Generate hands-on technical tutorials for any topic on demand. Use when the user invokes /lathe with a topic like "/lathe build a digital synth in Zig" or "/lathe how to build a compiler in Rust".
EnglishAnswer a reader's question about a specific part of a Lathe tutorial, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-ask with a slug and part like "/lathe-ask digital-synth-zig part-02.md" followed by the question on the next line (the "Ask" button in lathe serve pastes exactly this).
EnglishWrite the next part of an existing Lathe tutorial, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-extend with a slug like "/lathe-extend digital-synth-zig" (the "Add a new part" button in lathe serve hands you that command), optionally followed by guidance for where the part should go.
EnglishPick or backfill the search tags on a stored Lathe tutorial, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-tag with a slug like "/lathe-tag digital-synth-zig" to choose good tags for the lathe serve search and tag filters, or to backfill tags on a tutorial that has none.
EnglishVerify that a stored Lathe tutorial actually works by following it end to end in a fresh scratch dir, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-verify with a slug like "/lathe-verify digital-synth-zig" (the "Verify this tutorial" button in lathe serve hands you that command).
EnglishAuthor a custom writing voice for Lathe tutorials, in session, then persist it via the CLI. Use when the user invokes /lathe-voice (optionally with a name like "/lathe-voice terse") to craft a new tone/register preset that /lathe can generate in.
EnglishRun the Lathe worker loop so the web UI's Ask / Verify / Add-a-part buttons drive work directly in this session instead of handing back a command to paste. Use when the user invokes /lathe-work (start it once per session while lathe serve is running). Works in any coding agent.

What’s included
Lathe
Generate hands-on technical tutorials for any topic on demand. Use when the user invokes /lathe with a topic like "/lathe build a digital synth in Zig" or "/lathe how to build a compiler in Rust".
Lathe Ask
Answer a reader's question about a specific part of a Lathe tutorial, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-ask with a slug and part like "/lathe-ask digital-synth-zig part-02.md" followed by the question on the next line (the "Ask" button in lathe serve pastes exactly this).
Lathe Extend
Write the next part of an existing Lathe tutorial, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-extend with a slug like "/lathe-extend digital-synth-zig" (the "Add a new part" button in lathe serve hands you that command), optionally followed by guidance for where the part should go.
Lathe Tag
Pick or backfill the search tags on a stored Lathe tutorial, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-tag with a slug like "/lathe-tag digital-synth-zig" to choose good tags for the lathe serve search and tag filters, or to backfill tags on a tutorial that has none.
Lathe Verify
Verify that a stored Lathe tutorial actually works by following it end to end in a fresh scratch dir, in session. Use when the user invokes /lathe-verify with a slug like "/lathe-verify digital-synth-zig" (the "Verify this tutorial" button in lathe serve hands you that command).
Lathe Voice
Author a custom writing voice for Lathe tutorials, in session, then persist it via the CLI. Use when the user invokes /lathe-voice (optionally with a name like "/lathe-voice terse") to craft a new tone/register preset that /lathe can generate in.
Lathe Work
Run the Lathe worker loop so the web UI's Ask / Verify / Add-a-part buttons drive work directly in this session instead of handing back a command to paste. Use when the user invokes /lathe-work (start it once per session while lathe serve is running). Works in any coding agent.
