- is the wrong call (like after a non-idempotent request that already went

75

82
+ ## Why it exists
76
83
 
77
- ## Requirements
84
+ It is easy to accept code from an AI assistant without fully understanding it.
85
+ Reading the diff back is not the same as being asked about it. codecall asks,
86
+ right after the change lands, while the reasons are still fresh, and leaves a
87
+ receipt you can return to.
78
88
 
79
- - Codex or Claude Code, already installed.
80
- - No account, no signup, no API key, no internet access needed.
89
+ ## How the score is measured
81
90
 
82
- ## Install it (pick one)
91
+ Each session covers 2 to 4 ideas. An idea counts as *could explain* when you
92
+ answer both of its checks correctly without a reteach. The score is `N of M`
93
+ ideas, nothing else: no time-on-task, no mastery claim, no guess at what you
94
+ would have known anyway. Earlier receipts in `./codecall/` add a streak line
95
+ (sessions this week, running explain rate) and nothing more.

- something like this:
126
-
127
- ```text
128
- Implementation completed.
129
- Learning opportunity: <a short reason>
130
- Estimated learning time: <a few minutes>
131
-
132
- Start Learning / Skip
133
- ```
134
-
135
- If you see that, it's working. If nothing happens, try restarting Codex or
136
- Claude Code — a session that was already open won't pick up a fresh install.
137
-
138
- ## How to use it
139
-
140
- 1. Finish some work with Codex or Claude Code, like normal.
141
- 2. Type the command for your install (`$codecall` or `/codecall`).
142
- 3. It asks: **Start Learning or Skip?** Nothing happens until you choose.
143
- 4. If you start: it asks how confident you already are, then teaches one idea
144
- at a time — what it is, why the code needed it, and what breaks without
145
- it — followed by a quick question to check your understanding.
146
- 5. At the end, you get a short summary: what you learned, what to remember,
147
- and any gotchas to watch for if you reuse the same pattern in another
148
- project.
149
-
150
- A typical session covers 2–4 ideas and takes just a few minutes.
151
-
152
- ## Want it to offer to teach you automatically?
153
-
154
- If you installed the **Codex or Claude Code plugin**, this mostly just
155
- works already: a small local check runs after each turn and reminds the
156
- agent to consider offering codecall when something meaningful just
157
- happened — it never decides *for* you, it just makes sure the agent
158
- actually checks. (Only the plugin install gets this; `npm install -g`
159
- doesn't, since it isn't a plugin.)
160
-
161
- Either way, for the strongest guarantee — and the only option for the
162
- `npm install -g` path — copy one small file into your project so the agent's
163
- own instructions always include this check:
164
-
165
- - **Codex:** copy [this file](plugins/codecall/skills/codecall/references/AGENTS.codecall.md)
166
- into your project's `AGENTS.md`.
167
- - **Claude Code:** copy [this file](plugins/codecall/skills/codecall/references/CLAUDE.codecall.md)
168
- into your project's `CLAUDE.md`.
169
-
170
- It's selective on purpose — it only offers after real, meaningful changes
171
- (like a new integration, a security-related change, or an architecture
172
- decision), never for typo fixes, formatting, or routine changes. And it
173
- never teaches without you choosing Start Learning first, automatic or not.
174
-
175
- ## Privacy — the short version
176
-
177
- - No API key, no account, no signup.
178
- - Nothing is uploaded anywhere. It uses the same AI tool and conversation you
179
- already have open — there's no separate model call.
180
- - It doesn't remember anything between sessions or projects. It only avoids
181
- repeating the same suggestion twice in one sitting.
182
- - The plugin install's automatic-check script runs entirely on your machine,
183
- makes no network calls, and only ever adds a text reminder — it can't edit
184
- files or run other commands on its own.
185
- - On the Claude Code plugin, some of the read-only "figure out if this is
186
- worth teaching" work runs in an isolated helper (so it doesn't clutter your
187
- main conversation) — it can only read files, never edit them, and it never
188
- talks to you directly or teaches anything itself.
99
+ - No API key, no account, no signup, no network call.
100
+ - It uses the agent and conversation you already have open. There is no
101
+ separate model call.
102
+ - The receipt is the only thing it writes, into `./codecall/` in your
103
+ project. Delete the folder to forget every session.
104
+ - The plugin's automatic-offer script runs entirely on your machine and only
105
+ ever adds a text reminder; it cannot edit files or run commands.
106
+ - On the Claude Code plugin, the read-only planning step runs in an isolated
107
+ helper so it does not fill your main conversation. It can only read files
108
+ and never talks to you.
189

190
110
  ## Troubleshooting
191
111
 
192
- **I can't find it when I search inside Codex or Claude Code's plugin list.**
193
- That's expected for now — install it with the command above instead of
194
- searching for it. Once installed, it works like any other plugin.
195
-
196
- **Which command do I type?** `$codecall` in Codex. In Claude Code: `/codecall:codecall`
197
- if you installed the plugin, or plain `/codecall` if you used `npm install -g codecall`.
112
+ **Nothing happens after installing.** Restart the agent or start a new
113
+ session; an open session does not pick up a fresh install.
198
114
 
199
- **I installed it, but nothing happens.** Restart Codex/Claude Code, or start a
200
- new task — an already-open session won't see a fresh install.
115
+ **Which command?** `/codecall` after `npx skills add` or `npm install -g`;
116
+ `/codecall:codecall` for the Claude Code plugin; `$codecall` in Codex.
201
117
 
202
- **Does it ever send my code anywhere?** No — see Privacy above.
203
-
204
- **Why did installing the plugin ask me to review/trust something?** That's
205
- the one-time review for the small local script that powers the "offer to
206
- teach automatically" feature above. It's normal, runs locally, and you can
207
- still decline it — codecall still works, you'll just need to type the
208
- command yourself instead of being offered it.
209
-
210
- **What's the "helper" mentioned in Privacy — is that someone else reading my
211
- code?** No — it's the same AI tool you're already using, just working in an
212
- isolated scratch space so figuring out what's worth teaching doesn't fill up
213
- your main conversation. You won't see it unless you go looking; it only
214
- hands back a short plan.
118
+ **The plugin asked me to trust something.** That is the one-time review for
119
+ the small local hook behind the automatic offer. Decline it and codecall still
120
+ works; you type the command yourself.

  ## For developers
217
123
 
218
- Want to build, test, or contribute? See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md)
219
- for the full technical design.
220
-
221
124
  ```bash
222
125
  npm install
223
126
  npm run build
224
127
  npm test
225
- ```
226
-
227
- Validate the plugin before releasing:
228
-
229
- ```bash
230
128
  claude plugin validate ./plugins/codecall
231
129
  ```
232
130
 
233
- Want codecall to show up in Codex's or Claude Code's built-in searchable
234
- plugin list (not just install-by-link)? That needs a separate submission to
235
- each company — see
236
- [Getting listed in curated marketplaces](#getting-listed-in-curated-marketplaces).
237
-
238
- ### Getting listed in curated marketplaces
239
-
240
- **Claude Code** — submit via the
241
- [Plugin Directory Submission Form](https://clau.de/plugin-directory-submission).
242
- The plugin `name` becomes permanent once accepted.
243
-
244
- **Codex** — submit through `platform.openai.com/plugins`, which requires a
245
- verified OpenAI Platform identity and at least five positive and three
246
- negative test cases. Review is asynchronous with no fixed timeline.
247
-
248
- ### Advanced: using it as a code library
131
+ The canonical skill lives in `plugins/codecall/skills/codecall/`. The
132
+ TypeScript runtime in `src/` is an offline, deterministic test harness for the
133
+ session state machine, not the product; see [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md).
249
134
 
250
- If you're building your own tool on top of codecall, the core runtime is also
251
- a plain TypeScript library (`import { codecall } from "codecall"`). This is a
252
- deterministic, offline demo/test runtime, not the AI-powered product
253
- experience above. See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for the API.
135
+ Listings: Claude Code's [plugin directory submission form](https://clau.de/plugin-directory-submission);

  Use the active coding agent and its current conversation as the learning
9
- runtime. Do not call an external model, request an API key, or run a separate
10
- learning CLI. In Codex, invoke this skill as `$codecall`. In the Claude Code
11
- marketplace plugin, invoke it as `/codecall:codecall`; the npm standalone
12
- installer keeps `/codecall` available.
13
-
14
- ## Completion handoff
15
-
16
- When an implementation concludes, the project's standing-instruction file is
17
- the reliable trigger for the npm standalone install: `AGENTS.md` in Codex or
18
- `CLAUDE.md` in Claude Code. On the Claude Code and Codex marketplace plugin
19
- installs, a bundled Stop hook also deterministically re-surfaces this check
20
- before the final response, as a backstop to that same prose instruction — the
21
- hook only forces the check to happen; it never makes the recommend/optional/skip
22
- judgment itself, which stays a model decision driven by trigger-policy.md. The
23
- same coding agent evaluates learning value before its normal final response.
24
- This skill owns the session only after the developer chooses Start Learning. Do
25
- not treat skill metadata as a background scheduler.
26
-
27
- ## Automatic recommendation policy
28
-
29
- Before deciding whether to show a post-implementation card, read
30
- [references/trigger-policy.md](references/trigger-policy.md). Apply it only to
31
- completed implementations with inspectable task, conversation, or changed-file
32
- evidence. A manual `$codecall`, `/codecall:codecall`, or standalone `/codecall`
33
- request always starts this skill's normal Start/Skip flow regardless of the
34
- automatic policy.
35
-
36

11

16

17
+ A manual invocation always starts the Start Learning / Skip flow. After an
18
+ implementation completes, the plugin's Stop hook, or the project's `CLAUDE.md`
19
+ or `AGENTS.md` snippet from [references/](references/), makes the agent
20
+ evaluate [references/trigger-policy.md](references/trigger-policy.md); only a
21
+ `recommend` outcome shows the card. Never teach without Start Learning. Skill
22
+ metadata is not a background scheduler.

- 1. Identify the completed implementation from the active conversation and the
43
- coding agent's recent edits. If it is not clear, ask for a short description
44
- before inspecting code.
45
- 2. Gather evidence and judge learning value:
46
- - **Claude Code marketplace plugin:** delegate this step to the
47
- `codecall-planner` subagent via `@codecall:codecall-planner`, passing the
48
- implementation description and known changed files as its task prompt.
49
- Use its returned judgment, reason, minutes estimate, and concept plan for
50
- the rest of this session. This keeps the read-heavy context-gathering work
51
- out of the main conversation's context window.
52
- - **Codex, npm standalone, or whenever that subagent is unavailable:**
53
- perform this in the current conversation instead. Read context
54
- progressively: task/conversation and known edited files first, then
55
- focused excerpts needed to explain a dependency or decision. Use a Git
56
- diff only when it is available and helpful—never require Git changes, a
57
- Git repository, or an uncommitted working tree. Never scan the entire
58
- repository by default. Judge learning value from novelty, architecture
59
- impact, concept density, dependency depth, difficulty, and meaningful
60
- decisions—not LOC or file count.
61
- 3. Present this non-blocking prompt and wait:
26
+ 1. Identify the completed implementation from the conversation, the agent's
27
+ recent edits, or the argument. If it is unclear, ask for one line before
28
+ reading any code.
29
+ 2. Judge learning value and plan 2 to 4 concepts:
30
+ - **Claude Code marketplace plugin:** delegate to `@codecall:codecall-planner`
31
+ with the implementation description and the known changed files. Use its
32
+ judgment, reason, minutes estimate and plan for the rest of the session.
33
+ - **Everywhere else:** do it in this conversation. Read progressively: the
34
+ task and edited files first, then focused excerpts. Use a Git diff only
35
+ when one exists and helps; never require Git, a repository or an
36
+ uncommitted tree; never scan the whole repository. Judge by novelty,
37
+ architecture impact, concept density, dependency depth, difficulty and
38
+ real decisions, not line count.

73
- ## Adaptive session
74
-
75
- 1. Use the plan `codecall-planner` returned, if the Start gate delegated to it.
76
- Otherwise, build a small dependency-aware learning path of 2–4 concepts when
77
- the implementation has enough material. Keep technologies, concepts, patterns,
78
- anti-patterns, architecture decisions, and misconceptions distinct. Do not
79
- reduce a multi-concept implementation to one vocabulary question.
80
- 2. Ask confidence for the first prerequisite-ready concept: Expert, Comfortable,
81
- Heard Of It, or Never Learned. Adapt depth, but do not skip a needed
82
- prerequisite merely because the developer is confident.
83
- 3. Teach exactly one small, implementation-grounded concept. Explain what it
84
- is, why this code needed it, what breaks without it, its surrounding
85
- connection, a misconception, and a concise mental model. Include one
86
- accurate real-world mapping whenever it clarifies the mechanism, explicitly
87
- mapping each part of the analogy back to the code. Never let an analogy
88
- replace the technical explanation.
89
- 4. Ask two distinct implementation-specific checks for each concept, delivered
90
- one at a time: first a real-world-to-technical mapping question, then a
91
- technical application, dependency, tradeoff, or debugging question. Do not
92
- ask generic definitions and never batch questions.
93
- 5. Branch immediately:
94
- - Correct on the first check: ask the second, more technical check for that
95
- same concept.
96
- - Correct and confident on both checks: advance or explore the next design
97
- tradeoff.
98
- - Correct but uncertain: reinforce the mental model briefly, then ask the
99
- remaining check.
100
- - Incorrect: name the specific reasoning gap, teach it using this
101
- implementation, then ask a new isomorphic question.
102
- - Enough evidence for the objective or time limit: finish.
103
- 6. End with concepts learned, remaining weak areas, key takeaways, and
104
- **estimated session mastery**. Then add:
105
- - **Points to remember:** 3–5 durable technical heuristics grounded in the
106
- implementation.
107
- - **Edge cases for other projects:** only the relevant assumptions,
108
- boundaries, or failure modes to check before reusing the pattern.
109
- Tie both sections to the session's concepts and decisions. Never use generic
110
- filler or claim permanent mastery.
49

51
+ ## Session
52
+
53
+ 1. Order the concepts by prerequisite. Keep technologies, patterns,
54
+ anti-patterns, decisions and misconceptions distinct; never collapse a
55
+ multi-concept change into one vocabulary question.
56
+ 2. Ask confidence for the first concept: Expert, Comfortable, Heard of it, or
57
+ Never learned. Adapt depth, but never skip a needed prerequisite because the
58
+ developer sounds confident.
59
+ 3. Teach one concept: what it is, why this code needed it, what breaks without
60
+ it, how it connects to the rest, one misconception, a concise mental model.
61
+ Add one real-world analogy only when it clarifies, mapping each part back
62
+ to the code. The analogy never replaces the technical explanation.
63
+ 4. Ask two checks per concept, one at a time: first an analogy-to-code mapping,
64
+ then an application, dependency, tradeoff or debugging question. Never a
65
+ generic definition, never a batch.
66
+ 5. Branch on the answer. Correct: ask the second, harder check. Correct and
67
+ confident on both: next concept, or a design tradeoff. Correct but unsure:
68
+ reinforce the mental model briefly, then the remaining check. Wrong: name
69
+ the gap, reteach it from this code, ask a new isomorphic question. Enough
70
+ evidence or out of time: finish.
71
+ 6. Write the receipt: one self-contained HTML file at
72
+ `./codecall/NNNN-<slug>.html` from
73
+ [references/receipt-template.html](references/receipt-template.html), where
74
+ `NNNN` is the next number after the files already there. Print the path and
75
+ the score line in chat, and open the file when a CLI can (`open`,
76
+ `xdg-open`, `start`). Nothing is uploaded; deleting `./codecall/` forgets
77
+ every session.
78
+
79
+ ## The receipt
80
+
81
+ One screen, big type, no external assets. It holds:
82
+
83
+ - The implementation in one line, and the date.
84
+ - Each concept marked ✅ could explain or ❌ could not, with one line of why.
85
+ A concept counts as explained when both checks were answered correctly
86
+ without a reteach.
87
+ - The score, `Could explain N of M`, where M is the number of concepts.
88
+ - Three points to remember, grounded in this code.
89
+ - The edge cases to check before reusing the pattern in another project.
90
+ - When earlier receipts exist in `./codecall/`, one streak line read from
91
+ their `codecall-score` and `codecall-date` meta tags: sessions in the last
92
+ seven days and the running explain rate.
93
+
94
+ Short identifiers only; never paste source code or conversation text into it.
