# new-book: turn the plan into lessons The plan says what to teach. This skill writes it, in the exact shape a future session can pick up and deliver without thinking. Read `reference/teaching-rules.md` and `reference/file-formats.md` first. Every authoring agent gets the rules verbatim, because a lesson that breaks them is worse than no lesson. ## Step 1: find the next book Read `STATE.md`, `TOC.md`, `PROFILE.md`, and `.course/synthesis.json`. The next book is the first one in `TOC.md` whose chapter files do not exist under `books/`. If `.course/` is missing, say so plainly and offer to rebuild the plan from `TOC.md` and `TAXONOMY.md`. Those two files carry enough to reconstruct briefs, though the teaching angles from the original research will be lost. If the learner asked for a specific book out of order, check its prerequisites in `TOC.md` first and tell them what they will be missing. Then do what they asked. ## Step 1b: illustrated or not Read `.course/config.json`. If `illustrations` is on for this book or for the whole course, every lesson gets one image that carries the mechanism: a diagram, a photograph of the real thing, a chart. Never a decoration. Fetch them with `/getpix:getpix` after the chapters are written, and reference the saved file from the lesson. If the setting is missing and the subject is visual, anatomy, design, geography, hardware, anything where the thing itself must be seen, offer it once in a single question and record the answer in the
