Frustrated with existing learning platforms, they designed a system with three modes: guided (Socratic questioning), solo (independent project work), and debug (production-like troubleshooting scenarios). The tool tracks progression, adjusts difficulty, and was initially built for Azure certification prep. The technical stack uses FastMCP, Anthropic's SDK, dotenv, and JSON for progress tracking. The post focuses on design philosophy and prompt engineering challenges, with code walkthrough and future plans promised in subsequent parts. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
