Jane Street's AI Skill Is a Strict Socratic Tutor You Can Copy Today
omojumiller · x · 2026-11-11
Jane Street published an AI skill on GitHub — not a trading bot, but a strict Socratic tutor:
- Starts with a diagnostic of what you know, builds a 0-5 skill map
- Asks one question at a time instead of handing you answers
- Brings back old material with spaced review, ends with a final assessment
Usage: copy SKILL.md into your agent's skills folder and say "teach me [anything]"; it also works in a plain chatbot by pasting the SKILL.md. The poster has been using it to study Will Manidis's essay Commanding Heights (on scarce, controllable positions of economic power that capture AI's gains) and calls it excellent.
