Tutorial Engineer

This one's built for developers who need to turn code into actual teaching material, not just documentation. It pushes you through a structured process: define measurable learning objectives, decompose concepts into atomic chunks, then build progressive exercises using the "I do, we do, you do" pattern. The retention shortcuts table and cognitive load heuristics are genuinely useful, like the 7±2 rule for new concepts per section and the reminder to show expected output every 3-5 steps. It's opinionated about structure (readers should be coding within 2 minutes) and comes with specific patterns for different exercise types. Use it when you're writing onboarding docs, technical blog posts, or course content where people need to actually learn, not just reference.

Tutorial Engineer

Turn a specific codebase or feature into a progressive, hands-on tutorial. Preserve the useful teaching sequence: show a worked example, guide practice, then give an independent challenge.

When to Use

Explain code through a tutorial, onboarding exercise, workshop or cookbook recipe.
Convert a feature into a learning path with measurable outcomes and checkpoints.
Improve a tutorial whose setup, pacing or examples prevent readers from finishing.

Use reference-documentation workflows for exhaustive API listings and marketing workflows for promotional copy.

Inputs and Scope

Resolve the topic/source code, audience’s prerequisite knowledge, desired outcome, runtime/version, format and time constraint. Infer available facts from the request; ask only essential unanswered questions. State assumptions. Do not invent exact completion times or performance/retention improvements. Use the project’s actual supported environment, rather than installing the latest release by default.
