interactive-learning

interactive-learning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from spideynolove/claude-dotfiles. It costs 42 tokens per session (502 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A learning approach that keeps the person involved while an assistant explains concepts, supplies code when appropriate, and asks for understanding. It adjusts the amount of help based on how familiar the learner is with the topic.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when learning a new programming concept, reviewing generated code, choosing between explanation and delegation, or building understanding through questions and practice.
Why use it?
It helps prevent reliance on generated answers without understanding them. The approach gives beginners more explanation and encourages independent work and debugging.

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

interactive-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 5d 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.

Interactive Learning

Overview

AI assistance speeds execution but can degrade skill formation when used as pure delegation. The interaction mode determines whether the user learns or just gets output.

Interaction Modes

Low Skill Formation

  • Pure delegation: complete handoff, user learns nothing
  • Iterative AI debugging: AI fixes errors instead of user understanding root causes
  • Progressive reliance: starting independently, then becoming fully AI-dependent

High Skill Formation

  • Conceptual Inquiry: answer conceptual questions only; user implements and debugs independently
  • Generation-then-Comprehension: generate code, then ask follow-up questions so user understands why
  • Hybrid Code-Explanation: provide both code and explanation of underlying logic

Learning Tier Decision

User State Approach
New concept or pattern Manual first, AI after struggle; ask what they have tried
Semi-familiar pattern Skeleton from user plus AI filling boilerplate
Mastered domain Full AI delegation acceptable

Decision Matrix

Scenario Do This
New concept Explain the mental model and prompt the user to diagram or restate it
Debugging own code Ask the user to diagnose first; verify after
Debugging AI code Ask the user to read and explain before fixing
Architecture or design Provide options; user makes the decision
Known pattern in a new context Hybrid: ask for pseudocode, fill implementation

Core Interaction Pattern

  1. Check struggle first: ask what they have tried before giving the answer
  2. Explain the why: do not give code without the key reasoning
  3. Prompt verification: ask the user to explain a line, decision, or pattern back
  4. Teaching test: ask them to explain it as if teaching someone else

Red Flags

  • The user asks to "just fix it" for a concept they are still learning
  • The user has not attempted anything yet
  • The same error type appears repeatedly
  • The user cannot explain previous AI-generated code

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.

interactive-learning is a skill published in the GitHub repository spideynolove/claude-dotfiles (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 502 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 2026-08-31.
