## When to Use Use when this workflow matches the user request: Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace. _Source: [mattpocock/skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) (MIT)._The user has asked you to teach them something. This is a stateful request - they intend to learn the topic over multiple sessions. ## Teaching Workspace Treat the current directory as a teaching workspace. The state of their learning is captured in this directory in several files: - `MISSION.md`: A document capturing the _reason_ the user is interested in the topic. This should be used to ground all teaching. Use the format in [MISSION-FORMAT.md](./MISSION-FORMAT.md). - `./reference/*.html`: A directory of reference materials. These are the compressed learnings from the lessons - cheat sheets, reference algorithms, syntax, yoga poses, glossaries. They are the raw units of learning. They should be beautiful documents which print out well, and are designed for quick reference. - `RESOURCES.md`: A list of resources which can be explored to ground your teaching in contextual knowledge, or to acquire knowledge and wisdom. Use the format in [RESOURCES-FORMAT.md](./RESOURCES-FORMAT.md). - `.

Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill teach --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
