+# Training Recommendation Engine
+
+## How It Works
+
+MrC generates recommendations based on:
+1. What the student is currently working on (from board/asks)
+2. What level they're at in each track
+3. What gaps their tasks imply
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation Logic
+
+### If working on electrical tasks → Electrical Level 1 or 2
+| Task tag | Recommended level |
+|----------|------------------|
+| battery, wiring, PDB, breaker | Electrical Level 1 |
+| board build, PCM, CAN, PWM, crimping | Electrical Level 2 |
+| troubleshooting, diagnosis | Electrical Level 3 |
+
+### If working on mechanical tasks → Mechanical Level 1 or 2
+| Task tag | Recommended level |
+|----------|------------------|
+| chassis, actuator, drive | Mechanical Level 1 |
+| advanced mechanisms | Mechanical Level 2 |
+
+### If working on pneumatic tasks → Pneumatics Level 1 or 2
+| Task tag | Recommended level |
+|----------|------------------|
+| compressor, tank, solenoid, cylinder | Pneumatics Level 1 |
+| system design | Pneumatics Level 2 |
+
+---
+

+## For 2890-bot: How to Route Questions
+
+When a student asks "what should I work on?":
+
+1. Check their profile in `/entities/students/[name].md`
+2. Look at their current task tags
+3. Match tags to recommended level above
+4. Tell them the next logical step
+
+When a student asks a question they don't know:
+
+1. Check if the answer is in the training slides
+2. If yes → give the answer + "you're ready for Level X"
+3. If no → Oracle push to MrC
+

+
+## MrC's Role
+
+MrC monitors:
+- Student questions that route through 2890-bot
+- Board activity for task gaps
+- Ferry system for knowledge delivery
+
+MrC delivers:
+- Personalized next-step recommendations
+- Training material answers
+- Gap surfacing when students hit blockers
