Five steps from code to finished course. The Learning Skill guides you through the process — you just need to answer.
The Learning Skill is invoked directly in Claude CodeAnthropic's official CLI for AI-assisted software development. Runs in the terminal and has access to your file system.. First, navigate to the project directory you want explained:
The Skill starts and automatically detects the codebase in your current directory. It then asks you a few questions to tailor the course to your needs.
No installation or configuration needed. The Skill is available as a plugin directly in Claude Code once set up.
The Skill asks who the course is for. Click on the audiences you need — multiple selection is possible:
Use the software, know no code
Work with the code, need technical details
Responsible for the project, need strategic view
The more audiences you select, the more HTML files are generated. Each audience gets its own content, language, and depth.
The Learning Skill can work in two modes, depending on how you want to use the courses:
Courses are generated as independent HTML files in a /kurs folder. Perfect for sharing via email or file server. Each file works independently.
Courses are generated to be embedded in existing documentation or wikis. Includes additional metadata and simplified styling.
Recommendation: Start with Standalone. It is the default setting and works best in most cases.
After you have chosen audience and mode, everything runs automatically. The Skill goes through three phases:
Scans all files, detects structure, technologies, dependencies, and patterns.
Creates a teaching plan: which topics, in what order, at what depth level?
Generates the HTML files with content, CSS, JavaScript, navigation, and linking.
Duration depends on project size. A small project (< 50 files) is done in a few minutes. Large projects can take 10-15 minutes.
After completion, you will find the finished HTML files in your project directory. Here is how to use them:
Courses are in the /kurs folder. Start with index_en.html (or index_de.html).
Double-click the HTML file or drag it into your browser. No server needed.
Use the breadcrumb navigation at the top and sibling links at the bottom to switch between pages. Deep-dive links lead to deeper levels.
Send the complete /kurs folder to colleagues. All links work relatively — no setup needed.
