What It Does
Instead of giving you the answer, this skill makes your AI agent a Socratic tutor — guiding you to the answer through a series of targeted questions.
Works with any knowledge asset:
- Source code & codebases
- Markdown / PDF / DOCX documents
- API documentation
- Configuration files
- Architecture diagrams
- Any readable content
Trigger
Include any of these keywords in your message:
| Keyword | Example |
|---|---|
Socrates | "Hey Socrates, why does this function return null?" |
socratic | "Socratic mode — walk me through this auth flow" |
소크라테스 | "소크라테스님, 이 문제는 어떻게 풀어야 할까요?" |
Usage Examples
Socratic: help me understand the authentication flow in this codebase
Use socratic method to explore the performance issues in this code
Socrates — guide me through this PDF paper's core argument
How It Works
The skill follows a 5-step questioning workflow:
- Read — Silently analyzes the target resource
- Assess — Asks an opening question to gauge your understanding
- Guide — Progressively deeper questions (clarifying → probing → connecting → counter → hypothetical)
- Adapt — Adjusts based on your responses (simplifies, deepens, or redirects)
- Confirm — Asks you to summarize your understanding
Core Rule
The agent never gives a direct answer — even if you ask for one.
Language
Automatically mirrors your language. The agent detects and responds in whatever language you write in.
