Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_modulesA

List all modules in the dataflowr Deep Learning DIY course.

Can be filtered by session number, tag, or GPU requirement. Returns module IDs, titles, descriptions, and tags.

get_moduleA

Get full details for a specific module.

Includes description, notebooks with GitHub and Colab links, tags, and prerequisites. Use this when a student asks about a specific topic or module. Module IDs: '12' (Attention/Transformers), '2a' (PyTorch tensors), '18b' (diffusion), etc.

search_modulesA

Search modules by keyword across titles, descriptions, and tags.

Use this to find relevant modules for a student's question or topic. E.g. query='attention' finds the Transformer module; 'generative' finds GANs, autoencoders, flows, diffusion.

list_sessionsA

List all course sessions with their titles and module IDs.

Sessions group modules into ~2-3 hour teaching blocks.

get_sessionA

Get full details for a session, including all its modules, notebooks, and key takeaways.

Use this when a student wants to understand what a session covers.

get_notebook_urlB

Get the GitHub and Colab URL for a specific notebook.

Use this when a student wants to open or run a specific exercise. kind: 'intro' | 'practical' | 'solution' | 'bonus' | 'homework' (default: practical)

list_homeworksA

List all graded homeworks with descriptions and notebook links.

get_homeworkA

Get full details for a specific homework, including description, website URL, and notebook links.

get_slide_contentA

Fetch the lecture slide content for a module from the dataflowr/slides GitHub repo.

Returns the slide text (Remark.js markdown, cleaned). Use this when a student wants to review lecture slides or study the theory for a module.

get_quiz_contentA

Fetch the quiz questions for a module from the dataflowr/quiz GitHub repo.

Returns multiple-choice questions with choices, correct answers, and explanations. Use this when a student wants to self-test their understanding of a module. Modules with quizzes: '2a' (tensors), '2b' (autograd), '3' (loss functions).

get_notebook_contentA

Fetch the actual content of a course notebook from GitHub.

Returns markdown explanations and (optionally) code cells. Use this when a student wants to understand what a notebook covers, needs help with an exercise, or asks about specific code. kind: 'intro' | 'practical' | 'solution' | 'bonus' | 'homework' (default: practical) include_code: set False for explanations only (default: True)

get_notebook_exercisesA

Fetch only the exercise cells from a module's notebook.

Returns the exercise prompt (markdown) and the skeleton code the student must fill in. Skips all expository text, imports, and solution code. Prefer this over get_notebook_content when helping a student with an exercise — it gives the task without spoiling surrounding context. kind: 'intro' | 'practical' | 'solution' | 'bonus' | 'homework' (default: practical)

get_page_contentA

Fetch the text content of the course website page for a module.

Returns the lecture notes, explanations, and learning objectives as plain text. Use this for conceptual questions about a topic.

get_course_overviewA

Get a complete overview of the dataflowr course: all sessions, modules, and their relationships.

Use this to understand the full structure or to give a student a learning path.

sync_catalogA

Compare the local catalog against the dataflowr/website, /slides, and /quiz GitHub repos.

Lists modules/slides present in the repos but missing from the catalog, and catalog entries that have no corresponding source file.

get_prerequisitesA

Get the prerequisite modules for a given module, with full details for each.

Use this when a student asks 'what should I know before studying X?' or seems to be missing background knowledge.

check_quiz_answerA

Check whether a student's answer to a quiz question is correct.

Returns: correct (bool), the right answer with its text, and an explanation. Call get_quiz_content first to see the questions and choices, then use this tool to validate the student's response. question_number and answer_number are 1-based.

suggest_nextA

Suggest what to study after completing a given module.

Returns: (1) modules that directly list this one as a prerequisite, (2) the next modules in the same session, and (3) the start of the next session. Use this when a student finishes a module and asks 'what should I do next?'

Prompts

Interactive templates invoked by user choice

NameDescription
explain_moduleStart a tutoring session for a specific module. The agent fetches the module content, checks prerequisites, and explains key concepts step-by-step using the Socratic method.
quiz_studentStart an interactive quiz session for a module. The agent presents one question at a time, waits for the student's answer, then gives feedback before moving to the next question.
debug_helpHelp a student debug their code for a module's practical notebook. The agent reads the exercises and uses Socratic questioning to guide the student toward the solution without giving it away.
learning_pathBuild a personalised learning path toward a target module. The agent walks the full prerequisite chain and orders the modules the student still needs to cover. known_modules: comma-separated IDs of modules already completed (optional)
