A Claude Code skill · Legal & general pedagogy

teaching-explainer

Generate accessible, evidence-based, lightly-interactive HTML explainers for teaching — built for law school, but for any course.

Every explainer this skill produces is active by construction — organized around how you teach the topic, with hands-on interactions instead of passive text — and grounded in the learning-sciences evidence.

Live example — AI prompting

A full interactive explainer on prompting AI for legal work — the "brilliant but literal new associate" mental model, the five jobs of a prompt, open chatbots vs. grounded legal tools (Westlaw / Lexis / vLex), and why you verify every citation.

Educational exemplar. Platform details and figures were current as of June 2026 — reconfirm before relying on specifics.

Live example — Boolean search

An interactive explainer on Boolean searching for legal research — the "literal-minded clerk" model, a four-move method for building a search, and the common traps (space-means-OR, smart quotes, over-ANDing, AND-vs-proximity). Build and fix real queries as you go.
