What if AI could actually teach you, not just answer?
/teach is a Claude Code skill that turns Claude into a personal tutor. You pick a topic, and it builds you interactive lessons, a quiz, and a cheat sheet, all tailored to your goal and your level. It is stateful, so it remembers what you have learned and picks the right next lesson each session.
What you get
- Interactive lessons built around your goal, not generic ones
- A quiz that makes it actually stick, so you cannot fake-learn
- A reusable cheat sheet for quick reference
- Lessons pull from real, high-trust sources, never guesses
Before you start
You need Claude Code installed (the CLI you run in your terminal). That is the only requirement.
Setup (about 2 minutes)
- Open your terminal and run:
npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills
- When prompted, select the /teach skill.
- Choose Claude Code as your agent.
- Install it to your local project.
How to use it
- Open Claude Code inside the folder you want to use as your learning space.
- Run the command with your topic, for example:
/teach RAG
- Tell it why you want to learn this. This grounds every lesson in your real goal.
- It builds your first interactive lesson. Open it, go through it, take the quiz.
- Come back anytime. It tracks what you know and teaches the next right thing.
My example
I asked it to teach me RAG. It built an interactive lesson, quizzed me until it stuck, and left me a cheat sheet I still open. It also worked just as well when I used it to start learning French.
