Every study guide is built into the Alex extension

When you open a study guide in VS Code, Alex automatically loads the persona — custom instructions, suggested prompts, and domain vocabulary tuned for your discipline. You don't need to configure anything. Just install Alex and pick your guide.

Each study guide is a domain-specific use-case library — seven scenarios with ready-to-run prompts, follow-up patterns, and a practice plan. They're not habit guides (for that, see Self-Study). Below, all 76 guides are grouped by domain. Most people find their primary guide here, then borrow one or two from adjacent categories.

Technology & Engineering

Software, infrastructure, data, security, and the people who build and maintain systems.

Business & Professional Services

Strategy, sales, operations, finance, and career advancement.

Creative & Media

Writing, design, storytelling, and content production across formats.

Education & Research

Teaching, learning, academic publishing, and grant funding.

Health, Law & Human Services

Patient care, legal work, organizational culture, and community impact.

Allied Health & Clinical

Patient care, clinical skills, certification exam preparation, and healthcare career pathways.

Trades, Technology & Applied Sciences

Hands-on technical programs — from automotive to aviation, cybersecurity to biotechnology.

Community, Creative & Human Services

Justice, education, human services, creative arts, and community-facing careers.

Tip: You're not limited to one guide. A Product Manager might combine PM + Developers. A founder might use Executives + Sales + Marketing. Mix what fits your work.
