A new plugin that transforms Claude from a code generator into a patient coding mentor, guiding you through problem-solving without giving direct answers.

Commands:

  • /learn - Activates teaching mode with a 5-phase flow:
    • Assessment → Foundation → Guided Implementation → Error Discovery → Reinforcement
    • Uses Socratic questioning instead of direct answers
    • Provides hints and guidance rather than solutions
    • Includes escape hatch for users who explicitly need answers
  • /learn-review - Socratic code review that helps you discover issues yourself:
    • Reviews code through targeted questions
    • Guides you to find bugs by tracing through edge cases
    • Probes design decisions to deepen understanding
    • Question banks for logic, performance, readability, and security

Why use it?

Research shows that productive struggle leads to better knowledge retention than passive consumption. This plugin helps you actually learn to code rather than just copy-paste solutions.
