Teach a topic, video, article, codebase change, spec, or transcript until the user demonstrably understands it, using staged instruction, a running checklist doc, and quizzes. Use whenever the user says "teach me", "explain this in detail", "help me understand X", "/teach-me", "walk me through this", "I want to learn X", "understand this deeply", or pastes a YouTube URL, article, paper, PR, or spec and asks to understand it rather than summarize it. Also use when the user wants study notes or…

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

Deliver a session that ends with proof of understanding, not a wall of explanation.

The default failure mode is dumping everything at once and calling it teaching. This skill exists to prevent that. The user must restate, be quizzed, and be verified stage by stage.

## The one rule

**The session does not end until the user has demonstrated understanding of every item on the checklist.** Not until you have explained everything. Explaining is not teaching, and a nod is not mastery.

## When to Activate

1. The user says "teach me", "explain in detail", "help me understand", "walk me through", "/teach-me"
2. The user drops a YouTube URL, article, paper, PR, transcript, or spec and wants to understand it, not summarize it
3. The user is about to write, present, or decide on something and needs to actually hold the material
4. The user asks for eli5, eli14, or elii (explain like I am an intern)

Do not activate for a one-line factual answer or a plain summary request.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add qa-aman/claude-skills/teach-me@sha256:2fb0d4c388bf98a2

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.653eede, 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.
