Quick Start

Install a plugin, tell your AI “I want to learn X”, and your study site is up. Pick your tool below; every command here has actually been run.

Install steps differ per tool, and each tool needs its own copy. The plugin ships the complete app source, so there is nothing to clone.

Claude Code (two steps, run both)

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/jerryjiao/ai-study-kit
/plugin install ai-study-kit@ai-study-kit

zcode — open the plugin marketplace, add the repository https://github.com/jerryjiao/ai-study-kit, then install ai-study-kit.

Codex (two steps, run both)

codex plugin marketplace add jerryjiao/ai-study-kit
codex plugin add ai-study-kit@ai-study-kit

Any other AI CLI that reads a skills directory can use the bundled installer:

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/jerryjiao/ai-study-kit
cd ai-study-kit && pnpm run skill:install # installs to ~/.agents/skills/
# or pick a destination: bash scripts/install-skill.sh --dest ~/.claude/skills

Cursor, Copilot and friends are covered via the Agent Plugins standard manifest; see each tool’s plugin docs for how to install.

Tell your AI “I want to learn X”, or run /ask-coach. The coach first scans your learning state (theme, progress, wrong answers, due flashcards, AI config), recommends the one thing most worth doing now, then executes it with you. Thirteen flows covered end to end — bootstrap, new themes, question and course generation, wrong-question deep-dives, deployment.

Your study project (app copy + your theme packs) lives entirely in your own directory and survives plugin upgrades; after an update, older projects get a version notice, and upgrading is one short data-safe pass.

The project ships with no ready-made question bank. Questions can be past papers you collect, or a full set generated by an AI agent — install /ask-coach and just ask; the flow is described in Make It Yours under “Let an AI agent write the questions for you”.

Developers: run the demo locally (clone route)

Section titled “Developers: run the demo locally (clone route)”

To poke at the code or run the demo locally:

Terminal window
git clone https://github.com/jerryjiao/ai-study-kit
cd ai-study-kit
pnpm install
pnpm dev
# Open http://localhost:5173

What you’ll see (the dev-intro example theme: git + Linux basics):

Tab What it shows
Quiz 10 git/Linux questions (single/multi/true-false), graded on submit, multi must be all-correct; wrong answers go to the wrong-question book
Flashcards 4 SM-2 spaced-repetition cards, rated again / hard / good / easy, Anki-compatible
Courses 2 self-contained HTML lessons (git’s three areas, Linux dirs & permissions) with ASCII diagrams and callouts

It’s just a demo. You won’t use any of the dev-intro content — you’ll swap in the topic you’re actually learning. See Make It Yours.

The three AI CLIs are incremental capabilities. If you just want the quiz app + flashcards, skip the LLM setup entirely — pnpm dev is enough.
