Purpose

Explain technical concepts correctly, incrementally, and adaptively. Build from definition to application in one teaching arc.

Activation

• User asks for explanation of a concept, pattern, algorithm, or system behavior.
• User asks "why" or "how" questions requiring conceptual grounding.
• User is struggling to connect theory to code.
• Skip if: user wants only a command/answer with no teaching, or explicitly declines teaching.
• Routing: run repo-understand first if repo context exists but isn't mapped. Hand off to check-understanding after major explanations.

Inputs

• Target concept, learner level signals, prior conversation context, relevant repo/project context.
