Tools

Turns the current folder into a teaching workspace you can resume across conversations: asks your learning goal, gathers reliable sources, builds short HTML lessons and cheat sheets, and tracks progress. Good for self-study and lesson prep; invoke manually (/teach), no API key.

When answering questions about using Claude and its products, attaches a matching course, tutorial or case study from the Claude Academy catalog. Recommends only strong matches and never invents courses. Official Anthropic skill.

Recreates the deprecated Explanatory output style with a SessionStart hook: adds Insight notes before and after code that explain implementation trade-offs and codebase conventions. Official Anthropic plugin; uses extra tokens.

Learning mode: at key decision points such as business logic or error handling, asks you to write 5-10 lines of code yourself while explaining the trade-offs. Official Anthropic plugin built on a SessionStart hook; uses extra tokens.

Multi-agent simulated hedge fund: agents modeled on investors like Buffett and Munger work with quant and risk modules to analyze stocks, with backtesting. Good for teaching investment frameworks. Needs Financial Datasets and model API keys; no real trading, not investment advice.

Personalized tutoring system from HKU's HKUDS: build a knowledge base from textbooks for Q&A, step-by-step solutions and quizzes, for teachers and self-learners. The deeptutor command outputs JSON for agents like Claude Code. Needs Python 3.11+, Node.js 20+ and an LLM API key.

Official Anthropic plugin that solves competition math such as IMO and Putnam problems, with adversarial checks by an independent verifier that only sees the clean proof. Gives up explicitly rather than bluffing when unsure, and outputs LaTeX/PDF once verified.

Engine for math and explainer animations in Python (Community Edition, ManimCE): write scenes and render them to video with the manim command, letting agents create teaching and science animations. On macOS install cairo and pkg-config first; formulas need LaTeX.

Google Classroom skill for the gws CLI: lets agents create and manage courses, maintain rosters and send invites, and post assignments, materials and announcements, so teachers can set up classes in bulk. Needs gws with OAuth via a Google Cloud project; not officially supported by Google.

Built-in gws CLI skill: lets agents create Google Forms, add or edit questions in bulk, publish and read responses, handy for sign-ups, surveys and class feedback. Needs gws with a Google account authorized via your own Google Cloud project; not an officially supported Google product.

Compiles Markdown chapters into an online book with a table of contents, full-text search and themes, good for manuals, lecture notes and course material; agents can edit chapter files and rebuild to preview. Maintained by the Rust team; install a prebuilt binary or via cargo.

Unofficial Python library and CLI for driving Google NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask cited questions, and generate and download podcasts, videos, slides, quizzes and flashcards. Ships an agent skill. Relies on undocumented APIs and needs a Google sign-in.

Open-source zero-shot TTS via f5-tts_infer-cli: from a few seconds of reference audio it reads Chinese or English text in the same voice, handy for lessons and videos. Needs Python, PyTorch and FFmpeg, ideally a GPU. Pretrained models are non-commercial; get consent before cloning a voice.

Twelve research skills from Prof. Yuyu Luo's team at HKUST (Guangzhou), built on a decade of top-venue publishing and reviewing: idea evaluation, intro and body writing, polishing, surveys, pre-submission review, figures, Draw.io rebuilds and rebuttals. Non-commercial license.

Open-source AI presentation generator that builds slides from a topic or uploaded documents and exports PPTX or PDF, with a built-in MCP endpoint for agents. Good for lesson decks and reports. Self-host with Docker and configure an LLM API key, then have an admin create an MCP key.

Turns outlines or scripts into web slides that present in the browser (not .pptx files), with 36 themes and 15 full deck templates; press S for presenter mode with script and timer. Good for lessons, training and reports. Plain local files; no account or API key needed.

Turns articles, reports, papers or notes into a .pptx of full-slide images with speaker notes, in 12 styles such as lectures and thesis defenses; slide text is not editable. Needs Python 3; uses Codex's built-in image generation, or an OpenAI-compatible image API key in Claude Code.

Open-source alternative to NotebookLM's podcast feature: turns web pages, PDFs, images, YouTube videos or text into two-host conversational audio, useful for lecture notes or articles. Uses Gemini and OpenAI API keys by default, or local models plus free Edge TTS.

Unofficial CLI and MCP that let agents work with NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-import sources, ask questions with citations, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides. Uses undocumented APIs and may break; needs a Google sign-in and uv.

Unofficial nlm CLI and MCP server for NotebookLM (now Gemini Notebook): bulk-create notebooks, import web pages and docs, and generate audio overviews, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps and slides for teaching and study. Relies on undocumented APIs and a Google sign-in, so it may break.

From ISCAS's Chinese Information Processing Lab: Claude Code or Codex write slides from your brief, render each page to check layout, and export an editable PPTX, for lectures and academic talks. Needs macOS, Linux or WSL with Python (uv), npm and LibreOffice; install per the README.

Builds Markdown and Jupyter notebooks into online textbook sites with a TOC, math, citations and cross-references, plus publication-quality PDF export; popular for course notes. A Jupyter subproject installed via pipx or npm; PDF export needs Typst or LaTeX.

Recognizes images or whole PDFs (including scans) with math formulas and tables into Markdown and LaTeX, strong on English and Chinese and supporting 80+ languages, handy for digitizing exams, lecture notes and study notes. An open-source Mathpix alternative that runs locally with Python.

Explains a codebase, feature, command or pull request to someone new to it as a PR Lens canvas: one plain sentence first, then a walkthrough that grows the diagram from two boxes to the whole picture, delivered as a shareable link. Requires the PR Lens skill and its npx CLI.
