## What it does

This skill converts official Claude documentation into a standalone single-page HTML course. Each generated file contains 4 to 7 study modules, protocol animations, quizzes, and code translations. The resulting page has no external dependencies beyond Google Fonts. It opens directly in any web browser. That makes sharing the course with coworkers straightforward.

The skill organizes the learning workflow in distinct phases. First, it searches local documentation using `content-search.sh` or `fuzzy-search.sh`, inspecting `paths_manifest.json`. When pages are missing from `~/.claude-code-docs/cache/`, the tool invokes `fetch-docs.sh` to download them. It limits research to 10 articles to avoid filling model context. Then it designs the curriculum and writes the standalone HTML.

Generating courses requires the repository bash scripts and `jq` inside `~/.claude-code-docs/`. Without these local tools, the assistant cannot parse cached files or query documentation categories.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add costiash/claude-code-docs --skill claude-docs-course -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/claude-docs-course/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/claude-docs-course/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add costiash/claude-code-docs --skill claude-docs-course -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/claude-docs-course/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add costiash/claude-code-docs --skill claude-docs-course -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/claude-docs-course/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install costiash/claude-code-docs claude-docs-course
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/claude-docs-course/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add costiash/claude-code-docs --skill claude-docs-course -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/costiash/claude-code-docs --path plugin/skills/claude-docs-course
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/claude-docs-course/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add costiash/claude-code-docs --skill claude-docs-course -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/costiash/claude-code-docs/tree/HEAD/plugin/skills/claude-docs-course/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- generate interactive HTML tutorials from Claude documentation
- study Claude Code hooks and tool use with animated diagrams
- build self-check quizzes for Claude SDK concepts
- explain complex API parameters with side-by-side code examples

## Example prompts
- create a course about hooks in Claude Code
- /docs --course tool use
- teach me about extended thinking interactively

  Generate an interactive, self-contained HTML course on any Claude documentation
  topic. Use this skill when the user wants to create an interactive course,
  tutorial, or deep-dive walkthrough about a Claude feature, API concept, SDK
  pattern, or prompt engineering technique. Triggers on: "create a course about",
  "interactive tutorial for", "teach me about X interactively", "make a course on",
  "I'd like a course", "/docs --course", "/docs course", or when the user accepts
  the post-docs course prompt. Produces a stunning single-page HTML file with
  scroll-based navigation, animated visualizations, quizzes, and code translations
  drawn from official Claude documentation.

# Docs-to-Course

Transform any Claude documentation topic into a stunning, interactive single-page HTML course. The output is a single self-contained HTML file (no dependencies except Google Fonts) that teaches the topic through scroll-based modules, animated visualizations, embedded quizzes, and plain-English translations of real API examples and configuration snippets from the official docs.

## First-Run Welcome

When the skill is first triggered and the user hasn't specified a topic yet, introduce yourself:

> **I can turn any Claude topic into an interactive course — visual explanations, animated diagrams, and hands-on quizzes, all in a single HTML file.**
>
> Tell me a topic:
> - **A Claude Code feature** — e.g., "create a course on hooks"
> - **An API concept** — e.g., "make a course about tool use"
> - **An SDK pattern** — e.g., "interactive tutorial for Agent SDK sessions"
> - **A technique** — e.g., "teach me about extended thinking interactively"
>
> I'll read through the official documentation, design a learning arc, and generate a beautiful single-page HTML course with animated protocol diagrams, code explanations, and interactive quizzes. Opens right in your browser — no setup needed.

If the user just came from a `/docs` response, the topic is already known — skip the welcome and start building.

## Who This Is For

The target learner is a **developer building with Claude** — someone who has general technical literacy but wants to deeply understand a specific Claude feature, API concept, or SDK pattern before using it in their project.

**Assume general technical literacy.** The learner knows what APIs, functions, JSON, and HTTP requests are. They don't need basic programming concepts explained. But they DO need Claude-specific concepts, patterns, and terminology explained thoroughly — tokens, context windows, tool_use blocks, stop sequences, system prompts, streaming events, hook matchers, MCP servers, etc.

**Their goals are practical:**
```
