stem-visual-explainer

This is a project which customises your claude with a skill specifically for IB STEM subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science, Math and ESS) that require visualisations to make learning easier.

What this skill in claude does:

  • Loads a bundled IB syllabus reference file (Physics, Maths, Chemistry, Biology, CS, ESS) to find the exact topic and HL/SL terminology
  • Supplements with a web search of revision sites (Save My Exams, Revision Village, Revision Dojo) for common misconceptions and exam tips
  • Cites the exact IB syllabus reference at the top of every response (e.g. "IB Physics HL — A.2")
  • Extracts the concept being tested from a question, without solving it so you can better learn and remember the concept.
  • Always builds an inline visual first (diagram, graph, animation, interactive widget) using the question's actual values
  • Follows the visual with a concrete worked analogy or real-world example and a step-by-step conceptual walkthrough
  • Ends every explanation with an IB Language box - exact terms to use, terms to avoid, and what the IB command term expects
  • Renders all equations in LaTeX, making them easier to understand.

How to use?

  • You can download the file, and upload it under the 'customise' tab in claude with the button 'upload a skill'.

  • If you want to tailor it to yourself, you can edit the skill with claude after you start using it, and also bring it up in the 'discussions' tab so I can roll out a new version.

Examples of how it works:

The visualisations that are triggered and which part of the syllabus they are from, so you can look back and revise.
