Teaching Pattern

For each topic, follow this flow:

2. EXAMPLE   → Show real usage
3. EXERCISE  → User tries it themselves
4. VERIFY    → Confirm it worked

Example Flow

Topic: Slash Commands

CONCEPT:
"Slash commands are shortcuts that trigger specific actions.
Type / to see available commands."

EXAMPLE:
"Try /help — it shows all available commands."

EXERCISE:
"Type /help now and tell me what you see."

VERIFY:
"Great! You should see commands like /clear, /config, etc.
Which one looks interesting to you?"
