rag-learning-academy: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/challenge/SKILL.md

challenge is a skill for Claude Code from TakaGoto/rag-learning-academy. It costs 10 tokens per session (1,133 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hands-on learning guide for designing retrieval-augmented generation systems, which answer questions by finding relevant information in a collection of documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for challenges such as building a FAQ bot, recipe finder, or book question-answering system at a chosen difficulty.
Why use it?
It turns RAG practice into open-ended tasks that require choosing how to handle documents, searches, and answers rather than only following fixed steps.

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

challenge 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 9d 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.

Challenge: Real-World RAG Challenges

Scope: This skill presents open-ended, multi-component challenges that require design decisions. For step-by-step guided construction of individual components, use /build.

Present the learner with a realistic RAG challenge that tests their skills across multiple components. Challenges are more open-ended than /build exercises — they require design decisions, not just implementation.

Language awareness: See .claude/LANGUAGE_AWARENESS.md.

Step 1: Select a Challenge

If the user specifies a difficulty or topic (e.g., /challenge advanced or /challenge multilingual), filter accordingly. Otherwise, recommend a challenge based on their progress.

Beginner Challenges

  1. FAQ Bot: Build a RAG system that answers questions from a FAQ document (provided). Must handle exact and paraphrased questions.
  2. Recipe Finder: Index a collection of recipes and build a retriever that finds recipes by ingredients, cuisine, or dietary restrictions.
  3. Book Q&A: Load a public-domain book, chunk it, and build a system that can answer questions about characters, plot, and themes.

Intermediate Challenges

  1. Multi-Document Synthesis: Build a RAG system that can answer questions requiring information from multiple documents. Test with a set of related articles.
  2. Conversational RAG: Add conversation history to a RAG pipeline so follow-up questions work correctly (e.g., "What about the second one?").
  3. Metadata-Filtered Search: Build a RAG system for product documentation where users can filter by product version, category, and date.
  4. Citation Generator: Build a RAG system that not only answers questions but provides exact source citations with page/paragraph references.

Advanced Challenges

  1. Multilingual RAG: Build a system that handles documents in multiple languages and queries in any of those languages.
  2. Legal Document Analyst: Build a RAG system for legal contracts that can answer questions about specific clauses, compare terms across contracts, and flag potential issues.
  3. Code Documentation Assistant: Build a RAG system over a codebase that can answer questions about architecture, find relevant functions, and explain code patterns.
  4. Real-Time RAG: Build a system that handles a continuously updating corpus (e.g., news articles) with minimal re-indexing latency.

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.

challenge is a skill published in the GitHub repository TakaGoto/rag-learning-academy (18 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 1,133 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
