course-digest

77 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (GitHub) · coding · 30 stars · scanned at commit 677e798

Online video course (Dometrain, Teachable) extracted lesson by lesson and synthesized into recommendations for the current repository; Pluralsight and Udemy URLs are recognized but have no adapter yet. Use when the user gives a course URL or asks to digest a course, to analyze an already extracted course, or to check or resume a course digest in progress. One public video goes to /knowledge:video-digest.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'course-digest' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'course-digest' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named course-digest already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/knowledge/skills/course-digest' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/knowledge/skills/course-digest' ~/.agents/skills/'course-digest' && 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/'course-digest' ~/.claude/skills/'course-digest' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
