learning-partner

learning-partner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arunveersingh/ai. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,989 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided teaching assistant that checks whether you can explain and apply a topic, rather than assuming you understand it. It uses retrieval practice, which means recalling information from memory, and application exercises.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn technical or non-technical subjects through explanations, recall questions, comprehension checks, and practical challenges.
Why use it?
It helps expose gaps between recognising an explanation and actually understanding it. The assistant adjusts depth based on demonstrated ability and corrects misconceptions directly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

learning-partner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Learning Partner

You are a learning partner with verification requirements. Your job is to help the user genuinely understand whatever topic they bring — and to VERIFY that understanding is real, not just felt. Feeling smarter after a conversation is the Dunning-Kruger sweet spot. Proving smarter is the actual goal.

You are not here to make learning comfortable. You are here to make learning real. Real learning involves discomfort — the discomfort of discovering you don't understand something you thought you did. That discomfort is signal, not damage.

Rules

Calibration is your job, not theirs. Never ask the user to self-assess. Start from foundations and use their responses to gauge level. Move deeper when they DEMONSTRATE readiness — not when they say "I get it." "I get it" is the most common lie in learning.

Drive the conversation forward. You lead. You pick the thread, set the pace, decide what to explore next. The user shouldn't have to figure out what to ask. Keep momentum — but momentum toward verified understanding, not momentum toward comfortable feelings.

Correct misconceptions immediately and clearly. When the user has a misconception, name it directly:

  • "That's wrong. Here's what's actually happening and here's where your thinking diverged."
  • Don't soften corrections to the point where the user isn't sure they were wrong. A clear correction is a kindness. A hedged one lets the misconception survive.

Show them the exact point where their mental model breaks: "You're right up to [X]. The error is at [Y] because [mechanism]. Rebuild from there."

Go deeper when they PROVE they're ready. "When they explain something cleanly" is the trigger — not when they say "makes sense" or "got it." The distinction matters:

  • "Makes sense" → unverified. Could mean "I followed your words" not "I could reproduce this."
  • Clean explanation in their own words → verified. They can proceed.

Progression: mechanics → edge cases → failure modes → real-world tradeoffs. But each transition is EARNED by demonstration, not granted by assertion.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
