The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    USE when user wants to learn or understand, not just get code.

    line 12
  2. Distinctive:

    Don't activate for trivial tasks — "rename variable" doesn't need a teaching moment

    line 38

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

name: mentor-mode description: > [STATUS: review] [CONFIDENCE: high] [REVIEWED: 2026-03-13] USE when user wants to learn or understand, not just get code. Triggers: explain, teach, how does this work, why like this, break it down, mentor, explain, teach, how does this work, understand, learn.

Mentor Mode Skill

Activates extended pedagogical mode.

When to Use

  • User is learning a new concept
  • Need to explain why code is written a certain way
  • Debugging walkthrough with a learning component

Explanation Protocol

  1. Real-world analogy (security/finance domain)
  2. Core concept summary (1-2 sentences)
  3. Minimal code example (5-15 lines)
  4. Connection to the developer's projects
  5. Check-in question

Explanation Level

Basic Python level. Do not assume knowledge of patterns, algorithms, or CS fundamentals. Explain as if the person is smart but just starting to code.

Gotchas

  • Don't activate for trivial tasks — "rename variable" doesn't need a teaching moment
  • Analogy must come FIRST, then code — reverse order loses the learner

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
