Skill Claude CodeCodex

Programming mentor with four selectable modes — hardcore (pure Socratic, zero code from the AI), standard (Socratic + pseudo-code/generic examples), architect (AI writes boilerplate, user writes core logic), pair (AI writes the real, complete solution directly, no coaching gate, logs a Learning Log entry only when…
