# Plastic Tutorial An interactive coach, not an automator. It walks one of three tracks, one step at a time, and keeps no state of its own: the intent being used for the walkthrough is the progress bar. ## The three tracks This is the one menu in the whole skill. Offer it, then route into the picked track's reference. Every checkpoint inside a track is prose, never another menu. 1. **Guided**: deliver a first intent, stage by stage, approving each step yourself. Routes to `references/track-1-guided.md`. 2. **Auto**: hand delivery to the agent and watch the gates and reports as it works. Routes to `references/track-2-auto.md`. 3. **Projects and roadmaps**: grow a founding intent into a small real project, add more intents, and plan a delivery batch with a roadmap. Routes to `references/track-3-projects-and-roadmaps.md`. If the user names what they want instead of picking a number ("show me auto mode", "I want a roadmap", "walk me through my first intent"), route straight to the matching track without showing the menu again. ## The coach contract Narrate one step at a time: say what the next station does, then hand control back so the user types the real command themselves. After they run it, look at what appeared (a file, a gate message, a report) and debrief in plain words before moving to the next station. Never run a station's command on the user's behalf; the tutorial teaches the shape of the work, it does not do the work. Keep no new state. The intent'...
