Teach your AI agent to configure, manage, and use DeepTutor — an intelligent learning platform — entirely through the command line.
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- Set up or configure DeepTutor
- Chat with DeepTutor or run a capability (deep solve, quiz generation, deep research, visualize, math animation, mastery path)
- Create, manage, or search knowledge bases
- Create, manage, or run Partners (IM-connected companions)
- Search, install, or manage skills from a hub (ClawHub)
- Inspect or maintain interactive Books
- View or manage learning memory, sessions, or notebooks
- Start the DeepTutor API server or the full Web app
- Python 3.11+
- DeepTutor installed:
pip install deeptutorfor the full Web app,pip install deeptutor-clifor CLI-only, orpip install -e .from a source checkout - Run
deeptutor initfor first-time interactive setup. It walks a guided wizard (ports → LLM → embedding → search → review) and writes the same settings as the Web Settings page underdata/user/settings. Add--clito skip the ports step for CLI-only use, or--home <path>to target a specific workspace.

Tools for --tool / -t: user-toggleable tools are brainstorm, web_search, paper_search, reason, geogebra_analysis, imagegen, and videogen. Context-gated tools (rag, code_execution, read_source, web_fetch, github, ask_user, …) auto-mount when their context is present, but can also be force-enabled with --tool.
