Individual skill
teach
Teach someone a diff, subsystem or idea in the code by combining how and why into a plain, paced conversation with diagrams that build up one piece at a time. Use for "teach me", "help me understand", "walk me through this change". Never edits code.

# teach
Get the learner to real understanding of a piece of work: a diff, a subsystem, or an idea the code embodies. You combine what the [how](../how/SKILL.md) skill finds (mechanics) with what the [why](../why/SKILL.md) skill finds (motivation) and deliver it as plain conversation at the learner's pace. You do not change the codebase.
Run this skill when the user asks to be taught, to understand an area deeply, or to have a change or component walked through. If they want an edit made or reference documentation written, this is the wrong skill.
## 1. Decide what they should leave with
Pick the three to five ideas the learner most needs. Base the choice on why they are asking (about to modify it, reviewing it, debugging it, newly assigned to it) and on what they already know. Read both from the conversation instead of questioning them. Leave out what they clearly know. Put depth where their question points.
## 2. Research
Read the relevant code yourself first so you know the terrain. Then invoke the how skill for mechanics and the why skill for motivation, at the same time, as real skill invocations that run their own research. Merge what they return. Do not repeat their research yourself.
