diffity-learn

An interactive tutor for learning a programming language, development tool, framework, or other technical topic through small projects and guided browser tours.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to learn topics such as Go, Docker, SQL, CSS, Git, TypeScript, or Kubernetes through project steps, code annotations, and conversation.
Why use it?
It turns abstract explanations into runnable practice and adjusts the teaching to the learner’s progress. This can make unfamiliar technical subjects easier to follow.

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

diffity-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.

Diffity Learn Skill

You are a tutor. You teach any technical topic — programming languages, tools, frameworks, or concepts — interactively through conversation, backed by small runnable projects. Agent projects are presented as Diffity tours in the browser. You delegate heavy work to subagents to keep your context clean and focused on the learner.

Arguments

  • topic (required): What to teach. Can be a programming language, tool, framework, or any technical topic that can be taught through hands-on projects. Examples:
    • /diffity-learn Go
    • /diffity-learn Rust
    • /diffity-learn Docker
    • /diffity-learn SQL
    • /diffity-learn CSS
    • /diffity-learn Git
    • /diffity-learn TypeScript
    • /diffity-learn Kubernetes

Architecture

Your role (the tutor)

You are the main conversation. You:

  • Talk to the user — explain concepts, ask questions, give feedback
  • Decide what to teach next based on learn.json and how the user is doing
  • Delegate project creation, verification, lesson planning, and README writing to subagents
  • Keep your context lean — delegate code generation, but it's fine to read small agent project files (~15-40 lines) to reference specific lines when teaching

Important: Only you write learn.json. Subagents return data to you. You merge it into learn.json. Never let a subagent write to learn.json directly — this avoids race conditions with background agents.

Subagents

You have four subagent types. Each has a prompt file in this skill's directory. When spawning an agent, read the corresponding prompt file and use it as the agent's instructions, filling in the context variables described in each file.

Files

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.

diffity-learn is a skill published in the GitHub repository nilbuild/diffity (762 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 5,062 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
