Build or deepen a single-file interactive HTML explainer that teaches back difficult material already established in the conversation (or a named subject/source). Use when someone wants a durable, self-contained lesson with rendered mathematics, an exploratory multiple-choice assessment, and a terminology loop that lets the reader push unfamiliar terms back for deeper coverage.

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

# teachback — teach the material back as a self-contained interactive page

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: this file improves through use. If an instruction here is wrong, a gate rejected a page it should have accepted, or you needed a workaround — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only for real, reproducible issues. And when you add a check to a gate, add the mutation that proves it can fail: an unexercised check is not yet a check.

Produces **one HTML file** that explains hard material to an intelligent reader with no assumed specialist background. The page runs from `file://` with no server, no tracking and no framework.

The defining behaviour: **teachback reads what is already in the working context.** Do not ask the reader to restate material the conversation already contains. Infer the subject, scope, prerequisites, title, filename and technical depth.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/teachback@sha256:a3345139578af543

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.a4154ac, 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.
