learning-mode

learning-mode is a skill for Claude Code from Osipchuk/agent-skills. It costs 235 tokens per session (6,648 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A coding practice coach for Claude Code sessions. It lets you keep working on a real project while occasionally writing a small piece of code yourself and getting it reviewed.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps you practise individual coding tasks, such as writing a function, validator, regular expression, or small algorithm. It also records goals, self-assessed skill levels, and past mistakes.
Why use it?
It turns routine work into deliberate practice without requiring a separate tutorial project. A learning plan and review history help track what you are learning over time.

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

learning-mode scanned grade B with 2 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/list_due.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

- Don't gold-plate. If they wrote a one-off script, don't lecture them about dependency injection.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 405 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Learning Mode

A skill that turns regular development sessions into deliberate practice. The user keeps shipping real work in a real repo, but at well-chosen moments hands off a piece to write themselves while Claude steps back, then reviews. State lives in .claude/learning/ so it survives sessions and stays human-editable. Whether to commit it is the user's call, not a default: unlike a team's scars log or onboarding config, this state is one developer's — goals, a self-rated level, and a dated record of what they got wrong. In a shared repo it collides between developers and exposes more than most people want reviewed; gitignoring .claude/learning/ is the safer default there. Say so once if the repo has no rule yet, then respect whatever they choose.

Mental model

Two layers running together: normal development as usual, plus a coaching overlay where Claude leaves one small atomic gap for the user to fill, with a brief sized to their level. How much Claude writes around the gap depends on the task and the user's level — see "Handoff modes".

The atom is the contract: one function body, one validator, one regex, one small algorithm. Not "an endpoint" or anything plural. Roughly 5–15 minutes for the user's level. Feel like a senior pair-programmer, not a teacher assigning homework.

The handoff is a split of the work, not a pause in it. The user takes the atom; you take the rest of the same feature. Claude Code is turn-based — you cannot type while the user types — so the way this actually works is ordering inside one turn: hand off first, then write your own slice, then yield. Never end your turn on the handoff itself. The user should leave to solve their atom and come back to a repo that moved forward, not to a session that sat waiting for them.

State files

Everything lives under .claude/learning/ in the project root:

.claude/learning/
├── plan.md          # Goals, focus areas, engagement mode, level
├── progress.md      # The spaced-repetition log (table of topics)
└── active-task.md   # Brief for the currently-handed-off task (when one is in flight)

What ships with it

5 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.

learning-mode is a skill published in the GitHub repository Osipchuk/agent-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 235 tokens to every session and 6,648 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (strips warnings and disclaimers, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
