How it works

The solve command helps you work through exercises from your learning material.

Two modes:

  • DIY (--mode=diy): Write your own answer → get AI-graded feedback → see the full solution
  • Show (--mode=show, default): View progressive hints → see the full step-by-step solution

How it works:

  1. Ritsu extracts an exercise from the current PoK content
  2. The exercise is presented with optional progressive hints (unlock over time)
  3. In DIY mode, you type your answer and get evaluated before seeing the solution
  4. The solution includes step-by-step working and takeaways (intuition, lessons, applications)

Options:

  • mode: diy or show (default: show)
  • exercise: Specify which exercise to solve by name. Default: first exercise
  • hint: no, 1, 2, or 3 hints. Default: no hints
    • hint=1: 1 hint at 5 minutes
    • hint=2: 2 hints at 5 and 10 minutes
    • hint=3: 3 hints at 5, 10, and 15 minutes

Tips:

  • Use --hint=2 or --hint=3 if you want guided help before seeing the answer
  • DIY mode is great for testing yourself before revealing the solution
  • Type "stop" at any time to end the exercise
  • Type "skip" in DIY mode to jump straight to the solution
