Tutor the user through a source file with a cached summary, a guided walkthrough, and free-form Q&A — then persist a review record so future quizzes know what was covered.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /shikhu-study — guided file review before a quiz ## About shikhu Shikhu is a knowledge-coverage CLI that tracks how well a user understands *their own* codebase. It generates MCQ questions from each tracked file via an LLM (OpenRouter), quizzes the user in the terminal, and counts "golden" questions (answered correctly *and* user-validated as testing real understanding) — 3 goldens per file (1 for files under 75 non-blank lines) means the file is "covered." `shikhu` is the CLI entry point. There are two ways in. `/shikhu-study <file>` is the deliberate one: the user picks a file and you walk it. The other is **shikhu-inquiry**, which triggers when they ask a conceptual question mid-task — same destination, no ceremony. Both write to the same tables, so a question asked either way can seed a quiz. If the user is asking about their code in passing rather than sitting down to study a file, prefer shikhu-inquiry. …

How to install
mdr add arjunpatel7/shikhu/shikhu-study@sha256:9e2e2210d31d0e54The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.3fb32d4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
