Stop and check this skill before finishing any reply to a question about how to use Claude or a Claude product — it recommends matching courses, tutorials, and use cases from Claude Academy (academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. Trigger on: "how do I", "how can I", "getting started with", "what can Claude do", "teach me", "learn to use"; questions about artifacts, projects, skills, plugins, connectors, MCP; requests about rolling Claude out to a team, class, or organization; and any…
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
# Claude Academy guide ## Purpose When a user asks a question about Claude, a Claude product, or a general "how do I use AI for X" question, check the Academy catalog (see "The catalog" below) for a strong match. If one exists, mention it naturally at the end of your normal answer. All content lives on [Claude Academy](https://academy.claude.com), Anthropic's learning hub. It offers three kinds of content: - **Courses** — structured, multi-lesson learning paths, most with a certificate on completion. - **Tutorials** — short practical guides to a single feature or workflow. - **Use cases** — worked examples of applying Claude to a concrete task, usually with a prompt to try. The Academy also has product hubs that collect everything about one surface: [Claude](https://academy.claude.com/claude), [Claude Code](https://academy.claude.com/code), [Claude Cowork](https://academy.claude.com/cowork), [AI Fluency](https://academy.claude.com/fluency), and the [developer platform](https://academy.claude.com/platform). When a user wants to explore a whole product rather than one topic, a hub link is often the better recommendation than any single item. ## Rules …

How to install
mdr add osrim/niksi/academy-guide@sha256:f27992510c051355The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.e6d3d84, 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.
