Session Skill for Claude
> Run a focused N-question study session on a subject — MBE, essay, or flashcards. Tracks performance and updates the study plan. Use when the user says "run me 10 questions on [subject]", "do a session on [subject]", "let's do 5 cards on [subject]", or wants to drill a fixed number of questions and have the plan adapt.

Helps users discover and install agent skills when they ask questions like "how do I do X", "find a skill for X", "is there a skill that can...", or express interest in extending capabilities.

How to use it
Take anthropics/session from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
