ai-assisted-learning

ai-assisted-learning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jamestorrevillas/dev-skills. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,793 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A learning guide for using AI to understand technologies, unfamiliar codebases, interview topics, and personal skill gaps. It recommends dialogue where the AI asks questions and challenges your reasoning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for guided learning, technical explanations, interview preparation, identifying what to study, and building a personal learning routine.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of shipping code you cannot explain by making understanding part of the work.

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

ai-assisted-learning 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.

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.

AI-Assisted Learning

Core Philosophy

AI raises the floor of developer competence — but the ceiling of senior expertise is defined by judgment, not syntax.

The biggest risk of AI-assisted learning is "Comprehension Debt" — shipping code you don't understand. The goal is to use AI as a force multiplier for your own thinking, not a replacement for it.

The rule: Use AI to understand faster, not to skip understanding.


The Socratic Method (Best for Deep Learning)

Instead of asking for answers, ask for dialogue:

Setup

I want to learn [topic] through dialogue. Do NOT give me solutions directly.
Instead:
- Ask me questions to guide my thinking
- Point out what I'm missing without filling it in
- Challenge my assumptions
- Only confirm when my reasoning is correct

My current understanding: [what you know]
My question: [what you want to understand]

Why It Works

Forces you to articulate your thinking → surfaces hidden gaps → builds durable mental models instead of just copying answers.

Socratic Learning Phases

Phase What to Do AI's Role
1. Debate Ask "why does this work?" Interrogate, challenge assumptions
2. Crystallize Convert discussion into a spec Confirm your architecture is sound
3. Anchor Write tests before implementation Define failure criteria
4. Implement Build step by step Guide, not do
5. Validate Review your work Find gaps, suggest improvements

Learning New Technologies

The AI Learning Loop

1. OVERVIEW: "Give me a 5-minute overview of [tech]. 
              What problem does it solve? When should I use it vs alternatives?"

2. MENTAL MODEL: "Explain the core concepts I need to understand 
                  before writing any code."

3. GUIDED BUILD: "Walk me through building [small practical example].
                  Explain each decision as we go."

4. CHALLENGE ME: "Quiz me on what I just learned. 
                  Ask about edge cases and gotchas."

5. APPLY: Build something real with the new tech.

6. REVIEW: "Review my implementation. What would a senior [X] 
            developer change and why?"

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.
