- Phase folders: `phase-X-short-description/`
- Always lowercase with hyphens

## Execution Steps

### 1. Initialize Learning Context

Run `.specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --require-tasks --include-tasks` from repo root and parse JSON for FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS. All paths must be absolute.

### 2. Determine Learning Scope

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` to identify the target:

- **Phase specified** (e.g., "Phase 3", "US1"): Focus on that phase
- **"latest"**: Teach the most recently completed phase
- **"all"**: Provide a full architecture overview
- **Specific topic** (e.g., "hooks", "database"): Deep dive on that topic
- **Empty**: Ask what they want to learn

### 3. Load Implementation Context

Read from FEATURE_DIR:

- **tasks.md**: What was built, file paths, phase goals
- **spec.md**: User stories and requirements (the "why")
- **plan.md**: Tech stack, architecture decisions (the "how")
- **research.md**: Technical decisions and alternatives considered

Read the actual implementation files for the target phase.

### 4. Generate Learning Path

Create a structured learning journey and **save to `00-overview.md`**:

```markdown
# Learning Path: [Phase Name]

> Generated: [date]
> Phase: [phase number and name]
> Estimated Time: X minutes

## Overview

## Navigation
← [Previous Phase](../phase-X-name/) | [Next Phase](../phase-Y-name/) →

5. Teach Each Module

For each module, create a separate file (e.g., 01-reactive-data-layer.md):

Module File Template (XX-module-name.md)

🎯 LeaObjective

By the end of this module, you'll understand [specific outcome].

📚 Concept Explanation

Start with the WHY before the HOW:

1. The Problem: What problem does this solve?
2. The Solution: How does this approach solve it?
3. The Pattern: What design pattern/principle is used?

Use analogies to make concepts stick:

"Think of [technical concept] like [real-world analogy]..."

💻 Code Walkthrough

Show the actual code with detailed annotations:

// FILE: src/hooks/useProblems.ts
// PURPOSE: Manages problem CRUD operations with reactive updates

// 1. We import useLiveQuery for reactive database subscriptions
//    This is like having a "live wire" to the database
import { useLiveQuery } from 'dexie-react-hooks';

// 2. The hook returns both data AND functions to modify it
//    This pattern is called "state + actions"
export function useProblems(): UseProblemsReturn {
  // 3. useLiveQuery automatically re-runs when DB changes
  //    No manual refreeeded - it's reactive!
  const problems = useLiveQuery(async () => {
    return db.problems.orderBy('createdAt').reverse().toArray();
  });
  
  // ... more code with explanations
}

🔗 How It Connects

Show how this piece fits into the larger picture:

Explain the decision and alternatives:

| Approach | Pros | Cons | Why Chosen/Not |
|----------|------|------|----------------|
| useState | Simple | Manual refresh | ❌ Not reactive |
| useLiveQuery | active | Dexie-specific | ✅ Auto-updates |
| Redux | Powerful | Boilerplate | ❌ Overkill for MVP |

### ✋ Pause & Reflect

Ask thner to think:

> Before continuing, can you answer:
> 1. What would happen if we used useState instead of useLiveQuery?
> 2. Where does the data actually get stored?
> 3. What triggers a re-render when data changes?

### 6. Save Key Concepts Summary

Create `summary.md` with a reference card:

```text
## 📋 Key Concepts Reference Card

### Patterns Used
- **Custom Hooks**: Encapsulate stateful logic (useProblems, useDB)
- **Reactive Queries**: useLiveQuery for auto-updating UI
- **Optimistic UI**: Show changes immediately, persist async

### Technologies
- **Dexie.js**: IndexedDB wrapper for local persistence
- **React Hook Form**: Would be used for complex forms
- **Tailwind CSS**: Utility-first styling

### File Structure
src/
├── hooks/          # Business logic (useProblems)
├── components/     # UI components (ProblemCard)
├── lib/      b, validation)
└── pages/          # Route components (Problems)

### Data Flow
User Action → Component → Hook → Database → Reactive Update → UI

7. Save Knowledge Check

Create knowledge-check.md with quiz questions:

## 🧠 Knowledge Check

### Question 1: Architecture
What pattern does `useProblems` implement?
a) Singleton
b) Custom Hook with state + actions
c) Factory pattern
d) Observer pattern

<details>
<summary>See Answer</summary>
**b) Custom Hctions**

The hook provides both reactive state (`problems`) and functions 
to modify state (`addProblem`, `deleteProblem`). This encapsulates 
all problem-related logic in one reusable unit.
</details>

### Question 2: Data Flow
If you add a problem, what updates the UI without manual refresh?
a) setState in the component
b) useLiveQuery reacts to DB changes
c) Page reload
d) useEffect with dependency

<details>
<summary>See Answer</summary>
**b) useLiveQuery reacts to DB changes**

Dexie's `useLiveQuery` subscribes to database changes. When 
`addProblem` writes to IndexedDB, the query automatically 
re-runs and React re-renders with new data.
</details>

### Question 3: Persistence
Where is the data stored?
a) localStorage
b) Server database
c) IndexedDB (browser)
d) In-memory only

<details>
<summary>See Answer</summary>
**c) IndexedDB (browser)**

Dexie.js uses IndexedDB, a browser-native database that persists 
data even after closing the browser. This enables offline-first 
functionality.
</details>

8. Save Hands-On Exercises

Create exercises.md with practical tasks:

## 🛠️ Practice Exercises

### Exercise 1: Trace the Code (5 min)
Open `src/hooks/useProblems.ts` and find:
1. Where is the database imported from?
2. What fields are set when adding a problem?
3. What is the default status for new problems?

### Exercise 2: Modify and Test (10 min)
Try this modification:
1. In `useProblems.ts`, change the default status to 'attempted'
2. Add a new problem in the UI
3. Observe the status badge color change
4. Revert your change

### Exercise 3: Exp to Rubber Duck (5 min)
Without looking at code, explain out loud:
- How does adding a problem work, from click to persistence?
- What makes the list update automatically?

9. Update Learning Index

Update or create FEATURE_DIR/learning/README.md:

# 📚 Learning Materials Index

> Your personal knowledge base for this project

## Completed Learning Paths

| Phase | Topic | Modules | Time | Status |
|-------|-------|---------|------|--------|
| [Phase 1](./phase-1-setup/| Project Setup | 3 | 15 min | ✅ |
| [Phase 2](./phase-2-foundation/) | Foundation | 5 | 25 min | ✅ |
| [Phase 3](./phase-3-user-story-1/) | Add Problems | 4 | 20 min | ✅ |

## Quick Reference
- [All Summary Cards](./summaries/) - Quick reference for each phase

## How to  Start with the phase overview (`00-overview.md`)
2. Work through modules in order
3. Test yourself with `knowledge-check.md`
4. Practice with `exercises.md`
5. Keep `summary.md` handy for reference

10. Present Learning Session

After saving all files, also display the content interactively in the chat:

1. Show the learning path overview
2. Walk through each module conversationally
3. Ask knowledge check questions
4. Suggest exercises
5. Summarize what was learned

This way you get both:

• Saved files: For future reference
• Interactive session: For immediate learning

11. Session Wrap-up
