Everything you can say
The tutor is routed by what you say, not by commands. These are the phrases each skill listens for.
Everything you can say
You rarely type a skill's name. Say the phrase, or something close to it, and the tutor picks the skill. Words in angle brackets are yours to fill in: <env> is the name of one of your envs, <topic> is anything you want to learn.
