What people say
“I’ve used the following teach skill by mattpocock to learn Java concurrency concepts in 20 bite-sized hands-on lessons starting from creating a new thread to building a Thread-safe Connection pool.”
“Also worth mentioning that Matt Pocock has a /teach skill that creates interactive, learning sites for learning a new skill.”
“To each his own, but it seems like all this could be one moderately-sized AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md, and much of it doesn’t need to be detailed at all.”
