Run the explain, inspect, repair loop

Explaining a concept gives readers vocabulary. Inspecting an artifact gives them evidence. Repairing a failure gives them agency.

For prompt reliability, the artifact might be a bad answer. For tool safety, it might be a dry-run plan. For verification, it might be a citation that points near the claim but not under it.

The loop should end with an AHA checkpoint: what changed in how the reader sees the model, not just what command they copied.

Aha moment

Readers remember a concept when they see the mechanism, inspect evidence, and repair a failure themselves.

Try this

Frame one topic with three beats: explain the mechanism, inspect a concrete artifact, then repair the broken part.

Watch for

  • Slides that explain without giving readers an artifact to inspect
  • Live demos with no repair step
  • Repairs that happen silently in the guide's head
