Feynman Skill — Development skill for Claude Code

Feynman Skill — Claude Code

A Claude Code skill that teaches concepts using the Feynman Technique.

Two modes:

• Interactive — you explain first, Claude probes your gaps, then delivers a calibrated explanation
• Dashboard — generates structured HTML concept explainers for reports and presentations

Install

Copy the skill into your workspace:

# From your workspace root
mkdir -p .claude/skills/feynman
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LeadGrowGTM/feynman-skill/main/.claude/skills/feynman/SKILL.md \
  -o .claude/skills/feynman/SKILL.md

mkdir -p .claude/skills/feynman/references
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LeadGrowGTM/feynman-skill/main/.claude/skills/feynman/references/concept-guide.md \
  -o .claude/skills/feynman/references/concept-guide.md
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LeadGrowGTM/feynman-skill/main/.claude/skills/feynman/references/html-template.md \
  -o .claude/skills/feynman/references/html-template.md

Or clone and copy manually:

git clone https://github.com/LeadGrowGTM/feynman-skill.git
cp -r feynman-skill/.claude/skills/feynman .claude/skills/

Triggers

feynman [concept]
teach me [concept]
help me understand [concept]
explain [concept] for dashboard/report/presentation
feynman [concept] --html

How It Works

**Interactive mode** (default):

1. Claude asks your familiarity level — heard of it / worked with it / built systems around it
2. You explain the concept in your own words (required — Feynman doesn't work if you skip this)
3. Claude identifies 2–3 gaps and probes one at a time
4. Claude delivers a calibrated explanation: surface → mechanism → implication → analogy

**Dashboard mode** (`--html` flag or "for dashboard/report"):

Claude asks the concept, audience level, and target context, then outputs a styled HTML block with the same four-part structure.
