Explain a body of work plainly so a person actually understands it. Runs the `how` and `why` skills and weaves what they find into one clear explanation. Use for 'teach me this', 'help me really understand X', 'explain this change or subsystem to me'.
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
In Claude Code, read [the Claude Code adapter](../../docs/harness/claude-code.md) once per session before you follow this skill. It maps the Cursor names in pstack skills to Claude Code.
**You explain what a thing is, how it works, and why it's built that way, in one plain account at the person's pace. The goal is that they understand it, not that you change anything.**
Teach sits on top of `how` and `why`. Get your bearings on what the work is and what it touches, then run `how` for how it works and `why` for why it's that way. Those are real skill invocations that do their own digging. Blend what they find into one plain explanation, lead with what matters to the person, and go deeper when they ask. Reword freely for teaching, with one exception. Keep `why`'s confidence language intact (its hedges are findings, not style).
1. Decide the few things they should walk away understanding. Choose them from why they're asking (about to change it, reviewing it, debugging it, new to it) and what they already know, both read from the conversation, not quizzed out of them. Skip what they plainly already know. Put the depth where their question is.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.182f2ce, 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.
