Lathe Uses LLMs to Teach New Domains, Not Shortcut Them

Lathe is an open-source CLI and local server that leverages LLMs to generate structured, source-backed tutorials from documentation and code. Unlike tools that optimize for quick answers, Lathe creates guided lessons with exercises and traceable sources to help developers genuinely master unfamiliar domains. The project features model attribution bylines, a hardened local server, and support for multiple LLM providers, aiming to transform how programmers onboard to new technologies.
