Mind Tutor
Button-only curriculum over your notebook sources — set a goal, get a syllabus (live LLM when MIND_TUTOR_MOCK is off; mock fallback), run lessons, and write notes back into Mind. Does not replace Sources | Chat | Studio.
Before you start
- Signed-in account with a Mind notebook (sources help grounding).
- MIND_TUTOR=1 on the API. Optional MIND_TUTOR_MOCK=1 for deterministic mock syllabus (COGS-safe); unset mock for live LLM syllabus (Mind Thinking 1.5).
- Code default for MIND_TUTOR remains OFF; local/dev without flags shows the flag-off message in Studio.
- Start from Studio → Mind Tutor, or open /mind?id={notebook}&tutor=1.
Steps
- 1
Open Studio → Mind Tutor (tile hint: live syllabus when mock is off).
- 2
Enter a learning goal and tap Plan syllabus — response shows engine mock or live.
- 3
Open a lesson → Start — lesson body is live LLM when mock is off (Mind Thinking 1.6); mock fallback otherwise.
- 4
Follow the lesson checklist + progress bar; Pause / Resume keeps the syllabus without losing progress.
- 5
Complete a lesson to save a Studio note + highlight (created_from=tutor).
- 6
Optional soft CTA: Generate flashcards from a lesson into a Studio deck — live LLM when mock is off (Mind Thinking 1.7).
- 7
Mac / iOS / Android / Windows: soft session list + Open Tutor in Hub for the full panel (Mind Thinking 1.8).
Common mistakes
- Free plans: ≤3 lessons per syllabus; Pro/Team: ≤12. Hub shows a soft quota hint and near/at-cap banners.
- Near cap: finish remaining lessons or upgrade for a longer syllabus — Tutor never auto-starts on ingest.
- Flashcards from a lesson are optional — live when MIND_TUTOR_MOCK is off; otherwise mock template cards. They create a Studio artifact.
- Mind Thinking 1.5 = live syllabus; 1.6 = live lesson body; 1.7 = live flashcards. All share MIND_TUTOR_MOCK.
- Prod may keep MIND_TUTOR_MOCK=1 until ops flips live (COGS). LLM fail → mock fallback for syllabus, Start, and flashcards.
- Mind MCP prod soft canary is separate (Mind Thinking 1.2, MIND_MCP=1) — Tutor does not toggle MCP.
- Disable Tutor: unset MIND_TUTOR and restart the API.
