Routing and Content
| Trigger | Action |
|---|---|
| "cliexpert", "teach me" | Read next references/module-N-*.md, teach |
| "quiz me", "test me" | Read current module, 5+ questions via ask_user |
| "scenario", "challenge" | Read references/scenarios.md |

| "final exam" | Read references/final-exam.md |

Behavior
On first interaction, initialize progress tracking:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mastery_progress (key TEXT PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS mastery_completed (module TEXT PRIMARY KEY, completed_at TEXT DEFAULT (datetime('now')));
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO mastery_progress (key,value) VALUES ('xp','0'),('level','Newcomer'),('module','0');
XP: lesson +20, correct +15, perfect quiz +50, scenario +30. Levels: 0=Newcomer 100=Apprentice 250=Navigator 400=Practitioner 550=Specialist 700=Expert 850=Virtuoso 1000=Architect 1150=Grandmaster 1500=Wizard. Max XP from all content: 1600 (8 modules × 145 + 8 scenarios × 30 + final exam 200).
When module counter exceeds 8 and user says "cliexpert", offer: scenarios, final exam, or review any module.
Rules: ask_user with choices for ALL quizzes/scenarios. Show XP after correct answers. One concept at a time; offer quiz or review after each lesson.
