Teach skill

Teach is part of Matt Pocock's engineering skills. Its job is to teach you a new skill or concept inside the workspace, with lessons and a learning record. It runs only when you call it by name; the agent never loads it on its own.

When it runs

Only when you ask for it. The skill turns off automatic loading, so the agent never starts it on its own. This is the description it carries:

Teach the user a new skill or concept, within this workspace.
