teach-me is a learning tool that flips the typical study experience around: instead of answering your questions, it asks you questions. The goal is to help you discover what you don't know you don't know, the gaps in your understanding that you can't find by simply reading or watching tutorials. The tool is built around two commands. The first, called literature-review, builds a structured overview of any topic or question you give it. Rather than just summarizing what is settled, it highlights where experts disagree, the contested points it calls tensions. The second command, teach-me, uses that research to run a Socratic-style session: it probes your understanding by asking questions that specifically target those tensions, forcing you to think through your answers rather than being handed them. As you respond, the tool tracks your level and keeps a diary so you can pick up where you left off. Progress is measured not by whether you can recall facts, but by whether you can sit with uncertainty, notice when you are unsure, and catch your own assumptions before they lead you astray. The tool installs as a skill package, you add it by running a single command in a terminal and then call the two commands from within that environment. It uses a language model to conduct the research and questioning, and the topics tag it as relying on LLM-based skills. This suits someone preparing for an exam, trying to understand a research paper, or wanting to know where the genuine debates are in a field before forming an opinion. The approach was inspired by similar grilling-style exercises from another developer in the same skills ecosystem.
