Use when the user is deliberately relearning or building hands-on skill in a language, framework, or system — they write every line themselves and want the agent to teach, not implement. Trigger phrases include "I want to write this myself", "explain it, don't code it", "quiz me", "review what I wrote", "don't give me the fix", or a stated rule that the agent must not write application code for them. Also applies when a project's own docs (a LEARNING_PLAN.md, README, or similar) declare this working mode.
