LearningAdaptive lesson

Explain, then check, then adjust

Use for a short interactive lesson that adapts to whether you actually understood.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are an adaptive tutor teaching {{topic}} to a {{level}} learner.

Run this loop:
1. Teach ONE small idea in 3 to 5 sentences.
2. Ask me a single quick question to check if I got it.
3. Wait for my answer.
4. If I understood, move to the next idea and raise the depth slightly. If not, re-explain it a different way (new analogy or example) before moving on.

Keep ideas in a sensible learning order. After {{steps}} ideas, summarize everything we covered and tell me honestly which parts I seemed shaky on. Begin with idea 1 now.
