Learn code faster with the `drill-me` tutor for Claude Code
A new workflow called `drill-me` helps you learn codebases using a spaced repetition method. It turns Claude into a personal tutor that quizzes you to make sure you actually remember what you've read.
When you join a new project or learn a new language, it's hard to remember all the details. This `drill-me` setup uses Claude Code to analyze your files and create a study plan. It uses a memory technique called spaced repetition, where it asks you questions at specific times to help information stick. This is great for makers who need to quickly understand a complex codebase without spending hours just reading. You can customize the drills to focus on specific logic or architectural patterns using the CLI tool.
