Use when the user wants to be taught a subject, not just answered — "teach me X", "help me learn X", "help me understand X", "help me grok X", "explain how X works", "quiz me on X", "I keep bouncing off X" — where X can be anything: a historical period, a statistical method, music theory, a poem, a legal concept, a cooking technique, a library, a codebase, or a code change. Change-focused asks belong here too: "explain this diff/PR/branch", "walk me through this change…

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

# Teach Me

Turn a subject into a lesson, not a summary.
A summary tells the reader what is true; a lesson leaves them able to explain it, apply it, and check themselves.
The structure comes from learning science — each design choice names its principle inline, and full citations live in `ATTRIBUTION.md`.

## Invocation Notice

- Tell the user when this skill is running: `teach-me`.
  Skip the notice when the user asked for the skill by name or slash command; spelling and spacing need not match.
  A phrase from this skill's own trigger list is not a name — naming the work is not naming the skill.

## Writing Style

Write as a professional technical writer, with the clarity of Martin Kleppmann.
Lean toward ASD-STE100: short sentences, active voice, one term per concept.
Keep identifiers, commands, and paths exact.

Use industry- or domain-standard terms, and define each on first use.
Never coin your own terms.
A made-up label reads as standard vocabulary, teaches a word that exists nowhere else, and blocks the reader from finding real sources.
If a concept has no standard name, describe it in plain words instead of naming it.

## Sizing the Lesson

Decide two axes per invocation:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahgraber/skills/teach-me@sha256:b5e2673d9cb12469

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260819.209d97b, 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.
