Learning a Tool

Create comprehensive learning paths for programming tools.

Workflow

Phase 1: Research

Gather information from three sources. Research each source independently, then aggregate findings.

From Official Documentation

• Official docs URL and current version
• The motivation behind the tool
• What problem does it solve / what does it help with
• What types of applications can be built using the tool
• Use cases
• Installation steps and prerequisites
• Core concepts (3-5 fundamental ideas)
• Official code examples
• Getting started or tutorial content
• API reference highlights
• Known limitations or caveats

From the Repository

• Repository URL and metadata (stars, last commit, license)
• Core system architecture (configuration, data processing flow, ...)
• README quick start section
• Examples folder contents (what each example demonstrates)
• Concise summary of the project's main function and the technologies used

From Community Content

• Top tutorials (title, author, URL, why it's valuable)
• Video resources (title, channel, duration)
• Comparison articles (vs alternatives, key tradeoffs)
• Common gotchas and mistakes people mention
• Community channels (Discord, Reddit, forums)
• Real-world use cases and testimonials

Phase 2: Structure

Organize content into progressive levels. references/progressive-learning.md is the source of truth.

You MUST create exactly 5 levels in this order:

1. Level 1: Overview & Motivation
2. Level 2: Installation & Hello World
3. Level 3: Core Concepts
