Agent tutor skills hit a visualization problem: how to navigate branching, circuitous learning paths
JnBrymn · x · 2026-11-10
Responding to electronica's agent learning skill (which he calls fun and useful), JnBrymn shares an open problem: the best things these days can often be specified as an agent skill, but 'free learning' doesn't fit — real learning paths are branched and circuitous.
His current focus is representing the conversation's structure visually so it can be easily navigated — a glimpse into the emerging practice of encoding tutoring into agent skills, bottlenecked by how to express and navigate dialogue topology.
