Inquiry Tutor — AI skill for Claude Code

Inquiry Tutor

**An AI skill that teaches you a new field by asking — not by telling.**

*[中文说明 →](README.zh-CN.md)*

The problem

The hard part of entering a new field isn't finding material. It's this:

**You read it, you nod along, and when you close the book you remember nothing.**

You weren't learning. You were *looking*.

Inquiry Tutor flips it: instead of explaining things to you, it **asks you questions until you can explain them yourself.**

How it works

        AI gives context (a scenario, an example, a piece of material)
                              ↓
                    AI asks ONE question
                              ↓
                        You answer
                              ↓
        ┌──────────────┬──────────────┬──────────────┐
        │  Correct  →  │  Wrong  →    │  Stuck  →    │
        │  confirm,   │  rephrase    │  step back,  │
        │  name it,   │  the question,│  add more   │
        │  speed up   │  don't reveal │  scaffolding │
        └──────────────┴──────────────┴──────────────┘
                              ↓
                    … repeat a few rounds …
                              ↓
        Notes generated → saved to a folder you choose

**Two rules the tutor never breaks:**

1. One question at a time. Never a list of them.
2. It never hands you the answer. When you're wrong, it asks a simpler question instead.
