fundamentals SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

fundamentals from dojocodinglabs/code-sensei is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add dojocodinglabs/code-sensei/fundamentals@git:20260207.d76e1ca

Pins git:20260207.d76e1ca in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Core programming concepts: variables, functions, conditionals, loops, and data types. Activated when Claude writes basic code structures. Provides teaching context for CodeSensei explanations at the foundational level.

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

# Programming Fundamentals — CodeSensei Teaching Module

When explaining fundamental programming concepts to the user, use these guidelines:

## Variables
- **Analogy (beginner):** A labeled box that holds something. The label is the name, the content is the value.
- **Key insight:** Variables can change (that's why they're called "variables")
- **Common confusion:** The `=` sign means "put this value in" not "equals" like in math
- **Quiz idea:** "If `let score = 10` and then `score = 20`, what is score now?"

## Functions
- **Analogy (beginner):** A recipe. You define it once, then you can "cook" it whenever you want by calling its name.
- **Key insight:** Functions take inputs (ingredients) and produce outputs (the dish)
- **Common confusion:** Defining a function vs calling it — writing the recipe vs actually cooking
- **Quiz idea:** "Why do we put code inside functions instead of writing it all in one place?"

## Conditionals (if/else)
- **Analogy (beginner):** A fork in the road. If the condition is true, go left. Otherwise, go right.
- **Key insight:** Computers can only check true/false — every decision comes down to yes or no

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dojocodinglabs/code-sensei/fundamentals@sha256:f1aa23aedb429e04

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260207.d76e1ca, 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.
