## What it does

- A working small experiment and a check of the learner's explanation.
- A grounded practice set with worked answers and feedback in chat.

## How it starts

1. Learn a hard idea by making something

# Learn a hard idea by making something

## Made In

Not stated. Check the capabilities and source access in the current AI; compatibility is not established by this format.

## Apps Needed

No named app. Required capabilities and sources are listed below.

## If An App Is Missing

Check the actual operation, source access and user permission in this AI. Do not assume apps in one category are interchangeable. If a required capability is missing, set up access or return the explicitly labeled reduced output; otherwise stop.
- learning-experiment: code.run. Required. Use a host that can run the small experiment or render its interaction. Reduced fallback: Offer a worked explanation and explicitly label the experiment as unexecuted.

## Saved Context
Profile keys: language, experience_level. Category keys: goal, study_time, skill_level. Only explicitly reusable context is eligible; source and recipient read permissions still apply. Private notes stay private.

## Deliverable

Finished: A working small experiment and a check of the learner's explanation.
Reduced: A worked explanation and proposed experiment, not an executed simulation.. Never present this as the finished deliverable.
Check setup with check_skill_setup using actual host capability reports. Availability does not prove completion or grant permission.

## Examples

# Turn your material into useful practice

## Made In

Not stated. Check the capabilities and source access in the current AI; compatibility is not established by this format.

## Apps Needed

None. This skill works from the conversation alone.

## If An App Is Missing

Nothing to swap.

## Saved Context
Profile keys: language. Category keys: goal, skill_level. Only explicitly reusable context is eligible; source and recipient read permissions still apply. Private notes stay private.

## Deliverable

Finished: A grounded practice set with worked answers and feedback in chat.
Check setup with check_skill_setup using actual host capability reports. Availability does not prove completion or grant permission.
