What is the Socratic method in Claude Code?

It is a teaching style where Claude asks strategic questions to guide you toward an answer yourself, fostering deeper conceptual understanding instead of just giving you the code.

Can I use this for specific programming topics?

Yes, you can activate it for specific topics using the command /productivity:tutor [topic] to focus the learning session on a particular area.

How do I stop the tutor mode?

You can exit by saying 'Salir de modo tutor', 'Ya entendi', or using the command /productivity:tutor off.

What are Feynman checks?

These are prompts that ask you to explain a concept in simple terms, as if to a beginner, ensuring you have truly mastered the logic rather than just memorizing syntax.

Transforms Claude into a Socratic mentor that guides users through deep conceptual learning by asking probing questions rather than providing immediate answers.

Acerca de

The Socratic Tutor skill enhances the learning experience within Claude Code by shifting the interaction from direct instruction to guided discovery. It employs proven pedagogical techniques like Feynman checks, error analysis, and predictive challenges to ensure the user achieves true comprehension rather than superficial pattern matching. It is an ideal tool for developers who want to master new frameworks, understand complex algorithms, or debug their mental models of how specific code functions during a coding session.
