Somebody here posted about a Socratic method skill for Claude (or whatever your LLM of choice is). I’ve found this to be fantastic. Dropped in a dense PDF about Linear Algebra, Postgres (those are the two I’ve gotten into so far). It’s basically just a skill.md that reads, “Here’s a document, give me an opening statement about the material and ask me a question. As I provide answers, guide me to simpler or more complex areas of the topic. Something something Socratic method.” Works great.

I recently used this to prep for interviews - I got the job :)

Would you care to share them?

Khanmigo specifies the Socratic method as well.

These look like system and agent prompts and agent instructions: "Academic Assistant Pro.md", "Code Tutor" https://github.com/linexjlin/GPTs/blob/main/prompts/

Gemini Notebook does flashcards, study guides: https://edu.google.com/ai-gemini-notebook/

Spaced Repetition flashcards or flashquestions to progress through a game might be good; configure Anki decks to surface cards from when for example the user jumps to crush a bonus block.

Resources for teaching ml and ai?

So I Ctrl-F'd for "Linear algebra" resources in my research log and found:

That's super interesting - will have to take a look into this!
