That's it. The /setup command creates your personal profile and walks you through the rest.

Commands

Command	What It Does
/setup	Create your learner profile (run once)
/quiz	Interactive multiple-choice quiz, adapts to your weak areas
/study [topic]	Tutoring mode — e.g., /study mcp, /study hooks, /study batch api
/flashcards	Rapid-fire Q&A drill
/weak-spots	Diagnostic: 10 hard questions + readiness report
/cheat-sheet	Quick reference of key numbers, decision trees, anti-patterns
/save-progress	Run at end of every session — persists what you learned

How the Adaptive System Works

/setup → creates profile/learner.md (your strengths, weaknesses, progress)
   ↓
/quiz or /study or /flashcards → reads your profile → personalizes questions
   ↓
/save-progress → analyzes session → updates profile with scores, mastered/struggling concepts
   ↓
Next session → reads updated profile → targets your actual weak spots

Your profile/ directory is gitignored — each person gets their own.
