Learn a New Tool from Its Docs
Added 2026-11-01
Find the shortest working path first, then the edges; do not start at the table of contents.
I need to get productive with a new tool quickly (name and docs link below). Give me a one-hour route: 1) find and run the smallest working example first; 2) list the three core concepts I must understand; 3) point out two sections people skip but should not; 4) give five self-tests that show I understood; 5) list the three most common beginner mistakes; 6) tell me when to read the full docs and when examples are enough.

How to use
学工具的顺序是「跑起来 → 边界 → 细节」，不是从头读到尾。
Try tweaking it
- Ask for one diagnostic question first to locate where you are stuck.
- Replace "explain it" with "give three progressive exercises; correct me after I answer".
What you should get
- A diagnosis of exactly where you are stuck
- A small set of self-checkable exercises
Common mistakes
- Asking it to explain from scratch, and still not knowing where you went wrong.
- Memorising the explanation as the answer, then failing on any variant.
How to check the output
- It names exactly where you are stuck instead of re-explaining everything.
- Exercises are graded and self-checkable.
Where it works
- Good for: diagnosing where you are stuck, then giving the smallest exercise instead of a lecture.
- Watch out: ask it to flag uncertainty rather than memorising a confident but wrong explanation.
