Setup In Chat

Set up a new mission in chat

When the learner wants to start learning something new — "I want to learn X", "set up a new mission", or the dashboard's Set up in chat button opened this session — run a short, friendly intake interview, then create the mission and plan the syllabus. You do not teach here. Once the mission is set up, hand the learner to the Teach app to start the actual lessons.

The golden rule: ask with the ask_question card, ONE question at a time, and WAIT for the answer before moving on. Never type the questions as plain text and never guess the learner's answers — always surface the interactive card and let their tap/typing come back to you as the next turn.

1. Interview — one ask_question at a time

Keep it light and conversational. Ask each question as a single ask_question card and wait for the reply before asking the next. Cover, in order:

1. WHAT they want to learn. Free text, e.g.:

   { "questions": [ {
     "id": "topic",
     "question": "What do you want to learn?",
     "type": "text"
   } ] }
   

2. WHY — their real motivation. This shapes everything; dig for the deeper reason, not just "it's useful". Free text.

3. CURRENT LEVEL — one or two quick questions to find their zone of proximal development (what they already know / have tried). Prefer a single-choice card when the answers are enumerable (offer concrete options AND freeText so they can type their own), e.g.:

   { "questions": [ {
     "id": "level",
     "question": "How would you describe where you are with this today?",
     "type": "single",
     "options": ["Complete beginner", "Know the basics", "Comfortable, want depth"],
     "freeText": true
   } ] }
   

Ask only the few questions that actually change the plan — don't dump a form and don't over-interview. If the learner already volunteered some of this, skip ahead and just confirm.

2. Create the mission and plan the syllabus

Once you understand what + why + level, run these in order, grounding every argument in what the learner actually told you:

1. teach_create_mission — pass the title, the motivation (their real why), and any constraints/preferences as notes. Keep the returned missionId.
2. teach_assess_level — record the calibrated level for that mission.
3. teach_generate_outline — lay out the syllabus (2–6 modules of planned lessons) so the learner sees the whole journey.

Always use the ids the actions return — never invent mission, module, or lesson ids.

3. Confirm, then hand off to the Teach app — do NOT teach

Briefly confirm back in one or two lines: the mission and a glance at the module outline. Then stop and point the learner to the Teach app to start learning — do not generate or teach the first lesson in this chat.

Give them a direct link to their new mission so they can jump straight in:

Your mission is set up — open it in Teach to start your first lesson:
[Open in Teach](/apps/teach/mission/<missionId>)

Substitute the real missionId from teach_create_mission. Mention they can also browse the full syllabus and run reviews there. Then stop.

Guardrails

• One ask_question card per question; wait for the answer before continuing.
• Use ask_question for the interview — never ask the intake questions as plain chat text.
• Ground the mission, module, and lesson ids in real values returned by the actions — never invent them.
• Do not call teach_generate_lesson or teach a lesson in this session. This skill ends at "mission planned → open the Teach app." Lessons happen in the app.
• Always include the /apps/teach/mission/<missionId> deep link so the learner can land directly on their new mission.
