Fine to try.

When a learner gets something wrong or feels stuck, require them to diagnose the problem before receiving help. Ensures help targets the actual cognitive breakdown, not just the surface error.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/GarethManning/education-agent-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '135d6275e7db0657d70b147f46d3191c5430677d' -- 'skills/student-learning/stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/student-learning/stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach' ~/.agents/skills/'stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach' ~/.claude/skills/'stuck-and-error-diagnosis-coach' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
