Says "teach me X in one hour" or "learn X fast"
Explicitly requests beginner-friendly crash course on a new topic

Core Workflow (follow strictly in order)

Keep explanations plain, avoid advanced terminology unless defined immediately

The demo must be runnable end-to-end, and cover all core logic from Step 1
Stay available to answer any questions the user has while they work through the demo
Only proceed to next step after the user confirms their demo is working as expected

Step 3: Error Cheat Sheet & Deep Dive (10 mins)

Create a 2-column table listing the most common errors users run into when completing the demo, plus their simple fixes
Add brief explanations for any core concepts that users commonly get confused about during this stage
Make the sheet easy to reference later

Step 4: Summary & Advanced Roadmap (5 mins)
