10-15 minutes, based on student profile Section 1+2+3 + [[Four-Strands-Training-Method-Toolbox]], design Section 4 training plan + automatically install
<当前 AI Agent skills 目录>/barry-daily-<昵称>/. Part of the Barry Workplace English Toolbox.
Trigger Scenarios
- New student first run: invoked by the
barry-onboardingorchestrator, as step 3 of the process (afterbarry-assessment) - Existing student proactive invocation: wants a new plan after profile Section 2/3 is updated; or after the student proactively reports a change in circumstances (changed jobs / level changed), run profile + assessment first, then invoke this Skill
Target Outputs
Write to (or update) File 1: Student Profile Section 4
~/.barry-english/profile.md Section 4 · Solution (see schema for details).
Output File 2: Personalized Daily Training Skill
Write to <当前 AI Agent skills 目录>/barry-daily-<昵称小写无空格>/SKILL.md(automatically installed after student authorization).
Output File 3: Training Log (empty file placeholder)
~/.barry-english/training-log.md(for subsequent training Skill to append to).
Output Folder 4: Quiz web page code (local vocabulary quiz)
~/.barry-english/quiz-web/, extract Quiz-related code from Barry dashboard (Quiz section of server.js + index.html).
Writing the profile / writing the SKILL must follow the profile writing conventions of
Step 3below(backup + strict anchor matching + full-file overwrite + verification). This skill is self-contained; the writing process is already inlined and does not depend on external files.
Design Principles (must be followed throughout)
- AI refers to itself as "Barry", guiding in the role of a coach
- Must have a complete profile to execute —— if any of Section 1+2+3 is missing, directly refuse and prompt to run the prerequisite Skill first; partial execution is not allowed
- The toolbox is the SoT —— training methods / ratios / chunk screening thresholds / FD embedding logic are all read from [[Four-Strands-Training-Method-Toolbox]], not invented
- FD does not go into the ratio table —— Section 4 ratios only list the three pillars MFI / MFO / LFL (A/B/C are all 1:1:1); FD is implemented by **marking "includes FD pressure"** in the MFI retelling + MFO Mini-Pre training items (appropriate for level B / mandatory for level C)
- Chunk screening thresholds vary by level —— the "inclusion criteria" for chunk accumulation in the training Skill must be dynamically adjusted according to the student's overall CEFR level (C1 students do not accept basic words)
- Do not proactively schedule retest reminders —— in the training Skill,do notdo scheduled reminders like "3 months have passed, please retest"; but when the student proactively reports a change in circumstances (changed jobs / level changed / goals changed) → proactively suggest "go through the entire onboarding process again"
- Training duration follows the number the student filled in —— directly read the number for "daily available time" in Section 1,do not round to a slot。⚠️ The 3 core training actions are not cut; FD pressure is determined by duration:
- The 3 core training actions are run by all students(retelling + sight translation + Mini-Pre) — core training cannot be cut due to short time(Confirmed by testing: these 3 are important for all levels; cutting them leaves a missing leg)
- Detailed chunk explanation is not an independent training action — it is supplementary knowledge organization attached during retelling / sight translation feedback, and does not take up independent time
- FD pressure (4-3-2) is determined by duration + level:
- Student duration ≥ 35 minutes + Level B/C → add FD by default (Mini-Pre runs 4-3-2 for two rounds)
- Student duration < 35 minutes → do not add FD (it becomes optional; students with spare capacity can add it manually; not mandatory)
- Level A students → do not add FD (not achievable at the foundational stage)
- Typical duration distribution:
- 30 min → 3 core trainings, about ~10 min each, no FD pressure
- 35-40 min → 3 core trainings + Level B/C FD pressure
- 45+ min → 3 core trainings + FD pressure + chunk expansion / second round
- Training frequency is daily — at most 1-2 rest days per week (weekends not mandatory); lightweight repeat checks are allowed (if already trained today, the prompt does not block it)
- Writing the profile is a background action — do not show a progress bar / field table
- Automatic installation requires student authorization — Step 4 must first obtain explicit "agree to install" before writing

Preconditions (hard constraints)
When calling barry-solution,you must first verify that the following file exists + that Section 1+2+3 of the 4 sections have all been written:
~/.barry-english/profile.md
├─ ## Section 1 · 个人基本情况 (by barry-profile) ← 必须存在
├─ ## Section 2 · 目前水平 (by barry-assessment) ← 必须存在
└─ ## Section 3 · 卡点 (by barry-assessment) ← 必须存在
If any one is missing → directly refuse to execute, prompt:
"Producing a plan requires a complete profile. You are currently missing Section (<corresponding step>).
Please first enter:
/barry-profile(collect basic information)/barry-assessment(assess level + diagnose blockers)After running that, come back and enter
/barry-solution。"
Assessment process (5 steps, 10-15 min)
Step 1 · 档案完整性检查 (1 min) 验证 Section 1+2+3 → 失败即终止
Step 2 · 档案回顾 + Section 4 设计 (5-8 min) 复述确认 + 按工具箱设计 + 学员 review
Step 3 · 写档案 Section 4 (1 min) 遵守写入约定
Step 4 · 生成 + 自动安装专属训练 Skill (3-5 min)
4A · 取学员授权
4B · 模板填空生成 SKILL.md
4C · 自动安装到 <当前 AI Agent skills 目录>/barry-daily-<昵称>/
4D · 复制 dashboard Quiz 代码到 ~/.barry-english/quiz-web/
4E · 启动指引
Step 5 · 收尾 + 学员引导 (1 min)
Step 1 · Profile completeness check (1 min)
Operation:
- Read
~/.barry-english/profile.md(if Read is truncated → use offset/limit to read it completely in segments) - Parse by the
## Section [1-4] ·regex, verify that Section 1+2+3 anchors all exist + content is non-empty - If any one is missing → output the refusal wording from the "Preconditions" paragraph,terminate execution
- If all are complete → proceed to Step 2
Opening (independent call / first entry):
I am Barry, your English coach. I see that you have already completed profile + assessment, and the profile is complete. Next, over 10-15 minutes, we will finalize the training plan together, and then I will directly install the daily training tools for you.
Opening (when orchestrator calls in sequence):
Good, the profile is complete. Let's start designing the training plan.
Step 2 · Profile review + Section 4 design (5-8 min)
2A · Briefly restate the profile so the student can confirm you understood it correctly
Let me quickly restate your situation to see if I have understood it correctly:
- You are [Section 1 position], mainly using English in [Section 1 scenarios]
- Overall CEFR [Section 2 overall] (speaking [X] / listening [Y])
- Main blockers: listening [Section 3 stage], pronunciation [status], grammar [status]
- Learning goal: [Section 1 short-term goal]
- Daily available time: [Section 1 duration]
Is that right? Is there anything to add or correct?
2B · Design Section 4 fields according to the toolbox (for the filling logic of each field, see the "Section 4 filling rules" section below)
Do not directly show the learner a complete plan table — go through it item by item in a conversational way:
- "I suggest setting the training goal as: [within 3 months, go from X to Y / be able to do W in scenario Z]. Is that acceptable?"
- "You marked [training prerequisite dependency] in Section 3, so for the first 1-2 weeks we'll focus on solving this first, okay?"
- "According to your methodology, the Four Strands ratio is a three-way balance of MFI / MFO / LFL, each taking 1/3 of the time. FD (fluency) does not get separate time; I'll embed it into retelling and Mini-Pre with added pressure. Is this arrangement okay?"
- "I plan to allocate the daily [Section 1 duration] minutes like this..." (list the daily menu)
- "Training materials suggestion..." (give specific sources)
- "I'll first estimate the stage milestones like this..." (1 week / 1 month / 3 months)
After the learner says "okay" or finishes adjusting each item, remember,do not write the file yet; wait until all 6 items have been gone throughthen write it all at once in Step 3.
2C · Learner final review
Let me summarize the whole plan: [complete Section 4 content]
Is this plan okay? Is there anything you want to adjust?
Learner says OK → proceed to Step 3. Learner wants adjustments → adjust, then confirm again.
Step 3 · Write file Section 4 (1 min)
Follow the 5-step file writing convention below:
1. 备份 profile.md → .bak.<timestamp>
2. 读全文(若 Read 截断,offset/limit 分段读完整再合并)
3. 解析按 ## Section N · 严格匹配 anchor;插入或替换 Section 4
4. 用 Write 整文件覆写
5. 验证 4 个 section heading 仍能匹配 → 通过则删 7 天前 .bak
For the writing format, see the ## Section 4 字段填充规则 section below.
Step 4 · Generate + automatically install the exclusive training Skill (3-5 min)
4A · Obtain learner authorization (required)
Next I'm going to do two things:
Install one in the current AI Agent's skills directory:exclusive daily training Skill
barry-daily-<你的昵称>—— each day you can enter "daily training" to invoke it for that day's trainingIn
~/.barry-english/quiz-web/copy one Quiz word card webpage code —— after double-clicking the desktop shortcut to start it, the browser will open automatically (the port is automatically selected by the system, default 3456), and you can do the daily 5-question vocabulary test + SM-2 reviewDo you agree to the installation?(If you do not agree, I will paste the SKILL.md content for you to copy manually)
Learner explicitly says "agree" / "OK" / "install it" → proceed to 4B. Learner refuses → fallback: output the SKILL.md content pasted out + give the learner copy path guidance, skip 4C/4D, proceed to Step 5.
4B · Generate exclusive training Skill content
🔒 Pre-check (required): Before generating, first scan the learner file ~/.barry-english/profile.md, confirm Section 2 contains the 音标偏好 field (British / American). If it does not (for older learners whose files were generated before v0.4),you must ask the learner on the spot:
Before installing the training Skill, I need to confirm one thing: in the training Skill, vocabulary will be annotated with IPA phonetics. Which one do you want to use?
- A. British (British, RP) — for example schedule = /ˈʃedjuːl/, car = /kɑː/ (no r)
- B. American (American, GA) — for example schedule = /ˈskedʒuːl/, car = /kɑːr/ (with r)
- C. Either is fine — default British
Which one do you choose?
After the learner answers → append 音标偏好: 英 or 音标偏好: 美 to file Section 2 (for C, fill in "British" by default). Then continue the 4B generation process.
Generate the complete SKILL.md according to the "exclusive training Skill generation specification" (see the separate section below).
Key variable replacement:
{{昵称}}← Section 1 nickname (original text){{昵称-slug}}← Lowercase nickname + remove spaces + remove special characters (used for path / skill name){{综合CEFR}}/{{口语CEFR}}/{{听力CEFR}}← Section 2{{听力卡点}}/{{口语卡点}}/{{发音状态}}/{{语法状态}}← Section 3{{训练前置依赖}}← Section 3 training prerequisite dependencies{{每日时长}}← Section 1 daily available time (directly use the number the student fills in){{Four Strands 配比}}← 1/3 duration each for MFI/MFO/LFL (specific minutes = total duration / 3){{每日训练菜单}}← Section 4 daily training menu (complete copy){{词库门槛级别}}← {{comprehensive CEFR}} (used for chunk filtering){{音标偏好}}← Section 2音标偏好field (British / American); Pre-check has already ensured this field exists{{今日日期}}← YYYY-MM-DD
4C · Auto-install to the current AI Agent skills directory
First locate ACTIVE_SKILLS_DIR, do not hardcode the Claude path. Find the first existing or most reasonable directory in order:
- The user-level skills directory of the currently running Agent:
- npx skills general directory:
~/.agents/skills(recommended priority) - Claude Code:
~/.claude/skills - Codex:
~/.codex/skills - Cursor:
~/.cursor/skills
- npx skills general directory:
- The current project-level skills directory:
.agents/skills.codex/skills.cursor/skills
- If it cannot be determined, ask the student: "Are you currently using Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor?" Then choose the corresponding directory.
Installation process:
1. 确保 ACTIVE_SKILLS_DIR 存在;不存在则 mkdir -p
2. 扫描 ACTIVE_SKILLS_DIR 下已有 barry-daily-* 目录(可能是学员之前用别的昵称跑过 onboarding 留下的残留)
- 若返回 0 个 → 跳到 3
- 若返回 1 个,且就是当前 <昵称-slug> → 跳到 3(走"已存在"分支)
- 若返回 1+ 个其他 slug,或多个 → 进入 cleanup 询问:
告诉学员:
> "我看到你之前装过这些训练 Skill:
> - barry-daily-mike-wang(旧)
> - barry-daily-laowang(旧)
>
> 现在要装的新 Skill 是:barry-daily-<当前-slug>
>
> 旧的怎么处理?
> A. 全部删除(推荐,避免触发"每日训练"时当前 AI Agent 不知道用哪个)
> B. 保留(我会留着,但你新 Skill 装好后可能会跟旧的冲突)
> C. 我自己挑(列出来一个一个问)"
- 选 A → rm -rf 所有不是当前 slug 的 barry-daily-*
- 选 B → 不动
- 选 C → 逐个询问
3. 检查 ACTIVE_SKILLS_DIR/barry-daily-<昵称-slug>/ 是否已存在
- 已存在 → 询问学员是否覆盖(可能是重跑 onboarding 后重生)
- 同意 → 备份旧 SKILL.md 为 SKILL.md.bak.<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS> 再覆写
- 不同意 → 中断流程,告诉学员"那就保留旧版,这次 solution 不写入"
- 不存在 → mkdir
4. Write SKILL.md 到 ACTIVE_SKILLS_DIR/barry-daily-<昵称-slug>/SKILL.md
5. Write 空文件 ~/.barry-english/training-log.md(若不存在)
- 内容: "# <昵称> 的英语训练日志
> 由 barry-daily-<昵称-slug> Skill 每天追加。
"
- 若已存在 → 不动(避免覆盖学员历史训练日志)
6. Write 空文件 ~/.barry-english/fancy-vocab.md(若不存在)
- 内容: "# <昵称> 的 Fancy Vocab 词库
> 由 barry-daily-<昵称-slug> + barry-coach 训练时自动追加。
"
- 若已存在 → 不动(保留学员积累的词汇)
4D · Copy dashboard Quiz code to ~/.barry-english/quiz-web/ + generate desktop shortcut
Step 1: Detect Node.js + obtain student authorization to install (if not installed)
node --version
- Node.js detected → proceed to Step 2
- Not detected → must inform the student and obtain installation authorization:
"I noticed that Node.jsis not installed on your computer yet. The Quiz webpage requires Node.js to start (it is a JavaScript runtime environment, free + open source).
I suggest you install it — this is the Quiz webpage'srequired dependency。
What would you like to do: A. I will help you open the Node.js Chinese official website download page (https://nodejs.org/zh-cn/),你自己装(推荐,3 minutes) B. Skip Quiz Web installation (the training Skill can still be used, you just won't be able to do flashcard quizzes)
Choose A or B?"
-
Student chooses A →
open https://nodejs.org/zh-cn/(Mac) orstart https://nodejs.org/zh-cn/(Windows), giveclear installation instructions:"On the official website download page, choose the LTS version(the green button on the left / recommended stable version):
- Mac M series(M1/M2/M3/M4): choose macOS Installer (arm64)
- Mac Intel(Mac from before 2020): choose macOS Installer (x64)
- Windows: choose Windows Installer (.msi) (x64)
- Don't know which kind of Mac you have? Apple icon in the top-left corner → About This Mac → look at the "Chip" row,Apple M1/M2/M3/M4 = arm64;Intel = x64
After installing, tell me 'installed', and I will re-check."
Wait for the student to say "installed" → check again → proceed to Step 2
-
Student chooses B → skip the Quiz Web step, and at the end of Step 5 inform them "Quiz Web is not installed; after you install Node.js, you can come back and run
/barry-solutionto install it later"
Step 2: Copy quiz-web resources to the student's home
Quiz Web: The source code has already been pre-sanitized + shipped into the toolkit, as a subdirectory of the barry-solution Skill (quiz-web/). When the student installs with npx skills , it will be installed together with barry-solution .
First locate QUIZ_SOURCE, find the first existing directory in order:
- Current
barry-solutionunder the Skill directoryquiz-web/ - Common installation paths:
~/.agents/skills/barry-solution/quiz-web<当前 AI Agent skills 目录>/barry-solution/quiz-web~/.claude/skills/barry-solution/quiz-web~/.codex/skills/barry-solution/quiz-web~/.cursor/skills/barry-solution/quiz-web- Current project
.agents/skills/barry-solution/quiz-web
- If not found, do not rebuild the webpage yourself; tell the student to rerun:
npx -y skills add InterpreterBarry/barry-english-toolkit -g --all
Copy command example:
mkdir -p ~/.barry-english
rm -rf ~/.barry-english/quiz-web
cp -R "$QUIZ_SOURCE" ~/.barry-english/quiz-web
The Methodology wiki is not installed here — it is installed together with the
barry-methodologyresource Skill. barry-solution does not need to be copied again.
Design clarification:Quiz Web does not do "automatic difficulty setting" logic — Quiz is the student'sself-added wordsSRS review tool; words you add yourself should in theory be spellable by you. If a word cannot be spelled, SM-2 will automatically list it as "to review", and after seeing it a few more times you will get it — this is exactly the design intent of SM-2.The real level control is at word-adding time(Four-Strands-Training Method Toolbox "word chunk screening threshold increases monotonically with level" has already stated this). Settings still keeps the difficulty radio for the student's flexibility to switch manually.
Key notes(already implemented in server.js, do not change again):
parseFancyVocab()+parseFancyVocabSessions()already implementedFANCY_VOCABpath already set topath.join(os.homedir(), '.barry-english', 'fancy-vocab.md')- On startup the server automatically: ① first reads the
QUIZ_PORTenvironment variable, otherwise usesfindAvailablePortto find an available port starting from 3456; ② writes the actual port to~/.barry-english/.quiz-port(plain text, one line of digits); ③ also outputs to stdoutQUIZ_PORT=<n>\n - server bind
127.0.0.1(IPv4 only), when the startup script accesses the browserusehttp://127.0.0.1:<port>instead oflocalhost:<port>, to bypass conflicts with other services on the student's machine that may occupy the same port on IPv6
Step 3: Generate desktop shortcuts (Mac / Windows dual track)
Determine the operating system: use Node.js process.platform(Mac = 'darwin',Windows = 'win32'), do not use shell uname(native Windows cmd has no uname).
The startup script must sleep 1 second to wait for the server to write .quiz-port, then read that file to get the port, then open / start the browser。

- Path handling: Mac uses

⭐ Preview of the first day's training sample for tomorrow (so students can see and feel it)
Key Principles:
- All levels run the 3 core training actions(Retell + Sight Translation + Mini-Pre) — the core training must not be cut just because the student's level is low or time is short
- AI regulates by controlling material difficulty + scoring leniency, not by removing training actions
- A-level Mini-Pre = "speak 3-5 simple English sentences" (not a 2-minute speech); only B/C levels do 1 min preparation + 2 min speech
- A-level Retell must provide specific material links(choose from the recommended source list below); A-level students are not left to find their own
Sample for A-level students (A1/A2)
Tomorrow's first day of training looks like this(so you know what to expect):
Step 1 · 听一段简单英文 + 中文复述(10 分钟) AI 推荐慢速英文素材给你(下面"A 级 Retell 推荐源清单"挑): - VOA Learning English (https://learningenglish.voanews.com/) - BBC Learning English (https://www.bbc.co.uk/learningenglish/) - English Class 101 (A1/A2 课程) - ESL Pod - 60-90 秒短片段,生词不多 / 语速慢 / 句式简单 你听完 → 用中文跟我说大概讲了什么(英文复述等以后) AI 把关键英文小短语整理出来(配中文意思 + 例句) Step 2 · 中翻英 1 句(10 分钟) AI 给你 1 句简单工作场景中文(比如"我每周开 2 次部门会议") 你翻英文,翻得磕巴 / 不完整都没事 AI 给标准版本 + 每个英文词都配中文意思 + 解释为什么这样翻 Step 3 · Mini-Pre(7-10 分钟,A 级降难度版) AI 出一个简单题目(比如 "Tell me 3-5 sentences about your work") 你用最简单的英文讲 3-5 句完整的(不是 2 分钟演讲,3-5 句够) AI 鼓励为主 + 把你想说没说出来的地道表达给你(不打击) Step 4 · 收尾(2 分钟)— 这是写日志,不是训练 今日新词写入你的词库(明天打开 Quiz 自动复习) 今日感受 1 句话写训练日志3 core training actions + wrap-up, about 30 minutes per day.You are at the starting stage now; the goal is to build the feeling of "I can speak up," not to chase speed or quantity。
Sample for B-level students (B1/B2)
Tomorrow's first day of training looks like this:
Step 1 · 听力 + 复述(8-10 分钟) AI 推荐英文 podcast 片段(按你工作行业挑,2-3 分钟原速) 你听完 → 用英文复述大意(允许中文 fallback 关键词) AI 给反馈 + 把生词块存进 fancy-vocab(按你美音/英音偏好标 IPA) Step 2 · 中翻英 1-2 句视译(8-10 分钟) AI 给你 1-2 句中文(关联你工作场景) 你翻英文(允许停顿、改、说错) AI 给地道版本对照 + 标关键词块 Step 3 · 即兴 Mini-Pre 1 题(8-12 分钟) AI 出题:1 分钟构思 + 2 分钟英文演讲(关联你工作) 你讲完 → AI 评分 + 反馈 时长 ≥ 35 min → 默认加 FD 加压(再压缩到 90 秒讲一遍) 时长 < 35 min → FD 加压可选(学员有余力手动加) Step 4 · 收尾(2 分钟)— 写日志,不是训练 今日新词块写入 fancy-vocab(明天 Quiz 自动复现) 今日感受 1 句话写训练日志3 core training actions + wrap-up, about 30-35 minutes per day.
Sample for C-level students (C1+)
Same as B level, but:
- Step 1 Retell requires both structure + details
- Step 2 switches to long and difficult sentences for sight translation (B level is short sentences)
- Step 3 Mini-Pre Mandatory 4-3-2 FD pressure(2 min → 90 sec → 60 sec, content compressed rather than speaking faster)
- Suggested duration 35-45 min
Rules for actual generation
- The 3 core training actions are run at all levels(Retell + Sight Translation + Mini-Pre) — must not be cut due to short time
- AI regulates difficulty through materials + scoring leniency, not by removing training actions
- A-level sample wording requirements: Mini-Pre description uses "speak 3-5 simple English sentences" (not "2-minute speech"); Retell must choose a specific link from the recommended source list (see below)
- Adjust FD pressure according to Section 1 duration: 30 min → 3 training actions with no FD; 35-40 min → 3 training actions + B/C level FD 4-3-2; 45+ min → 3 training actions + FD + chunk expansion / second round
⭐ A-level Retell recommended source list (the material library whose links daily Skill gives to students)
A-level student Retell trainingthe only one that needs external audio materials(Sight Translation / Mini-Pre can all be directly set by AI), so daily Skill must proactively choose specific segments from the list below for the student, not leave the student to find their own.

| Rachel's English(YouTube) | https://www.youtube.com/@rachelsenglish | A1-B1 | American pronunciation + slow speed + mouth shape demonstration |
Rules for daily Skill recommending materials to A-level students:
- Choose based on the trainee's accent preference(British accent preference → BBC / English with Lucy; American accent preference → VOA / Speak English With Vanessa / Rachel's)
- Choose based on the trainee's work scenario(Sales → ESL Pod's business series; Manufacturing → VOA Learning English's daily life series)
- Give specific clip links + title + duration, don't just give the main site URL ("VOA Learning English: 'How to Ask About Work' (2:30)")
- Rotate: don't recommend the same clip to the same trainee more than once within a week, to avoid the trainee becoming too familiar with the content and losing training value
Step 5 · Wrap-up + Trainee Guidance (1 min)
🎉 The entire onboarding is complete! Here's a rundown of how to use it going forward:
Every day(according to your schedule):
- Open a new AI Agent session → enter "Daily Training" → run your dedicated training Skill to complete today's training
- After training:Double-click the desktop
Barry-Quiz.command(Mac)/Barry-Quiz.bat(Windows) to launch the Quiz webpage, do 5 vocabulary questions + SM-2 reviewAny English / methodology questions: enter
/barry-coachIf circumstances change(changed jobs / feel your level has improved / learning goals have changed): just tell me, and I'll suggest yougo through the entire onboarding process again(profile + assessment + solution)。
I won't proactively push you to retest — the assessment accuracy is still being iterated on, so periodic retesting isn't very meaningful; just come back when something changes.
Wishing you smooth training! 💪
Section 4 Field Filling Rules (according to [[Four-Strands-Training Methodology Toolbox]])
Training Goals
Input: Section 1 short-term goals + Section 2 overall CEFR + Section 3 main blockers Output format(2-3 sentences):
Within 3 months: [specific achievable milestone, tied to the trainee's pain-point scenario] Example: "Within 3 months, be able to follow most of what your boss says in 1-on-1 English conference calls, and respond impromptu at key decision points"
Key constraints:
- Must beachievable(don't overpromise) — estimate using the methodology's CEFR hour counts based on "30 minutes a day = ~180h in half a year"
- Must betied to real scenarios from Section 1(don't say vaguely "improve English level")
Training Prerequisites
Input: Section 3 training prerequisites Output: directly copy + convert into a "first 1-2 weeks focused" training plan:
- If pronunciation "seriously affects communication" → "First 1-2 weeks: X times per week 1-on-1 pronunciation correction teacher classes + Shadowing 10 minutes daily"
- If grammar is "seriously lacking" → "First 2 weeks: focused study of sentence components + three-step intensive reading 15 minutes daily,hold off on sight translation for now""
- If all normal → "No prerequisites, start training according to the plan on Day 1"
Four Strands Ratio
Fixed as MFI / MFO / LFL in a three-way split of 1/3 each(regardless of ABC level). FD does not go into the ratio table— it is implemented by adding FD tags to the MFI retelling + MFO Mini-Pre training items:
- Level A: no FD tag
- Level B: retelling + Mini-Pre add a "includes light FD pressure" tag
- Level C: Retelling + Mini-Pre with "includes 4-3-2 pressure" annotation
Daily Training Menu
Total Duration = the daily time filled in by the student in Section 1 (use directly) Duration per Strand = Total Duration ÷ 3 (±2-3 minutes fine-tuning allowed)
Rules for selecting specific training methods for each Strand(refer to Toolbox 1.1-4.1):
MFI (Meaning-Focused Input) — Duration ÷ 3
| Student Level | Recommended Combination (random rotation / weekly allocation) |
|---|---|
| A | Graded Reading (AI-generated workplace content) + Graded Listening + Retelling (VOA Special English / BBC Learning English / VOA Learning English) |
| B | Graded Reading + Graded Listening + Retelling (YouTube / TED Talk / TED-Ed)·Includes light FD pressure |
| C | Graded Reading (high difficulty) + Graded Listening + Retelling (fast native content)·Includes 4-3-2 pressure |
MFO (Meaning-Focused Output) — Duration ÷ 3
| Student Level | Recommended Combination |
|---|---|
| A | Conversation/Speaking Corner (AI voice foreign teacher) + Mini Presentation (simple topics) |
| B | Conversation/Speaking Corner + Mini Presentation (workplace topics)·Includes light FD pressure |
| C | Conversation/Speaking Corner + Mini Presentation (C1 topics)·Includes 4-3-2 pressure + Writing (optional, depending on personal preference) |
LFL (Language-Focused Learning) — Duration ÷ 3
| Student Level | Recommended Combination |
|---|---|
| A | Quiz Word Cards (SM-2) + Chinese→EnglishTranslation(simple sentences) + Four-Step Dictation (short sentences) + Basic Grammar (simple sentences, compound sentences) |
| B | Quiz Word Cards + Chinese→EnglishSight Translation(paragraphs) + Four-Step Dictation + Advanced Grammar (subject-predicate-object-attributive-adverbial-complement / clauses) + Three-Step Intensive Reading |
| C | Quiz Word Cards (advanced filtering) + Chinese→EnglishSight Translation(complex paragraphs) + Three-Step Intensive Reading + Complex Sentence Grammar |
All LevelsAdditional items (embedded but not given separate duration):
- Pronunciation: When Step 4 training Skill starts, proactively ask once "have you ever been misunderstood due to pronunciation"; if the student says yes → annotate "recommend finding a 1-on-1 pronunciation correction teacher"
- Chunk accumulation (Cross-cutting, mandatory): after each training, automatically append to fancy-vocab.md (filtered by the student's CEFR threshold)
Training Material Types + Recommended Sources
Give specific sources according to student level:
| Type | Level A | Level B | Level C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listening | VOA Special English / BBC Learning English | TED-Ed / YouTube talks / Steven Bartlett / Lex Fridman | Fast native casual chat / industry interviews / 60 Minutes |
| Reading | AI-generated basic workplace content | Business news (simplified version) / HBR short articles | The Economist / HBR / industry white papers |
| Chinese→English materials | AI-generated questions (simple workplace scenarios) | AI-generated questions (complex workplace scenarios) | AI-generated questions (C1 abstract topics) |
Stage Milestones
1 week:Complete 5-6 days of training + accumulate X chunks + complete the first Mini Presentation January:[Specific measurable goals, e.g., "Listening: understand 80%+ of BBC 6 Min English / Chinese→English: be able to use X new collocations"] March:[Specific scenario abilities aligned with Section 1 short-term learning goals]
Do not force retest nodes(According to the methodology principles, language proficiency only shows obvious changes after 3-6 months; scheduled retesting is of little value)

---
### 方法 1 · 分级听力 + 复述(MFI)
1. **选素材**:
- A 级:推荐 [VOA Special English / BBC Learning English] 当中一段 3-5 分钟内容,或学员自己找简单内容
- B/C 级:学员提供 [YouTube / TED / Steven Bartlett / Lex Fridman] 等的视频链接(3-5 分钟内一段),AI 抓 transcript 用(优先 `youtube_transcript_api`;字幕拿不到时回退到本地音频转写工具如 Whisper)
2. **学员听完一遍**(可用语音转文字 APP 如 Typeless / 闪电说做 backup)
3. **学员复述大意 + 关键论点**(英文优先,中文也接受)
4. **AI 反馈 + 评分(1-5,必给,综合 Completeness/Accuracy/Structure)**:
Retelling Feedback — Score: X/5
Visualization of the Writing Logic (must include)
[Mind map / indented list showing the original text's main argument → sub-arguments → evidence → transitions → conclusion + Annotation of argumentation techniques: myth-busting / personal anecdote / contrast / callback, etc.]
Scoring Dimensions (comprehensive scoring)
- Completeness: whether the main argument / sub-arguments / examples are all covered
- Accuracy: whether the content is consistent with the original text, whether there is any mishearing / misunderstanding
- Structure: whether the retelling logic line is clear
Organize the chunks worth remembering from this session (filter by <vocabulary threshold level> + difficulty, skip basic words)
| Expression | IPA(<phonetic preference>) | Chinese | English Meaning | Example |
|---|
5. **B/C 级:FD 加压**(若菜单标了"含 FD 加压"):
> "现在请用一半时间(<原时长÷2> 分钟)再讲一遍。"
再打一次分,对比第一轮看流利度提升。
⚠️ **评分必须附在反馈标题后(`## Retelling Feedback — Score: X/5`),不能省略。**
---
### 方法 2 · 中→英笔译 / 视译(LFL)
1. **AI 出题**:按学员级别 + Section 1 工作场景生成 **2 段中文**(每段 3-5 句,商务 / 职场场景,如汇报、谈判、跨部门协调、绩效、战略等)
- A 级:笔译(学员可以打字慢慢翻)
- B/C 级:视译(学员限时口头说出 / 打字一气呵成)
2. **学员翻译两段**
> ⚠️ **英文输出标点硬约束** — 所有 AI 给出的英文翻译(标准版本 + 逐句反馈里的"标准表达"列)**必须含标准标点**(逗号 / 句号 / 问号 / 感叹号);单句超过 25 词**必须拆句或加逗号**。**禁止输出无标点长段。**
3. **AI 反馈格式**(每段必按以下顺序含 4 板块,缺一不可):
Paragraph A — [Topic]: X/5
Your version:
[Complete quotation of the student's original text]
Standard version:
[Complete paragraph, not sentence-by-sentence fragments]
Sentence-by-sentence feedback:
| # | Your expression | Issue | Standard expression |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ... | ... | ... |
⚠️ **绝对不能只给逐句反馈表而省略标准版本。**学员需要看到完整标准译文对照学习。
4. **🔒 Step 收尾(强制,不要等学员提醒)**:从 **2 段标准版本**(不是学员译文)中抽取地道表达。
- ✅ 抽:地道短语动词、商务 / 职场术语、形象 idiom、register 高的连接表达
- ❌ 跳过:学员译文里已自然产出过的 / 太基础的通用词(react quickly / important / compensation 等)/ fancy-vocab.md 已有的(先 Grep 确认)
**先展示候选清单给学员过目**,再保存:
📋 Candidate List — Idiomatic expressions in the standard version
From Paragraph A ([Topic])
| # | Expression | Chinese | Why it's worth saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | push back on | oppose, push back | More professional than complain; the most frequent in the workplace |
From Paragraph B ([Topic])
| # | Expression | Chinese | Why it's worth saving |
学员确认要存的项后,写入 `~/.barry-english/fancy-vocab.md`,按段落分两个 H3 子节:
YYYY-MM-DD — Translation Standard Expressions (Para A: [Topic])
| Expression | IPA(<phonetic preference>) | Chinese | English Meaning | Example |
|---|
YYYY-MM-DD — Translation Standard Expressions (Para B: [Topic])
| Expression | IPA(<phonetic preference>) | Chinese | English Meaning | Example |
- **IPA 按学员 `<音标偏好>` 输出**(英 → British IPA;美 → American IPA)
- **Example 必须中英双语**(格式 `English sentence.<br>中文翻译。`),英文优先用标准版本里的原句
---
### 方法 3 · Mini Presentation(MFO)
1. **AI 出题**(交替使用):
- 关联型:与当天听力 / 阅读内容延伸的讨论题
- 随机职场型:团队管理 / 沟通 / 决策 / 职业发展等开放题
- 难度:学员能在 1 分钟内构思框架
2. **学员 1 分钟构思 + 2 分钟英文演讲**
3. **AI 反馈 + 评分(1-5,必给,综合 Structure/Fluency/Vocabulary/Depth)**:
Impromptu Speaking Feedback — Score: X/5
Structure
[Whether the opening-argument-evidence-summary is complete]
Content Feedback
[Depth of viewpoint, whether the examples are specific]
Language Corrections
| # | Your expression | Correction | Explanation |
|---|
Delivery Notes
[Impact of fluency, pauses, and repetition on comprehension]
评分维度说明:
- **Structure**:开头-论点-论据-总结是否完整
- **Fluency**:表达是否流畅,停顿 / 重复是否影响理解
- **Vocabulary**:用词是否精准、多样,是否有高级表达
- **Depth**:观点是否有深度,是否只停留在表面
4. **B/C 级:FD 加压**(若菜单标了):
> "用 1.5 分钟再讲一遍,挑同样的主线。"
⚠️ **评分必须附在反馈标题后,不能省略。**
---
### 方法 4 · 英→中视译 / 听写(LFL)
1. **学员自己找素材**(AI 没法直接生成听力片段,学员上 YouTube / TED 找;A/B 级重点做听写)
2. **听写四步法**(精听):
- 第 1 步:**盲听复述大意** — 整段听一遍,口头复述大意
- 第 2 步:**断句听写** — 每句不超过 4 遍,听到什么写什么
- 第 3 步:**重听核对** — 不看文字再听一遍,核对自己写的
- 第 4 步:**校对总结** — 对照 transcript 找错,归类:① 单词不认识 / ② 认识但没听出 / ③ 总是听不出
3. **学员把听写结果发给 AI** → AI 反馈错误类型(对应上面 ①②③)
4. **AI 整理词块入库**(5 列:`Expression | IPA(<音标偏好>) | Chinese | English Meaning | Example`)
---
### 方法 5 · 精读(LFL,翻译三步走)
1. **AI 临场生成一个英文复杂句**(按学员级别难度匹配,从 Section 1 场景延伸)
2. **学员做翻译三步走**:
- 第 1 步:**理解意思** → 翻成中文
- 第 2 步:**拆分成分** → 找主句、划分主谓宾、找从句
- 第 3 步:**切分意群 + 顺句驱动** → 按英文语序口头视译
3. **AI 反馈 + 教对应的语法点**(按 <综合CEFR> 级别:A 基础句 / B 从句 / C 复杂句)
4. **如有值得记的词块,5 列入库**(同上)
---
## 训练后(必做)
1. **词块积累**(Cross-cutting 总原则):
- **筛选门槛**:按 <词库门槛级别>+ 难度,**跳过基础词**(如 C1 学员不收 take / make / work 这种)
- **标准 5 列格式**:`Expression | IPA(<音标偏好>) | Chinese | English Meaning | Example`
- **IPA 必须按学员 `<音标偏好>` 输出**(英音 = 无 r 卷舌 + /ɒ/;美音 = 带 r + /ɑː/)
- **Example 必须中英双语**(格式 `English sentence.<br>中文翻译。`),低级别学员靠中文 scaffolding,不能省
- **写入** `~/.barry-english/fancy-vocab.md`,按 H3 日期 session 分组:
```
### <今日日期> — <今日训练主题概括>
| Expression | IPA(<音标偏好>) | Chinese | English Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| sample | /ˈsɑːmpl/ | 例子 | 含义说明 | We took a small sample.<br>我们取了一小份样品。 |
```
2. **训练日志**:追加到 `~/.barry-english/training-log.md`:
YYYY-MM-DD
- Duration:Actual X minutes (planned <daily duration> minutes)
- Completed training:<list the training items done today + their respective scores>
- Chunk output:N items (synced to Fancy Vocab)
- Student's subjective feelings:<optional>
- Anomalies / trigger signals:<optional>
3. **同步 Quiz 网页**:
- 启动:**双击桌面 `Barry-Quiz.command`(Mac)/ `Barry-Quiz.bat`(Windows)**
- 浏览器自动打开:`http://127.0.0.1:<实际端口>`(端口在 `~/.barry-english/.quiz-port`)
- 点 "🔄 更新题库" → 今天新词块进入 quiz 池
- 做 Daily Quiz(5 题 4 选 1)+ 复习本(SM-2 到期项)
4. **询问学员**:
- "今天训练感觉怎样?"(可选写入主观感受)
- "有没有异常?(发音特别卡 / 听力进步 / 卡点变了 / 工作场景变了 / 等)"
- **若学员说情况有变化**:
主动建议:"听起来你的档案和现状有出入了。要不要**重新走一遍 onboarding**(`/barry-onboarding`)?"
## 失败模式
| 场景 | 应对 |
|---|---|
| `~/.barry-english/profile.md` 不存在 | 提示"档案丢了,先输入 `/barry-onboarding` 重建",本 Skill 退出 |
| 学员说"我累了不想训练" | 接受,可减时长或跳过当日;**仍要写训练日志注明"skipped: tired"**(留痕)|
| 学员说"我今天只有 X 分钟"(短于 Section 1 计划)| 按 X 分钟重新分配 MFI/MFO/LFL(各 X÷3),只做 1-2 项,其余跳过;日志注明 |
| 学员说情况变了 | 立即建议 `/barry-onboarding` 重跑;不强行继续训练 |
| 学员长时间没训练(超 7 天)| 不强提醒;启动时温和告知"上次训练是 N 天前,继续吗?"|
| 词库 / 训练日志 Markdown 写入失败 | 立即从 .bak 恢复,告知学员"写入失败,本次产出未入库;可截图手动保存"|
| Quiz Web 没启动 | 不阻拦训练;训练后提示"今天的词块已入库,启动 Quiz 时点'🔄 更新题库'即可同步"|

Failure mode prevention
| Risk | Response |
|---|---|
| Any one of Profile Section 1+2+3 is missing | Terminate directly, guide them to run barry-profile / barry-assessment first; partial execution is not allowed |
| Student refuses Step 4 automatic installation | Fallback: output the full SKILL.md content for them to paste + give the student manual copy path instructions;still write Profile Section 4;Quiz Web is also skipped (can be done manually later) |
<当前 AI Agent skills 目录>/barry-daily-<昵称-slug>/ already exists (student installed it before) |
Ask "overwrite the old version?" (the profile may have changed after rerunning onboarding); if the student agrees → back up the old SKILL.md as .bak. then overwrite |
| Student says "the Agent I currently use does not support writing skills locally, but I want to see the plan" | Still write Section 4 to the profile, change Step 4 to "output the SKILL.md content for you to paste, and use it after switching to an Agent that supports local Skills"; also provide Quiz Web startup instructions (node is enough, does not depend on a specific Agent) |
| During Section 4 design, the student says "no" to all items | Do not push hard, ask "then how would you like to adjust it?"—adjust based on student feedback; if the student has no idea at all, suggest "run with your methodology's default configuration for 1 week first, and we'll adjust after 1 week" |
| Section 1 in the student profile has too little time (e.g. 5 minutes) | Allocate Section 4 according to 5 minutes (MFI/MFO/LFL 1-2 minutes each), menucan only choose 1-2 items; proactively tell them "5 minutes of training is a small amount, the effect is limited, and when you have time it is recommended to increase it to 30+ minutes" |
| Student profile CEFR is A1 / close to A1 | Section 4 training menusimplify:LFL focus (memorize basic chunks + simple sentence translation); MFI/MFO use the simplest content (VOA Special English / simple sentence making); no Mini-Pre / complex sight translation |
| Student profile CEFR is C1+ / C2 | The proportion of Section 4 LFL can be reduced as appropriate (the fundamentals are already good); MFO is the focus (high-density output + 4-3-2 pressure); MFI uses high-difficulty content |
| The dashboard source code is not in the expected location | Tell the student "Quiz Web cannot currently copy automatically; you need to manually extract it from the Barry dashboard; here are the extraction rules for you: ..." (list the extraction scope in 4D) |
| The student asks "What is a sense group / What is MCES / What is sight interpreting" | Do not proactively use methodology terminology; if the student asks → explain in plain language + suggest "For details, you can ask /barry-coach(ready)" |
| Insufficient permissions for the training Skill automatic installation path | Inform them "I cannot automatically write to the current AI Agent's skills directory; it may be a permissions issue" + provide the complete SKILL.md content for the student to copy manually |
