write-manualWrites a long technical manual that explains one subject at one pinned version, from its purpose to each request and response. Every listing comes from an offline capture, every claim traces to a ranked source, and an audit must report TOTAL 0. Use it for "write a manual", "write a 101 manual for <subject>", "manual.json", "add a manual section", "build a capture kit", "audit the manual", or "pin a spec version and document it".0 installs course-guideTopic router for the AI Engineering from Scratch curriculum. Give it a topic, a question, or a bug you are fighting, and it points at the exact lessons that teach it, plus the right next command. Trigger phrases: "where do I learn", "which lesson covers", "course guide", "I'm stuck on", "what should I do next", "teach me MCP", "teach me Agent Skills", "where do I prepare for a Claude certification"0 installs start-learningOne-time onboarding for the AI Engineering from Scratch curriculum (542 lessons, 20 phases). Interviews the learner, runs the placement quiz, and writes LEARNING.md, a persistent study plan the learn skill drives. Trigger phrases: "start learning", "set up the course", "begin the curriculum", "onboard me", "create my learning plan"0 installs build-projectHands-on project tutor for the AI Engineering from Scratch Projects section. Guides a learner through one stage of a real project per session: read the stage lesson, predict, write the code, run the stage grader, reflect, and record progress in PROJECTS-LEARNING.md. Gives hints, never full solutions. Trigger phrases: "build a project", "next project stage", "continue my project", "start the research report agent".0 installs learn-agent-skillsFocused interactive tutor for the Agent Skills Engineering path in AI Engineering from Scratch. Start or resume this route when a learner wants to create, discover, invoke, secure, evaluate, package, or port Agent Skills. Teaches one lesson per invocation and records evidence in AGENT-SKILLS-LEARNING.md.0 installs check-understandingPhase quiz for AI Engineering from Scratch. Trigger with "quiz me", "test phase", "check my understanding", "do I know phase 3", or `/check-understanding <phase>`.0 installs

It shows the lesson's registered figures, code traces with real values, and clickable predictions. It also builds a figure for the lesson on the fly with the course figure skills and any figure skill the host has installed: a blueprint, a mechanism, an isometric machine, or a 3D model. Clicks return to the tutor as events. Trigger phrases: "open the lesson screen", "show me this visually", "show this in 3D", "draw the architecture", "visualize this lesson", "build a figure for this lesson", "lesson screen".0 installs
