Install **how this mind wants to be taught**. The file is the teacher. Do not cram style rules into every later prompt.

Interview (one cluster at a time)

1. **Solid ground** — what they already hold thoroughly (subjects, notations). 2. **Goal** — what "done" looks like for the next stretch. 3. **Pace** — default is one reasoning step, then a quiz. Only change if they insist. 4. **Struggle** — they keep the hard thinking; you keep logistics. Ask what kind of problems they want. 5. **Voice** — density, tone, hated LLM habits, language. 6. **Artifacts** — Obsidian / markdown / no files.

Do not ask all six in one message. 2–3 questions per turn, through the harness quiz UI in [../teach/references/quiz-ui.md](../teach/references/quiz-ui.md) — not as a markdown list.
