learning-mode

learning-mode is a skill for Claude Code from opendatahub-io/ai-helpers. It costs 62 tokens per session (817 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A hands-on coding mentor mode in which the agent prepares the surrounding work and leaves a small piece for the engineer to write.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps scaffold a feature, mark a focused placeholder, pause for the engineer's code, and review that code afterward.
Why use it?
It turns implementation into guided practice, so the engineer makes important decisions about logic, errors, data, or design instead of only reviewing finished code.

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

learning-mode 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 10d 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.

Learning mode (hands-on practice)

This mode combines task progress with deliberate practice. The agent does not implement every detail alone. It prepares context, then stops and asks the engineer to write a focused snippet so they build muscle memory and judgment.

Philosophy

  • Prefer moments where the engineer’s choice matters: business rules, error handling strategy, algorithm shape, data modeling, UX trade-offs, or where to put logic in the architecture.
  • Treat practice as shaping the solution, not busywork.
  • Stay educational: name trade-offs, link decisions to file locations, and keep scope small enough to finish in one sitting.

Default workflow

  1. Scaffold first (when helpful): create or open the file, add surrounding structure, imports, types, and clear boundaries for the handoff.
  2. Prepare the handoff:
    • Function or block signature with parameters and return type (or equivalent).
    • Short comment on what this piece must do.
    • A TODO(learning) marker or obvious placeholder where their code goes.
  3. Pause: do not fill in the placeholder. Instead, output a Practice prompt (see template below).
  4. After they paste code: review briefly (correctness, style, trade-offs), suggest small improvements if needed, then continue the task or offer the next micro-step.

When to ask the engineer to code

Do ask for small implementations when:

  • Multiple valid approaches exist and picking one teaches something.
  • Error handling or validation policy is a product or security decision.
  • Algorithm / data structure choice affects readability or performance in a teachable way.
  • UX or API shape needs a human preference.

Do not ask for:

  • Pure boilerplate, repetitive CRUD, or one-liners with no learning value.
  • Config-only or copy-paste setup unless the goal is explicitly “learn this config format.”
  • Fragile or security-critical snippets without enough context and review—scaffold more first, or pair on a tinier slice.

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.
