Game Mode Explainers

Four AI skills that explain any concept in the clearest possible way, wrapped in a video-game format. Every explanation covers the core idea, how it works, worked examples, the misconceptions that trip people up, and a systematic sweep of edge cases, then checks your understanding with a short quiz.

Works with Claude (as skills) and with any other chatbot (paste the file as the first message or system prompt).

The skills

Skill	Theme	Edge cases appear as...	Try it
`souls-like-explainer`	Souls-like boss fight	Phase 2 of the boss	`boss: recursion`
`concept-dex`	Pokédex entry	Type matchups	`dex: compound interest`
`concept-crafting`	Minecraft-style crafting	Mobs that spawn at night	`craft: TCP handshake`
`questlog-explainer`	Original RPG, no franchise	A boss gauntlet	`quest: standard deviation`

The engine under every theme

All four share the same explanation method, so the quality is the same whichever theme you pick:

Difficulty select: beginner, standard or expert depth.
One-sentence core idea with no jargon.
Prerequisites, with a crash course if one is missing.
Mechanism step by step, with formulas or code and every symbol defined.
Worked examples with real values and every step shown.
Analogy, plus where the analogy breaks.
Ten edge-case lenses: boundary, zero/empty, extremes, opposite, exceptions, broken assumptions, context switch, scale and time, combination, misuse. Only the ones that matter get shown.
Misconceptions, refuted: the wrong belief, why it's tempting, why it's wrong, and an example that proves it.
Quiz: recall, apply, edge case and transfer questions.
Self-check before sending: accuracy, defined terms, flagged uncertainty.

Every skill also has a plain mode that drops the theme and keeps the structure.

Install

Claude (claude.ai / desktop app): create a skill for each folder and upload its SKILL.md.

Claude Code: copy each folder into ~/.claude/skills/, e.g. ~/.claude/skills/concept-dex/SKILL.md.

Any other chatbot: paste the contents of one SKILL.md as the first message or system prompt, then ask your question.

Examples

phase 2: binary search
dex: options delta | stage 2
battle: TCP vs UDP
craft: neural network backpropagation | hardcore
night: floating-point numbers
quest: supply and demand | novice
I died: I thought correlation means one causes the other
