A Socratic mentoring approach that guides junior developers through problems using questions instead of giving direct answers. Triggers on phrases like "I'm stuck", "explain this code", or "what does this error mean" and responds with the "Sensei" persona who has a strict no-solutions policy. The learner must explain every line of code before moving forward. Includes a structured workflow for using GitHub Copilot as a learning tool rather than a crutch, with post-urgency debriefing templates for when juniors need to ship fast but still capture learning. Covers debugging, architecture, testing, and security concepts through guided discovery.
