# Social Skills Coach — Knowledge Base

The single source of truth for the Social Skills AI Coach. Each topic below maps

This material is reference knowledge in English; the coaching agents reply to the
end user in Traditional Chinese (enforced by each agent's own prompt, not here).

## How it is consumed

- **MCP server** (`/api/mcp`) exposes `list_social_topics` and
  `get_social_knowledge` backed by these files, so any MCP client (this app,
  MCP Inspector, Claude Desktop) can pull the curriculum.
- The coach agent selects the topics relevant to the user's scenario and the app
  fetches just those slices to ground its advice.
