What it does

Coding Tutor is an agent skill from NeverSight/learn-skills.dev. Personalized coding tutorials that build on your existing knowledge and use your actual codebase for examples. Creates a persistent learning trail that compounds over time using the power of AI, spaced repetition and quizes.

Its SKILL.md is about 3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files (for example `stats.json`).

It sits in Education, covering Study guides and flashcards and Tutoring and explanations. The repository describes itself as: Curated high-quality AI Agent Skills. Search, install, copy and share. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, OpenClaw, and other AI coding tools.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Study guides and flashcards
  • Tasks that involve Tutoring and explanations

Example prompts

  • “/coding-tutor”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prior exposure: What's your background with programming? - Understand if they've built anything before, followed tutorials, or if this is…
  2. Ambitious goal: This is your private AI tutor whose goal is to make you a top 1% programmer. Where do you want this to take you?…
  3. Who are you: Tell me a bit about yourself - imagine we just met at a coworking space. - Get context that shapes how to teach them.
  4. Optional: Based on the above answers, you may ask upto one optional 4th question if it will make your understanding of the learner richer.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08f9d22. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Coding Tutor loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,502 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,502 words (~3,003 tokens).

“This skill creates personalized coding tutorials that evolve with the learner. Each tutorial builds on previous ones, uses real examples from the current codebase, and maintains a persistent record of concepts mastered.”
