In plain English

This is a Claude Code Skill that acts as a Texas Hold'em poker coach for reviewing hands after the fact. It speaks in the voice of a professional player coach, walking through a hand, profiling how an opponent plays, and giving advice aimed at exploiting that specific opponent rather than following one fixed strategy. The README is explicit that GTO, the mathematically balanced style many players study, is treated here as one tool among several rather than a rule to always follow. The coaching approach is distilled from public teaching material, tournament footage, and cash game sessions from professional players, with details anonymized so it does not represent any one real person's opinions. Once installed into Claude Code, a user can simply say something like "I'm new, walk me through it" for a first session, or describe a hand directly, such as what position they were in, what cards they held, and how the betting went. The skill can also read a folder of hand history text files exported from the CoinPoker platform and produce a batch review with ratings across many hands at once. The skill explicitly does not try to teach basic poker rules from scratch or run exact GTO solver calculations. It assumes the reader already understands ideas like three betting, expected value, and table position, and it adds short notes the first time it uses a more specialized term. Internally, the project is organized as a main entry file plus a folder of reference documents covering mental models, decision heuristics, tournament and cash game playbooks, opponent profiling, range reading, and the coach's own honest limits about what it cannot answer well. These references are loaded only when needed rather than all at once. There is no formal license, the author asks that attribution be kept if the material is redistributed, and states the content is for learning only, not a promise of poker profit.
