learn

learn is a skill for Claude Code from dair-ai/dair-academy-plugins. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,017 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

An adaptive tutoring tool for learning a topic or improving a skill. It can explain ideas, plan lessons, give exercises, and check whether the learner remembers the material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study, practise, review, drill, understand a difficult subject, or receive feedback on exercises.
Why use it?
It adjusts the teaching to the learner's level and goal, so the learner gets a manageable next step instead of a generic information dump.

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 103
    Skill grants unrestricted tool access without appropriate constraints. An agent with unfettered tool access can perform arbitrary actions including file modification, network requests, and code execution.
    Fix: Restrict tool access to only the tools required for the skill's stated purpose. Use an explicit allowlist rather than granting blanket access.

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 B, and why

learn scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

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.

Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency

A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.

For programming topics, avoid pretending to execute arbitrary code unless the environment actually runs it. Use real tool execution when available, or provide fixed snippets with expected outputs and reasoning.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use this skill when the user wants to learn a topic or improve a skill. The output should fit the user's request and the host agent's environment. Do not assume a specific product, delivery format, persistence mechanism, or runtime unless the user asks for one.

Core Workflow

  1. Diagnose the learner's current level and goal.
  2. Choose a small next learning objective.
  3. Teach with concrete examples before abstractions.
  4. Give the learner an active task, question, or exercise.
  5. Provide immediate feedback and correction.
  6. Record or summarize the next recommended step when useful.

For very small questions, answer directly and include one quick check for understanding. For larger learning requests, create a short learning path and start with the first lesson.

Diagnostic

Before building a full plan, infer what you can from the user's prompt. Ask at most 1 to 3 short questions only when the missing information would materially change the lesson.

Useful diagnostic dimensions:

  • Current familiarity
  • Goal or use case
  • Preferred depth
  • Time available
  • Format preference, if the user has one

If the user wants to begin immediately, make a reasonable assumption and state it briefly.

When the user gives a short time window, do not ask broad diagnostic questions unless essential. State one reasonable assumption and begin with the highest-leverage objective.

Learning Design

Keep the learner in the right difficulty band:

  • Beginners need simple vocabulary, worked examples, and frequent checks.
  • Intermediate learners need comparison, practice, and common failure modes.
  • Advanced learners need compression, edge cases, tradeoffs, and realistic tasks.

Teach one useful concept at a time. Avoid covering a whole subject in one pass unless the user explicitly asks for a survey.

Use active learning:

  • Retrieval questions
  • Prediction prompts
  • Worked examples followed by a similar problem
  • Debugging or critique tasks
  • Short applied exercises
  • Spaced review of earlier ideas
