Agent Skills from Jane Street

Jane Street released a collection of agent skills, distributed as directories each containing a SKILL.md file with instructions for AI agents and chatbots. The first listed skill, socratic-tutor, turns an LLM into a strict personal tutor that teaches a chosen topic via the Socratic method, using a diagnostic, a skill map with levels 0-5, one question at a time, spaced review, and a final assessment. Users install a skill by copying its directory into a coding agent's skills folder and asking the agent to use it, or by pasting the SKILL.md body into a plain chatbot's prompt.
