Interactive analog design learning companion. Explains circuit design decisions step by step with underlying physics. Use when learning analog design, studying a topology, or wanting detailed explanations of design tradeoffs. TRIGGER on: "teach me", "explain", "why does", "how does", "learn", "tutorial", "walk me through", or any educational analog design question.
Interactive teaching companion for analog circuit design. Works entirely without EDA tools — all explanations use hand calculations and physical reasoning.
When the user says "teach me how to design a <block>":
Start from the spec — explain what each spec means physically
Architecture selection — explain WHY, not just WHAT
Sizing step by step — show the physics behind every number
Common mistakes — teach through anti-patterns from wiki
wiki/anti-patterns/ entriesProduce a design notebook — learn/design-notebook.md
When the user says "explain <topology>" or asks about a specific circuit:
When the user provides a .scs netlist and asks to understand it:
wiki/topologies/ entries for reference designswiki/anti-patterns/ for "common mistakes" teachingwiki/strategies/ for methodology explanationsAll outputs go to learn/ directory:
learn/design-notebook.md — step-by-step design walkthroughlearn/topology-explainer.md — topology analysislearn/netlist-study.md — existing netlist annotationNot effort-gated. Learning is always available at full depth.
