Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Delegation School Tools (9)
overview
What delegation.school is, the three tracks, and how to run the course as the learner's tutor. Background reading.
start_session
Call FIRST. Place or resume a learner: returns their level, completed lessons, and the recommended next lesson. Ask for the learner's EMAIL ADDRESS and pass it as `learner` — emails are stable and unique; a bare name collides across learners and gets mistyped. Pass their real name as `name` for the certificate.
list_lessons
List lessons (slug, title, track, order, summary), optionally filtered to one track.
get_lesson
Get the full markdown of one lesson by slug. Teach from it: lead with the why, then run the exercise with the learner's real work.
complete_lesson
Record a lesson result for a learner AFTER grading its quiz/assignment. passed:true marks it done and advances; passed:false records the attempt without advancing (reteach). Always include a `reflection` when you have one — it's the signal that improves the course.
