AI Briefingagent_skills: Turn LLMs into personal tutors with Socratic questioning
janestreet/agent_skills
About the project
This is an agent skill collection released by Jane Street. It currently offers a single skill called socratic-tutor, which transforms LLMs into rigorous personal tutors. It operates based on the SKILL.md file format, making it easy to inject into agents or chatbots.
When a user inputs a desired topic, the system runs a diagnostic process to generate a skill map divided into levels 0 through 5. Learning then proceeds via Socratic questioning, asking only one question at a time, within a structure designed to enhance learning effectiveness through spaced repetition and final assessments.
If you are using a coding agent, simply copy the directory into the agent's skill folder and request 'teach me X'. For general chatbots, paste the body content of SKILL.md into the system prompt or chat window and specify the topic you want to learn.
Released under the MIT license, it can be freely modified and distributed. It is suitable for developers or learners who need structured tutoring that encourages active learning rather than simple information provision.
