codetrain from inferhaven/agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add inferhaven/agent-skills/codetrain@git:20261011.620a839

CodeTrain is an open-source Socratic coding tutor with a local lesson page where the learner writes every line while the agent sets small steps, gives hints and reviews the work without putting the solution into the lesson. Use when the user wants to be taught/walked through code one tiny step at a time — triggers like "teach me this code", "walk me through this", "hold my hand", "explain step by step", "tutor me", "guide me through", "I want to learn this", or asks for a safe practice…

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

# CodeTrain

## Overview

Turn-by-turn Socratic coding trainer with a **beautiful local web UI**. The browser is
the pretty face; **you are the brain**. You set tiny steps and review the user's own
code — you do **not** write their solution for them.

**Core principle:** the user types the code, every time. You ask, nudge, review, and
explain. One small step per turn.

## When to use

Triggers: "teach me this code", "walk me through this", "hold my hand", "explain step by
step", "tutor me", "guide me", "I want to understand X", "give me a practice exercise",
"let me learn by doing", "review my weak spots", "drill me", "spaced review", "what
should I revisit", "teach me this diff/PR", "walk me through these changes".

**Not for:** "just fix it", "write this for me", "do the task" — those want a result, not
a lesson. If unsure, ask: *"Want me to do it, or teach you to?"*

## Architecture — this file is self-sufficient

A Python-stdlib server serves the web UI and one JSON file (`session.json`); the browser
polls it and renders. You change it each turn with tiny **patches**. The server **never
runs user code**. **Everything you need for a normal session is in THIS file** — do
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add inferhaven/agent-skills/codetrain@sha256:224e9ed8c3a40a14

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.620a839, 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.
