Study a skill made by source-to-skill (a video, course, podcast, paper, book, article or docs skill) - quizzes one question at a time with spaced repetition, Feynman-style "explain it back" checks, a study plan over the lessons, and Anki flashcard export. Every answer cites the skill file and, for video and audio, the exact second. Use when the user says /skill-study, "quiz me on", "test me on", "flashcards from", "help me learn / remember", "study plan for", or "make Anki cards" about a…

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

# skill-study

Turn a skill made by source-to-skill into active recall. The skill's files
are the only ground truth: never quiz on, or correct with, facts that are
not in them.

Usage:

- `/skill-study <skill>` — quiz (default mode), due cards first.
- `/skill-study <skill> explain` — the user explains a concept, you check it.
- `/skill-study <skill> plan` — a study plan over the lessons or chapters.
- `/skill-study <skill> anki` — export flashcards for Anki.

`<skill>` is a path or a skill name. Find a name under `~/.claude/skills/`,
`~/.agents/skills/`, `~/.copilot/skills/`, then the project's
`.claude/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`, `.github/skills/`. Several matches or
none: list what you found and ask.

## Ground rules

- Read `SKILL.md` first, then only the support files the current question
  needs (`segments/`, `lessons/`, `chapters/`, `guides/`, `cheatsheet.md`).
- One question per turn. Wait for the answer before showing anything.
- Grade honestly: correct, partly correct (say what was missing), or wrong.
  Then give the answer in two or three sentences with its citation:
  `segments/03-training.md` plus the `&t=` deep link or `[hh:mm:ss]` when
  the file has one.
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add michalstrnadel/source-to-skill/skill-study@sha256:3187fa801559efe6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.e43070c, 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.
