At a glance

A skill your agent uses when user asks for learning resources, recommendations, or materials on any topic.

  • Works in 2 steps: Check for Existing Plan → Present Resources
  • User asks for learning resources
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Data Schemas and Process
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Resources is an agent skill from kirilxd/claude-tutor. Use when user asks for learning resources, recommendations, or materials on any topic. Triggers on "find me resources", "what should I read about", "best tutorials for", "recommend a book on", "good courses for", "where can I learn more about", "any videos on", or any request for curated study materials. Also use when user wants to browse what's available before committing to a full learning plan — this skill works with or without an existing plan.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Education. The repository describes itself as: Turn Claude Code into your personal tutor — personalized learning plans, adaptive quizzes, SM-2 spaced repetition, and a web dashboard. Works with any topic. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks for learning resources
  • Recommendations
  • Materials on any topic
  • Find me resources

Example prompts

  • “find me resources”
  • “what should I read about”
  • “best tutorials for”
  • “/resources”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check for Existing Plan
  2. Present Resources

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce19469. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Resources loads about 724 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~724

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Resources — Curated Learning Materials

ALWAYS use the AskUserQuestion tool when asking the user questions, in any context. If you have too many questions for the tool, split them up into multiple calls.

Overview

Provide curated external resources for a topic, either from an existing learning plan or via fresh web research. Group by type, note free vs paid, and organize by module when a plan exists.

Data Schemas

The resources skill reads data written by the learn skill. Here are the formats:

index.json (~/.claude/learning/index.json) — look up topics[slug].planFile to find the plan path.

Plan files (~/.claude/learning/plans/<slug>-<date>.json) — contain modules[], each with resources[] where each resource has title, url, type (docs|video|tutorial|book|course), and free (boolean).

Process

Step 1: Check for Existing Plan

Read ~/.claude/learning/index.json and look for the requested topic.

If a plan exists:

  • Read the plan JSON from ~/.claude/learning/plans/[file]
  • Extract all resources organized by module
  • Present them grouped by type within each module

If no plan exists:

  • Perform fresh web research (3-5 searches, same as the learn skill's research phase)
  • Curate and present results
Step 2: Present Resources

With existing plan — organize by module:

── Resources: [Topic] ────────────────────────────

### Module 1: [Title]

📖 Documentation
  • [Title] — [url]
    [one-line description if helpful]

🎥 Videos & Courses
  • [Title] — [url] (free|$paid)

📝 Tutorials
  • [Title] — [url]

📚 Books
  • [Title] — [author] (free|$paid)

### Module 2: [Title]
...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

Without plan — organize by type:

── Resources: [Topic] ────────────────────────────

📖 Official Documentation
  • ...

🎥 Video Courses
  • ...

📝 Tutorials & Articles
  • ...

📚 Books
  • ...

💡 Tip: Use /learn [topic] to create a structured learning
   plan that organizes these resources into modules.
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Resource Quality Rules
  • Prefer official documentation and well-known sources
  • Always note free vs paid
  • Include a mix of formats (not all videos, not all text)
  • For subtopic-specific requests, focus resources narrowly
  • If resources from the plan are stale or broken, supplement with fresh search
