Academy Coach — Development skill for Claude Code

Academy Coach — learn Claude Code hands-on and get your setup reviewed

**Academy Coach is a free, open-source Claude Code plugin that teaches you Anthropic products from the official [Claude Academy](https://academy.claude.com) curriculum and reviews how you actually work with Claude Code against Anthropic's best practices.** It adds two skills to Claude Code: `academy-learn`, an interactive tutor that runs Academy lessons inside your real repository, and `academy-review`, a coach that audits your session and setup and tells you what to improve.

**Use Academy Coach when:**

• You are learning Claude Code (or Claude.ai, Cowork, Tag, the Claude API, or MCP) and want lessons with exercises in your own project instead of reading course pages
• You want to know whether your Claude Code setup — CLAUDE.md, plan mode, hooks, permission modes — actually follows Anthropic's best practices
• You are onboarding a team to Claude Code and need a repeatable curriculum plus a workflow review for each developer
• You finished a Claude.ai or Cowork session and want feedback on how you could have worked better

What each skill does

`academy-learn` — an interactive Claude Code tutor

Teaches the Claude Academy curriculum one unit at a time, hands-on:

• Covers all six Academy tracks: Claude Code, Claude.ai, Claude Cowork, Claude Tag (Slack), the Claude API / Platform / MCP, and AI Fluency
• Exercises run in your actual project — learning CLAUDE.md means improving your CLAUDE.md, learning subagents means dispatching one on your code
• Conversational quizzes after each unit, wrong answers explained
• Every unit links the real Academy course it came from
• Progress persists between sessions ("continue my academy lesson" resumes where you left off)
