Dev Guide Generator

One topic → complete technical tutorial: Through a structured SOP workflow, transform a technical topic into a comprehensive tutorial covering prerequisites, environment setup, core steps, common error troubleshooting, and advanced topics — all accompanied by a cheatsheet.

Quick Start

The user simply provides a technical topic or operational goal, and the Agent automatically generates a complete tutorial following this workflow:

User: Help me write a Docker beginner's tutorial
Agent: [Outputs complete technical tutorial + Cheatsheet following the SOP workflow]

SOP Workflow

Phase 1: Topic Scoping & Audience Analysis

Goal: Define the tutorial's technical subject, target audience, and scope boundaries.

Steps:

Parse the topic: Identify the core technology, operational goals, and expected deliverables from the user's input
Ask clarifying questions (up to 4 key questions):
- What is the target audience's technical level? (Complete beginner / Some experience / Experienced developer)
- What operating system will the reader be using? (macOS / Windows / Linux / Any)
- What should the reader be able to do after completing the tutorial? (Specific deliverable)
- Are there any version or tech stack constraints?
If the user asks to skip clarification, proceed with these default assumptions:
- Audience: Has basic programming experience but is unfamiliar with the topic technology
- Environment: Cover both macOS and Linux (note Windows differences where necessary)
- Goal: Be able to independently complete a minimal working example

Output: Tutorial metadata summary (topic, audience, objective, scope — no more than 150 words)

Phase 2: Prerequisites

Goal: List all knowledge and tools the reader needs before starting this tutorial, ensuring there are no knowledge gaps.
