Make your own version

This skill depends on local details, so the site publishes a brief instead of one institute's skill. Copy the brief and give it to your agent. If your agent has a skill-creation skill, such as Anthropic's skill-creator, it will use it. The agent asks you the questions under "Local details", builds the skill, and runs it once on the test case.

An agent that can read web pages can also fetch the brief itself from https://aiforscientists.eu/skills/teach-me/brief.md.

# Skill brief: teach-me

Source: https://aiforscientists.eu/skills/teach-me/
Recipe: Write, review and teach (https://aiforscientists.eu/recipes/09-write-review-teach/)

Build a skill for my own setting from this brief.
If you have a skill-creation skill or tool, use it.
Before you write anything, ask me each question under "Local details", one at a time.
Do not guess an answer; if I do not know one, leave a marked TODO in the skill.
Keep every rule under "Never" in the skill you write.
Write the check under "How to check the output" into the skill, so that it runs every time.
Then run the skill once on the test case and show me the result.

## Purpose

Turns a topic or paper into an interactive tutorial with questions.

## Inputs

- A topic, paper or chapter.
- The level of the learner.

## Output

- A tutorial in steps, each with an explanation, a question and the answer.

## Steps

1. Read the material and list the concepts it needs.
2. Order them from basic to advanced.
3. Write one step per concept, with a question that checks understanding.
4. Cite the source for each step.

## Local details

1. Who are the learners, and what do they already know?
2. In which format should the tutorial be delivered (web page, notebook, flashcards)?
3. Which tasks must students do by hand first?

- Never replace a task the course requires students to do by hand.
