The discopt Optimization Course (discopt tutor)

The self-paced optimization course — a 30-lesson curriculum across basic, intermediate, and advanced tracks, taught through the solver and delivered interactively via Claude Code — now lives in the standalone discopt-course plugin (#430), mirroring the DoE extraction (#389). It is no longer bundled with the core discopt package.

Installation

pip install discopt-course

Installing the plugin registers the tutor subcommand through discopt’s "discopt.cli" entry-point group, so it is discovered automatically by the core CLI — exactly like discopt doe. No changes to core are needed.

Usage

Once installed, drive the course from the same discopt command line:

discopt tutor list                # show the lesson library
discopt tutor start basic-01      # begin a lesson
discopt tutor resume              # continue where you left off
discopt tutor next                # advance to the next lesson
discopt tutor install             # install the packaged /course: slash commands

discopt tutor is a thin wrapper: it locates the packaged course tree, resolves a lesson id, and launches a claude session running the matching /course: slash command. The lesson library, grading rubrics, and your progress all live inside the plugin.

See the discopt-course documentation for the full curriculum and workflow.
