Overview

This skill turns Claude Code or another coding agent into a Socratic tutor for a codebase. Instead of explaining the whole repository, it teaches through questions, small challenges and active recall, and keeps a learning journal that tracks what you have mastered and schedules reviews. Use it with /learn-codebase when you join a new project or want to understand code you already work on more deeply. It needs the journal template and question-pattern files that ship beside the skill. You get a working understanding of the codebase and a journal of what to review next.

  • Turn scanned worksheets into a practice appThis skill gives a coding agent a full method for turning scanned or photographed learning materials, such as workbook pages, into a practice app for desktop, the web or a phone. It covers transcribing the pages, assembling the question data, grading driven by the answer key, mistake review, product design, validation and keeping the question set up to date. Use it only with materials you have the rights to adapt. You get an interactive practice app built from your own worksheets, with grading and review.Education
  • Learn a subject with a tutor that checks your workmagnus919's teach-me skill tutors you toward something you want to be able to do, using explanations drawn from real sources. It starts with a short task to see what you already know, then mixes explanation, practice and feedback that adapts to your answers. It is for learning, practice and refreshing a topic, not for doing the task for you or for life coaching.Educationeducationtutoring

  • Build a learning path for a topicThis skill makes a step-by-step learning plan for a topic you want to pick up over several sessions. It checks what you already know, orders topics from basics to applied work, and sets milestone projects with checkpoints. The plan includes practice assignments and a rubric for reviewing progress.EducationLearningPlanning
  • Make a short two-host audio course on a subjectassafkip's claudemy skill builds a short audio course on a topic you want to learn. It researches the subject on the web, notes where good sources agree and disagree, then writes and renders two-minute lessons voiced by two hosts, each paired with a single-screen summary card and a small exercise. It can also base the course on one person's body of work.EducationLearningAudio
  • Write a separate onboarding guide for each of four roles on a code repoMicrosoft's wiki-onboarding skill has an agent write onboarding documents for a code repository, one each for a new contributor, a staff engineer, an engineering executive and a product manager. It saves them in an onboarding folder with an index page that links all four. Before writing, it works out whether the repo has a remote so each guide can cite exact files and lines. It is part of Microsoft's deep-wiki plugin.Educationonboardingdocumentation
