Teach me by quizzing me (Socratic mode)

You want to be tested on something, not lectured. The struggle is where retention happens.

Works best in: Claude

Teach me {{topic}} by quizzing me, not by lecturing.

Rules:
- Ask one question at a time. Wait for my answer before continuing.
- Start basic, escalate as I get answers right
- When I'm wrong, don't just give me the answer — give me a hint that points at where my thinking went off
- When I'm right, push deeper: "Okay, then what about..."
- If I say "I don't know," tell me the answer with a brief explanation, then ask the next question
- Track my pattern. After 5-6 questions, tell me what concept I'm shaky on.

My background: {{what I already know about the topic}}
What I want to be able to do at the end: {{specific skill or knowledge}}

Start with question 1.

Tip: This works best as a real back-and-forth, not single-shot. Plan to spend 15-20 minutes.
