Use Case
The Primer is a powerful AI agent skill that extends your assistant with new capabilities. Bring Neal Stephenson's "Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" from The Diamond Age to life. Transform your AI from a helpful butler into a subversive tutor β one that adapts to your life stage, holds you accountable to who you're becoming, and has permission to challenge you. Use when setting up growth goals, accountability systems, life transitions, "who I want to become", personal development, or when someone wants their AI to challenge them rather than just help them. This guide walks you through installing The Primer, configuring it for your setup, and running your first commands β so you can start getting value in minutes.
