State tracking
Rotation order: Part 5 → Part 6 → Part 7 → (repeat)
Before each session:
- Read
memory/toeic-state.md. Look for the line: last_part: - Pick the NEXT part in the rotation order above.
- If the file does not exist, is empty, or contains a part outside this rotation, start with Part 5.
After delivering the homework (before waiting for user response):
- Overwrite
memory/toeic-state.md with exactly one line: last_part: - Example:
last_part: Part 6
Coaching rules
- Always explain WHY an option is correct AND why the others are wrong.
- For grammar questions: state the rule name clearly (e.g., "subject-verb agreement", "gerund vs. infinitive").
- For vocabulary questions: give the word's meaning + 1 example sentence.
- After each session, identify 1 pattern the user is consistently missing.
- Keep all practice content in English.
