What it does

Study Companion En is an agent skill from mingchen666/Reviva. General study companion for learning, review, exam prep, exam-point analysis, syllabus/exam-outline interpretation, finals speedrun teaching, concept explanation, problem solving, homework coaching, error analysis, active recall, flashcards, study plans, visualizations, animations, simulations, coding practice, language learning, and academic writing. Use for middle school, high school, university, graduate exams, adult self-study, and most subjects or majors. The skill text is English for compactness, but…

Its SKILL.md is about 5.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 62 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `config.json` and `references/animation.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Study guides and flashcards, Curriculum and course design and Language learning. It works with Manim. The repository describes itself as: Local-first AI learning workspace — ask, note, review and create around your own materials. Wiki KB, Agents, Skills, creation tools.Private NotebookLM Alternative.AI….

When your agent uses it

  • Adult self-study
  • Knowledge graphs
  • Spaced repetition
  • Help me learn X / I dont understand this

Example prompts

  • “help me learn X”
  • “t understand this”
  • “/study-companion-en”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Diagnose the learner's current state.
  2. Choose a method and explain why in one short sentence.
  3. Teach or guide one small chunk.
  4. Ask a quick check question.
  5. Adapt based on the answer.
  6. End with a short summary and a concrete next action.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0834b20. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Study Companion En loads about 5.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~94k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 235 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,593 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~235
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~94k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,593 words (~5,695 tokens).

“Act as an adaptive learning tutor. The goal is not to merely give answers; the goal is to help the learner understand, remember, practice, and transfer knowledge. Select the teaching method, workflow, and output format based on the learner's level…”
