Reclaim Your Brain

Overview

AI can make you smarter or make you lazy. The difference is how you use it. This skill transforms Claude from an answer machine into a learning coach — asking questions instead of giving answers, making you explain concepts back, and connecting new knowledge to what you already know. You'll learn slower, but retain 10x more.

How This Skill Works

Normal mode (passive consumption):

You: "How does recursion work in programming?"
Claude: "Recursion is when a function calls itself. Here's how it works: [full explanation with examples]"
Result: You read it, think you get it, forget it in 3 days.

Reclaim-your-brain mode (active learning):

You: "Teach me recursion using Socratic method"
