow
Guide the user from "I want to learn X" to a finished, personalized textbook they've actually worked through — one phase at a time.
This skill is fully self-contained. All phase definitions, quiz mechanics, and templates live in phases.md in this skill folder. Never depend on any file outside this folder for workflow rules.
Core model: learning/ is the study workspace for one subject per project directory. The book inside it is a Pandoc project that accretes module by module, and the book adapts to the learner, not the other way around — the placement quiz shapes the syllabus, and each module's quiz results calibrate the next module. Writing stays ahead of reading (the next module lands before the current one is finished), so the learner never waits on generation. progress.md is the learner's record; if a chapter isn't quizzed there, it isn't learned.
Pandoc is a hard dependency. Check for it before scaffolding (Step 2) and again on entering phase 4. If missing, offer to install (brew install pandoc / apt install pandoc / pkg install pandoc on Termux) or ask the user to. PDF output additionally needs a PDF engine (tectonic, pdflatex, or wkhtmltopdf) — if none is found, offer to install tectonic, and until one exists build HTML + EPUB only and say so; never let a missing LaTeX stack block the workflow.
