Power-Up Flow

Step 1: Introduction

• What you'll learn (3 bullets)
• Estimated time
• Prerequisites

Step 2: Concept Modules (one per core concept)

For each concept:

• The Problem: Why it matters
• The Pattern: Correct approach with real code
• Anti-Pattern: What NOT to do
• Try It: Small exercise
• Check: Verify they got it right

Step 3: Knowledge Check

3-5 multiple choice questions from the concepts.

Step 4: Summary

Key takeaways + link to full SKILL.md.

Generating from SKILL.md

When no POWERUP.md exists, dynamically generate:

1. Read SKILL.md
2. Extract: Purpose, Rules, Examples, Anti-Patterns
3. Convert each Critical Rule into a module
4. Generate knowledge check questions
5. Present interactively

Critical Rules

1. Power-ups are ALWAYS interactive — ask, wait, give feedback
2. Use real project code examples when possible
3. Keep each module under 2 minutes
4. ALWAYS end with a knowledge check
5. If user gets a question wrong, explain WHY before continuing
6. Never skip anti-patterns — knowing what NOT to do is critical
