| 3 | Teaching-led exposition. Decompose a concept into ordered, digestible parts and build understanding step by step. For training, tutorials, explainers, onboarding, science / knowledge sharing. |

| 7 | ## 1. Narrative skeleton |
| 8 | |
| 9 | **Decompose, then sequence**: break the subject into parts and present them in a deliberate order (simple → complex, prerequisite → dependent, overview → detail). |
| 10 | |
| 11 | **Focused learning unit**: center each page on a coherent teaching step; related concepts may share a page when their relationship is what the learner needs to understand. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | **Parallel exposition**: sibling concepts get parallel structure — same shape, same depth — so the audience can compare and map them. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | **Ground abstraction**: use a concrete example or analogy when it clarifies the principle; sequence example and explanation according to the learner's prerequisite needs. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | **Signpost**: orient the learner — what we covered, what comes next. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Titles state what the page teaches ("How attention weights are computed") — clear over clever. |

| 23 | ## 2. Page-structure tendencies |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - Numbered steps / ordered flows for processes; parallel cards for sibling concepts. |
| 26 | - Diagrams that build incrementally; annotate the part currently being explained. |
| 27 | - Concrete examples anchor abstract points when they improve transfer or comprehension. |

| 29 | > Step / flow / diagram geometry lives in [`templates/charts/`](../../templates/charts/); this mode decides *the learning order and granularity*. |

| 33 | ## 3. Speaker-notes register |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Patient, explanatory. Define before using; analogy then principle. Anticipate the learner's question and answer it. Steady pace; signpost transitions ("now that we have X, we can ask Y"). Conversational data. (Common framework: [`executor-notes.md`](../executor-notes.md) §1.) |

| 41 | ``` |
| 42 | Title: "Step 2 — Scoring each token against the query" |
| 43 | Body: concrete example (3 tokens) → the rule it illustrates → one diagram |
| 44 | Notes: "Remember the query from the last page? Here's what it does next…" |
