Commands

Type /study-coach and a command. You can also ask in normal words.

Command	Use it when
`today`	You want to know what to do now
`log`	You finish a block or a day
`status`	You want to know your progress
`check <concept>`	You want to test what you know
`adapt <change>`	You want to change the plan
`share`	You want to write a post
`capture <item>`	You want to save an idea, article, or book
`review`	The week ends (usually Sunday)
`init <file>`	You start a new plan
`online`	You want a web page that shows your progress. See Go online.
`/study-planner <goal>`	You have no plan yet. This is a separate skill. See Make a plan.

If you give no command, the coach uses today.

today

If reviews are due, the coach offers a 5–10 minute review first.
It shows the tasks for today, with times. The list fits on one screen.
It tells you where owed items go. It does not add them to today, unless today is the catch-up day.
If today has a Post item, it suggests a topic.
It ends with one action to do now.

log

Tell the coach what you did and how many hours.
The coach ticks only the items that you confirm.
It writes the Done, Blocked, and Tomorrow lines.
If an item says "explain" or "from memory", the coach asks a quick question first.
It updates course and book progress. Then it tells you your pace.
If you set up online, it saves your files and updates your web page.

status

The coach gives 8 lines or less. Then it gives one recommendation:

Ahead: it names the win. It suggests more depth, not future work.
Behind: it gives the numbers. It suggests a scope cut that keeps the deliverable for this week.
On track: one line, and the next step.

capture

idea: The coach adds one line to ideas/inbox.md.
article: The coach makes a notes file. Then it asks 2–3 questions about the article.

It decides on the proposals that wait, and it sorts the idea inbox.
It clears the catch-up list.

It offers to write a weekly post.

init

The coach saves your plan as curriculum/plan.md.
It asks for the start date, hours, goal, and other settings.
It writes STUDY.md.
It makes one day file for each day, and all other files.
It asks if you want an online progress page.
It shows the today view.

online

The coach checks that git and gh are installed.
You make a free GitHub account and sign in. The coach tells you each step.
The coach makes the repo, adds the web page, and turns on GitHub Pages.
After that, each log saves your files and updates the page.
