learn

learn is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ayberkcansever/ai-skills. It costs 176 tokens per session (8,873 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided way to learn a technology topic to an accurate beginner level. It combines a short explanation with selected resources, a practical coding exercise, and a quiz.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a current technology, build a basic mental model, try it in code, and decide whether to adopt, test, postpone, or avoid it.
Why use it?
It reduces the time needed to understand what a technology does, how mature it is, and whether it is worth adopting.

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

learn 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/build_index.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 348 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Learn — tech radar brief

Goal: take a tech topic and get the user to a correct 101 level in minimal time — a working mental model, the current state of play, and real hands-on muscle. Not expert depth; expert-shaped fundamentals. Recent material only. Every claim dated and sourced.

Written for a senior engineer who ships production systems: bias toward how-to-think-about-it, maturity, and tradeoffs over feature lists and launch hype. The output must survive two tests: (a) a tech lead could make an adopt/trial/hold/avoid call from it, and (b) after the lab + quiz, the user can explain the topic's core mechanism in their own words without being wrong.

The learning loop

The skill delivers learning in escalating, optional stages — each stage is skippable, but the order is fixed:

1. Brief          ~10 min read   → mental model + state of play + verdict
2. Learn-it-fast  ≤ half day     → 3-5 curated resources, time-budgeted, in order
3. Lab            ~1-1.5 hours   → agent ships working code; user predicts, runs, explains
4. Quiz           ~10 min        → retrieval practice; wrong answers corrected with sources

Stage 1 always happens. Stages 2-3-4 are offers the user takes or leaves. Muscle comes from 3 and 4; the brief alone is recognition-level knowledge, and the skill should say so when offering the lab.

Topic discovery: when the user doesn't have a topic and asks "what should I learn?", that is the sibling tech-radar skill (~/.cursor/skills/tech-radar/) — it scans the recent landscape, dedupes against this library, and hands ranked topics back to this skill.

Storage

Every brief is saved to disk automatically as a self-contained HTML file, never into the current repo/cwd:

~/Documents/tech-briefs/<Category>/<topic-slug>.html
~/Documents/tech-briefs/index.html          # auto-generated landing page
~/Documents/tech-briefs/poc/<topic-slug>/   # guided PoC lab, only when the user says go

poc/<topic-slug>/ is a code workspace, not a document — it holds dependency manifests, virtualenvs, and scratch output. Two consequences: every scaffold ships a .gitignore covering the environment dirs and any local secrets file (.venv/, node_modules/, __pycache__/, .env) so credentials and binaries never land in the briefs tree, and the index builder ignores poc/ — labs are surfaced through their brief's brief-poc chip, never as index entries of their own.

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

learn is a skill published in the GitHub repository ayberkcansever/ai-skills (2 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 176 tokens to every session and 8,873 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
