connect-to-what-you-know

Builds durable understanding by forcing the user to connect a new concept to things they already know — analogies to other languages, prior patterns, similar abstractions in different domains. The agent never volunteers the analogy; the user produces it, the agent stress-tests it. Use when the user is learning something new and wants to anchor it to existing knowledge, when reading code that uses an unfamiliar pattern, when a concept "isn't sticking", or anytime they say "what does this remind me of?" or "connect this to what I know".
