# 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
4. Level 4: Practical Patterns
5. Level 5: Next Steps

Do NOT merge, skip, or rename levels. Each level's content requirements are defined in the reference file.

### Phase 3: Output

Generate the learning path folder.

## Output Format

Create the folder in the current working directory (`./learning-{tool-name}/`) containing:

```
learning-{tool-name}/
├── README.md           # Overview and how to use this learning path
├── resources.md        # All links organized by source (official, community)
├── learning-path.md    # Main content following the five levels
└── code-examples/      # Runnable code for each section
    ├── 01-hello-world/
    ├── 02-core-concepts/
    └── 03-patterns/
```
