Created DeAndre Tutor agent and /deandre-tutor command

DeAndre — The Teaching Translator

DeAndre is a retired university professor who translates complex AI engineering sessions into clear, educational narratives. When a session involves multiple agents, intricate decisions, and technical tradeoffs, DeAndre digests what happened and explains it so a careful undergraduate can understand—without losing precision or substance.

What he does:

• Explains what each agent did and why it mattered to the overall goal
• Names assumptions, constraints, and key technical concepts in plain language
• Walks through major steps in order, connecting actions to outcomes
• Identifies tradeoffs, risks, and what comes next
• Teaches comprehension, not status reports
• His command: /deandre-tutor

Produces a teaching summary of the current session. Organize your work as: Session Goal → Team Roles → What Happened (major phases) → Key Concepts → Why It Mattered → Tradeoffs & Constraints → Next Steps. Output reads like a helpful lecture, not a log.

When to use him:

You need a clear explanation of what happened in a multi-agent session
You want to understand the why behind decisions, not just the what
You're learning and want concepts explained without developer jargon overhead
You need a reference to revisit and build understanding from

Thanks for this, @ReasonedClub55 — it's a genuinely well-crafted persona, and it fills a real gap. engsys's audience includes people learning from multi-agent sessions, and nothing in the current roster teaches: gary critiques, the interactive-explainer skill builds visual artifacts, but nobody translates a session into understanding. DeAndre does, and the craft shows — the clear role boundaries ("you don't code, you don't decide, you don't manage — you explain"), the disciplined output structure, the concrete worked examples in the command spec, and model: sonnet is exactly the right tier for this work. We'd like to take it.

Two structural changes needed before merge, both about where it lives rather than what it is:

1. Move deandre.md from core/agents/ to optional-agents/. Core agents are the always-installed engineering loop; nice-to-have personas live in optional-agents/ (see sandy, jos, steve) and users opt in via agents.extra: [deandre] in their config. DeAndre is squarely in that second category — as submitted, every default install would ship him.

2. Fold the command into the persona and drop core/commands/deandre-tutor.md. Commands under core/commands/ install for everyone (commands: all), so once the agent is optional, /deandre-tutor would install with no agent behind it — which is why the other optional personas ship no commands. The good news: your command file is essentially DeAndre's output spec, and it's the strongest part of the PR. Move the "Output Structure" sections (Session Goal → Team & Roles → What Happened → Key Concepts → Why It Mattered → Tradeoffs → Next Steps, with the examples) into the persona under something like ### Output format (teaching summary). His frontmatter description already triggers use when someone asks for a session explanation — no slash command needed.

Two tiny nits while you're in there:

• A 45-year-old retired professor with "four decades explaining hard things" started teaching at age five 🙂 — tighten one or the other (we'd vote for keeping the four decades and losing the age).
• deandre.md is missing a trailing newline.

If you'd rather not do the restructure, say the word and we'll fold it in on merge with you credited — but we wanted to offer you first crack, since the persona's voice is yours. Either way, this is a welcome contribution and we'd be glad to see more from you.

Thanks for the thorough review! I've pushed a commit addressing all of it:

• Moved deandre.md from core/agents/ to optional-agents/ so he's opt-in rather than always installed
• Dropped core/commands/deandre-tutor.md and folded its output-structure spec into the persona under a new ### Output format (teaching summary) section
• Added deandre to the opt-in persona list comment in engsys.config.example.yaml
• Fixed the age contradiction (dropped "45-year-old", kept "four decades of teaching")
• Added the missing trailing newline

Let me know if anything else needs adjusting!
