English Retell Coach — Development skill for Claude Code

English Retell Coach

An open-source Codex/agent skill for turning English listen-read-retell practice into an evidence-based learning loop.

The skill is designed for parent-teacher-AI collaboration:

• A human teacher or parent sets the learning task and final judgment.
• AI parses the task, creates a learner-facing retell scaffold, analyzes the retell output, and prepares feedback.
• The learner uses the feedback for a second retell.
• A teacher reviews patterns over time.

What This Skill Does

• Reads an English task, PDF summary, article excerpt, or teacher instruction.
• Aligns the task with a learner profile such as GE and ZPD.
• Produces content goals, target vocabulary, target chunks, and retell structure.
• Generates a learner-facing retell mind map prompt for image generation.
• Analyzes a learner's retell transcript without reducing it to grammar correction.
• Finds expression gaps: places where the learner understands the idea but lacks the English chunk or sentence pattern.
• Selects 1-3 high-value targets for a second retell.
• Produces short learner feedback, a parent summary, and a teacher review pack.
• Suggests optional record fields for Feishu/Lark Base, Airtable, Notion, Sheets, or other databases.

What Was Removed From The Private Version

This open-source package intentionally removes:

• Real child names, nicknames, assessment dates, and personal learning records.
• Real retell transcripts, audio/video files, and analysis reports.
• Local filesystem paths.
• Feishu/Lark Base tokens, table IDs, record IDs, file links, or workspace URLs.
• Generated images from real learner materials.
• Examples copied from proprietary reader PDFs.
