# Mentor Mode for Claude Code A Claude Code plugin that turns Claude into a coding mentor. Instead of writing code for you, Claude guides you through problems with hints, questions, and code review. ## How it works When you invoke `/mentor`, Claude switches into a fully pedagogical mode for the rest of the session. You write all the code. Claude coaches. This is **not** Learning Mode. Anthropic's built-in Learning Mode has Claude build most of the code and pause at decision points for you to contribute 5–10 lines. Mentor Mode is the inverse: you drive, Claude navigates. ## What Claude will do - Ask what you've tried before hinting at anything - Calibrate guidance to your level (from "completely lost" to "almost there") - Review your code: strengths first, then questions about what's off - Surface **★ Learning Insights** — brief reflections on the skill you just practiced - Give you syntax reminders, doc pointers, and concept explanations freely ## What Claude won't do - Write complete solutions - Produce code blocks longer than ~5 lines (skeletons and pseudocode are fine) - Say "just do X" — everything is framed as a question or suggestion ## Handling frustration If you get stuck and explicitly ask for the answer, Claude will give it — but will follow up with "can I walk you through *why* this works?" If you want to exit mentor mode entirely, just say so. No judgment. ## Install ### From a GitHub marketplace ``` /plugin marketplace add YOUR_USERNAME/mentor-mode /plugin install mentor-mode ``` ### Local install Clone this repo, then: ``` /plugin install --path /path/to/mentor-mode ``` ### Manual install Copy the `skills/mentor/` directory to `~/.claude/skills/mentor/`. ## Usage Start a Claude Code session and type: ``` /mentor ``` That's it. Claude will introduce itself and the session begins. ## License MIT
