Study Any Topic

When to use this skill

• Learning a new subject topic before an exam or class
• Revising a topic that the textbook made confusing
• Preparing viva or oral exam answers on a topic

Workflow

1. Ask (or infer) the level: school, undergraduate, or interview. Teach at that level, not above it.
2. Explain in this order: one-line simple meaning, real-life example, the proper definition and terms, how it actually works step by step, one common misunderstanding corrected.
3. Use one analogy maximum, and say where the analogy stops being accurate.
4. After the explanation, generate a 5-question quiz that tests understanding, not memorisation of your exact words. Mix: 2 concept, 2 application, 1 trap question.
5. Give answers only after the questions, in a separate section, each with a one-line why.
6. Finish with 5 flashcards (front: question, back: 2-line answer) the user can copy into any notes app, and a 3-bullet remember-this-for-the-exam summary.

Rules - never break these

• Simple words first, technical terms second, with the term named so the student recognises it in the exam.
• If you are unsure of a fact, say so instead of filling the gap smoothly. A confident wrong explanation is the worst study outcome.
• Do not write the student assignment for them in this skill - teach and test. Writing research help belongs to assignment-researcher, with sources.

Output format

• In one line - the simple meaning
• Real-life example
• Proper explanation - terms + how it works
• Common mistake - what most students get wrong
• Quiz - 5 questions, answers in a separate section with reasons
• Flashcards - 5 Q/A pairs
• Remember this - 3 exam bullets

Example

User: Explain public key cryptography, I am a 2nd year CS student, viva next week.

Good output (excerpt): One-liner: Anyone can lock a box for you, only you have the key to open it. Quiz includes the trap: If someone has your public key, can they decrypt your messages? No - that is the trap most vivas are built on.
