# Feynman Learning
A structured workflow for deep learning through teaching.
## Purpose
The Feynman Technique is based on Richard Feynman's insight: if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough.
1. User selects a Concept to learn and triggers Feynman Learning
2. User explains the Concept as if to a 12-year-old
3. Claude reviews for simplicity and accuracy; User iterates
4. Claude adds the refined explanation to a glossary Markdown file
## When to Use
Trigger this skill when the user:
- Says "test me on [concept]" or "Feynman [topic]"
- Says "I learned about [X]" and wants to be tested
- Wants to practice explaining something they've learned
- Asks to add something to their learning glossary
## Workflow
### Step 1: Prompt for Explanation
Ask the user to explain the concept as if teaching a curious 12-year-old. Emphasize: no jargon, use analogies, keep it simple.
### Step 2: Review Response
Evaluate the explanation on two dimensions:
**Simplicity** — Would a 12-year-old actually understand this?
- Flag jargon or unexplained technical terms
- Note missing analogies or examples
- Identify overly complex sentence structures
**Accuracy** — Is it technically correct?
- Identify factual errors or misconceptions
- Note oversimplifications that distort the truth
- Flag missing crucial details
### Step 3: Iterate
If the explanation needs work:
- Provide specific, constructive feedback
- Ask the user to try again
- Repeat until both simplicity an
