Pure markdown skills are trivially recreatable. I think the value of them is more the idea than the artifact.

I think a lot of people use 'fork' to bookmark a repo

I'd be curious to see whether learners can still solve similar problems on their own a week later

I want an AI that I can give a paper, and then sits with me to understand it, maybe even implement it (though this is the easy part for the LLM).

You should probably try [AlphaXiv](https://www.alphaxiv.org/), they are building what you want.

I use it as a better PDF reader for arxiv paper but they are going all in on AI teaching/explaining things.

Love this. There is so much value when using LLMs this way, it needs effort and consistency from the user but the results are really good.

A vanilla version of this is, at the end of a session, ask the model to generate a couple of "ultimate" questions to really flex your understanding. Obviously, the quality depends on the model but I've found it useful.

Reminds me of Keating AI. Highly recommend: https://keating.help/

Has anyone tried ChatGPT's study mode? I thought it was supposed to be just like this, but I was underwhelmed when I tried it, and they ended up removing it. (It might be back now?)

I have the leaked prompt around here somewhere...

Copilot has a study and learn mode. It's ok.

Socratic tutor skill isn't new at all, why did this reach the front page

I’ve been building a harness for just this all year, they’re great. One of the main use cases for LLMs I think is largely overlooked.

Good thing with skills being just markdown text you can use them in any harness. Just imported into my phone harness (I already had a Socratic tutor like skill), but this crispier.

Do you have something you could share, and can it be repurposed for use with kids?

Do you have readily available access to professionals in every field you're curious about? I'm interested in learning more about electricity but don't know anyone who's certified.

I wish I could just go to any university and talk to professors and have a socratic discussion about many subjects. Unfortunately doesn't work that way in reality.

Trying it right now. it's pretty decent and it does sort of make my brain work. Pondering right now when the "bitter lesson" will make these skills useless.

"These skills" being making your brain work, or this Socratic tutor SKILL.md?

hahaha, I meant the skill.md from Jane Street. But I'm currently fighting for my brain every day now too!
