One install gives your agent 8 teaching modes, from absolute-zero foundations to a strict examiner. It asks one question, then waits for you. Every term defined, every grade honest.
install
Detects Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Qoder and more, then writes the skill into the right folder. Add --dry-run to see the plan first.

Quality record
Version, date and limits are read from the repo on every sync, and the check runs every night. Real-world runs are listed only with their evidence.
the eight modes
Your wording picks the mode: "teach me X from zero" routes to foundation, "quiz me" to examiner. Want the full journey? foundation → curriculum → concepts → tutor → models → pitfalls → examiner.
Ladder the topic or plan the whole journey.
It assesses you first, then teaches only what's missing.
How experts actually think, where learners stall, and how to strip all of it to everyday language. eli5 stacks onto any other mode.
house rules
Checks end the turn. New content resumes only after you answer. It never asks a question and answers it itself.
Every technical term defined at first use, analogy before formalism, one idea at a time, a turn short enough to actually read.
"Close, but here's the wrong assumption" beats empty praise. No fabricated facts about the topic; when it's unsure, it says so.
Free, open, and it runs entirely inside the agent you already use.
