I realized the other day I've been teaching stuff for 10 years.

I was a voice coach for six years and I've been doing this job, teaching devs, for four years.

And for a while I've been thinking, wouldn't it be great if I could take everything I know about teaching

and put it inside a skill so that anyone could learn anything?

I had a long bus ride to London the other day

and I wrote a teach skill and it turns out that it's pretty good.

It taught me how to solve a Rubik's Cube, which is something I've always wanted to learn how to do, but I never really had the time or inclination to do it.

But with this teach skill, it felt like I had a real teacher who was teaching how I like to be taught

and was totally aligned with my mission.

And I'm going to show you how I did it.

The key concept when we're looking at a teach skill is some skills can be stateful and some skills can be stateless.

If a skill is stateless, it means that it doesn't retain any state from previous runs.

It doesn't have any memory of the things that you've done before.

In other words, a stateless skill doesn't save anything on the file system to help it pick up where it left off later.

Whereas stateful skills do do that.

They save things either to the local file system or they save things to MCP servers.

They keep notes that they later track.

Initially, I was thinking about teach as a kind of stateless skill where you would just say, teach me this thing and then it would just find some good resources for you

and give you like an output that would teach you a lesson about that thing.

But I realized that all the good teaching that I do is stateful, where I teach you, I being the teacher, I remember where you've got to, I know what you've learned,

I know what you can go to next, and I've got a bunch of great resources

that I remember from previous times that I've taught this thing to teach you about it.

So I decided that teach had to be a stateful skill.

As an example, if you've used my skills repo before, you know that grill me is totally stateless.

It just grills you about a topic until you're ready to implement.

but then grill with docs is actually stateful.

In other words, it saves some local ADRs, architectural decision records.

It saves some other stuff, some glossaries to the repo as well.

And so grill with docs is stateful and it gets better over time, whereas grill me is totally stateless.

Now, one of these is not better than the other.

They're just useful in different situations.

And so when you're designing skills, you need to be careful to think about whether they need to be stateless or stateful and teach needed to be stateful.

The way you install this skill is you go to my skills repo, matpokot skills.

You go down to this quick start here and you just run the skills.sh installer and you choose the teach skill.

Once you do that, you go to an empty directory and you run teach inside your coding agent.

So for instance, in this directory, which is my Rubik's Cube directory, I said teach me how to solve a Rubik's Cube.

And you'll notice during my journey how many files it has created here.

But the first one it created was the mission.

I believe that for a teacher to be effective, you need to understand why a student wants to learn the thing.

And so I got this skill to create a mission for you.

Here it says, Matt wants to be able to take a scramble three by three Rubik's cube

and solve it unaided at least once.

The goal is the achievement itself, not speed, not theory.

The next thing it does is it creates a set of resources.

So it goes and searches the web for actual primary source, high trust resources that it's going to use to create the lessons out of.

It does this on the first pass

when you ask it to teach you something and then it will continue to update these as you go.

And then it will create your first lesson for you.

And lessons are stored in the lessons folder and they're numbered like this and they're all individual HTML files.

HTML is just so much richer than Markdown.

It allows it to be so much more expressive, so much more interactive.

And this is really the core of what makes this such a good learning experience.

And here is my first lesson, anatomy notation and the white cross.

And it basically teaches you just what you need to know at that moment.

It gives you diagrams, it gives you very simple explainers, it gives you call outs, and it gives you quizzes too.

One thing I find really important whenever you're teaching anything is to develop a feedback loop.

And quizzes are okay at this.

They're basically good if you can't find any richer feedback loop.

Again, if we zoom down this, we've got notations, we've got traps, we've You've got your first skill here.

And so it's giving me the knowledge that I need, but also encouraging me to develop the skills I need, which is slightly different.

And the skill itself knows that.

Once I completed the lesson and I said, yes, I can make the white cross, then it recommended that or rather recorded that inside a learning record here.

And these learning records are very simple records that the agent creates when I report how I'm doing.

So this allows it to keep track of how I'm doing, just like a real teacher, then tailor the next lesson to what I need.

Here's another explainer from slightly further down this course.

I suppose it's kind of creating a course as we go based on what I need.

So this one here, it was, okay, it started to add like little citations now, again, more quizzes.

I mean, I just find this layout really nice to look at and really useful.

I was sort of working on the skill as I was building this too.

And so I added this little bottom or thing at the bottom.

It says it tries to find communities where you can ask questions here.

Because sure, you can develop knowledge and skills here.

But the only way you're going to develop wisdom about the thing is actually interacting with a community, testing your ideas out in the real world.

It also develops reference material for you too.

This was something I noticed that I needed.

So there's a glossary.

This glossary has the anatomy.

It has the notation here.

It has the solving grip, the daisy sort of anything like weird jargon

that we've learned is going to go into the glossary.

This is really useful, especially if you're learning like a coding language using this.

It also means that future lessons can be more concise

because they're able to reference the term in the glossary and you can look back if you're confused.

It also creates cheat sheets for you.

So this is a solve card here where it's basically just giving me the entire solve.

If I want just a single place to look at how to create or solve a Rubik's Cube, this is the place I can go.

And finally, just to explain this notes.md file, this is where the agent can note down any of my preferences, note down any watchouts, and it's just kind of internal note-taking for the agent itself.

So let's imagine that I sit down to a session

and I basically want to fill in the teacher on what I've been doing since I last had a session.

So I just say teach and I can basically complete the Rubik's Cube now except except for the corner cycle, which I've still not quite got into memory.

Let's go ahead and see what it says.

It starts, of course, because this is an empty context by checking the state of my teaching workspace.

It's checking all of the solve cards, seeing how far I've got to.

It's now given me a decent diagnosis for what I'm feeling.

It's saying the concept is solid for the corner cycle, which is a particular algorithm, but it's the one that hasn't reached muscle memory.

Let me look at the existing memorization lesson and one earlier lesson to match the house style.

So we've turned the agent basically into a teacher

and you've got to work with it in the same way that you would any one-to-one teacher.

You tell it what problems you're having and it will design lessons to find solutions.

100

The model I'm using here is Opus 4.8 with medium effort, by the way.

101

It's also using a key teaching term here, the zone of proximal development.

102

One algorithm, pure muscle memory work.

103

The zone of proximal development is this key teaching idea which I am obsessed with.

104

And it's the idea that you should always teach someone in the area where they are perfectly challenged but not intimidated.

105

This means that every lesson has to be concise, compact and exactly framed at that zone of proximal development so the student's not bored but also not freaked out.

106

So we can see it's now created this lesson, the corner cycle lesson.

107

And it's created this exact lesson for us.

108

So it's basically just breaking it down, paying more attention to it, giving me new mental models.

109

One four-move phrase played twice.

110

Okay, that is handy.

111

And The idea is I would walk through this lesson.

112

Oh, look at this.

113

Oh my gosh, look at this.

114

So it's actually given me an interactive tap thing I could do.

115

Okay, so it's U R U prime L prime U R prime U prime L.

116

Oh my God, look at this.

117

So it's got guided mode.

118

So I can turn off that.

119

Oh, that's unreasonably cool.

120

You see what being in HTML gives us here, right?

121

We've got the full power of the browser to mess about with here.

122

So you get the idea of what these lessons look like.

123

They are short, they are really focused, and it gives me exactly what to practice now.

124

And this also means because everything has been saved to the file system, I can clear this, and every time I run teach again, it will have all the context it needs to keep me in the zone of proximal development.

125

Let's briefly look at the skill itself here.

126

It's really quite simple, although it is one of the longer skills that I've put together.

127

The user has asked you to teach them something.

128

This is a stateful request.

129

They intend to learn the topic over multiple sessions.

130

It goes into the shape of the teaching workspace, which we've looked at already, and it has a section on philosophy here.

131

So I really define the terms that the AI should think in.

132

It should think in terms of giving them knowledge from high quality, high trust resources, skills, highly relevant interactive lessons and actually developing the skills.

133

And then wisdom that comes from interacting from other learners and practitioners.

134

We go further down here and we touch on the shape of the lessons themselves.

135

We've talked about the mission as well, mission.md, the zone of proximal development, acquiring knowledge and skills, how to do that,

136

acquiring wisdom, which basically when the learner is ready to go out into the world, once they've got the knowledge and skills, how do you delegate them to the community?

137

When the user asks a question that appears to require wisdom, your default posture should be to attempt to answer, but to ultimately delegate to a community.

138

My idea with this teach skill is not to have you hooked onto the agent for learning everything.

139

It's to actually give you the skills you need to feel confident to go out

140

and work with a community and send you out into the world.

141

That's the dream of this stuff.

142

We've also got more material here on reference documents, then finally on notes.md.

143

But that really is the skill.

144

There's a few little bits of supporting documents for like learning record format, the mission format, the resources format, etc. In terms of engineering,

145

I can imagine this skill being really useful in onboarding people to a code base.

146

Creating documentation is a real pain in the arse because not only do you need to keep it up to date, but that documentation is probably outside the person's zone of proximal development.

147

They might have worked with your stack before.

148

They might just need to know the specific problem domain or they might have worked with the problem domain before, but they have no idea what TypeScript is or things like that.

149

So you can think of teach here as, you know, you start them off in their own workspace.

150

You point them at the code base.

151

You teach them how to, you know, they learn independently how to work with the code.

152

what the concepts are, and guess what?

153

You've got a productive employee in record time.

154

For me, I'm excited to use this just on my side projects, on having fun, on just learning stuff that I wouldn't have learned how to do before, you know, solving this freaking Rubik's Cube.

155

I might even dig out a bit of old chess material and see if it can teach me some openings.

156

And I wanted to end here by talking about an idea

157

that I've had for a while that I think this teach skill really proves or rather makes very plain to me, which is that we, the developer community,

158

engineers out there, are the first people to really experience what AI can do on something that it's really good at.

159

AI is currently better at writing code than it is at almost anything else.

160

There are a few exceptions, but really AI is very good at writing code

161

and developers have an advantage

162

that we're the first people to really get to test AI out on a problem where it's very good at it.

163

This means that we are the first people really in the world, with a couple of exceptions, that get to know AI, that get to build these cool things.

164

And it means that we're the first movers in this new space.

165

We can take the ideas that we develop here, turn them into skills and start bringing them out to the world.

166

I think that's incredibly exciting.

167

And it's something that I'm going to be exploring more.

168

And this teach skill is kind of the first phase of that.

169

So when you're working with Claw Code or Codex and you're struggling with it and you're losing motivation, you think, God, this sucks.

170

Just think that you'll be able to take the skills that you are learning now, the instincts that you're building, working with AI and take them outside of coding domains.

171

That, I think, is going to be an incredibly valuable skill, no matter what the future of work looks like.

172

We're all going to be working with AI and we are the first people to really get to do it.

173

Now, if you're digging my skills, then you should go to AI hero forward slash skills

174

and sign up for my newsletter that lets you know whenever I release a new skill, whenever I have any changes, because I do change the skills all the time.

175

If you want up to date information on how to use my skills for engineering and for other stuff, too, then check it out.

176

But overall, thanks for watching.

177

I can't wait to see the languages that you're learning, coding languages or human languages, the new skills that you're developing.

178

I'm going to get this thing to teach me vocal harmonies as well.

179

It's always a skill that I've wanted to know but never been very good at.

180

And I just can't wait to get using this thing myself and seeing how you're using it too.

181

But overall, thanks so much for watching and I will see you very soon.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
