learn

learn is a skill for Claude Code from boykush/scraps. It costs 128 tokens per session (2,782 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided learning workflow that explains one source, connects it to existing Scraps wiki pages, checks the user's understanding, and records only the points they demonstrate they understand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study a source, answer comprehension questions, and create one evidence-based wiki page in the user's language.
Why use it?
It prevents an AI-written summary from being mistaken for the user's own knowledge. If understanding is not shown, it writes nothing.

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 2d 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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Learn

Help the user understand a source, then record only what they understood as one page in the wiki.

The wiki is a record of the user's understanding, not of what its sources say. When an AI drafts a summary and the user approves it, nobody can tell what was understood from what was merely read and nodded at. So before anything is written, the user answers for themselves. The goal is the user's understanding, and the page is what remains of it. A run that ends with nothing written, because understanding was not reached, has ended correctly.

Hold the dialogue and write the page in the user's language.

Boundaries

  • Write no file until the comprehension check is done.
  • Write only what passed the check. Something you explained is not established until the user has shown they understand it.
  • One run produces one page. If the source holds several concepts, pick the central one and name the rest as candidates for later runs.
  • State as fact only what you verified in a primary source. Analogies and examples are fine as teaching aids, but build the questions and the page from what the source says.
  • Do not write the user's answers for them. If you quietly fix a wrong answer and let it pass, the page records your understanding, not theirs.
  • Change existing pages only by turning literal mentions the user approved into links.
  • Do not widen the work into tidying or auditing the wiki.

Asking the user

Several steps put choices to the user. How depends on the client, so decide it from the tools you actually have:

  • When the client has a tool for asking multiple-choice questions (for example AskUserQuestion in Claude Code), use it. Its definition says how many questions a call takes, how many options a question takes, and whether several options can be picked; stay inside those.
  • When there is no such tool, or what you need to ask does not fit it, ask in the message body: number the questions, letter the options, say how to reply (for example 1b 2d), then stop and wait.
