## What it does

Give it a topic — a language or a concept — and it explains the thing the way you would to someone just starting out. Examples come from Codeacademy and NetworkChuck. Code is wrapped in Markdown blocks with the syntax spelled out.

The output is locked to five sections: IDEAS, RECOMMENDATIONS, HABITS, FACTS, INSIGHTS. Every bullet is exactly 16 words. IDEAS needs at least 25 entries, INSIGHTS at least 10, the rest at least 20. Bullets are unordered, and repeats or shared opening words are not allowed.

The prompt is strict: no warnings, no notes, only the requested sections. That is a problem if you want a loose format or a short answer, because you will have to edit the prompt text yourself. In the Fabric repo it ships as the file `.claude/commands/coding_master.md`.
