How to Set Up and Use Human Skill Tree
Human Skill Tree is an AI-powered skill development framework that provides 30+ structured skill modules spanning K-12 academics, career development, and social intelligence, all grounded in cognitive science principles. It works as a collection of skill definition files installed into your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, etc.) to give the AI persistent, structured guidance on how to teach and assess each skill. An optional Next.js web app provides a visual skill tree with interactive learning sessions backed by OpenRouter and Supabase.
Prerequisites
- Git installed to clone the repository
- A supported AI coding assistant: Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI
- Node.js 18+ if you want to run the optional web app
- OpenRouter API key and Supabase project credentials if using the web app
Clone the repository
Clone the human-skill-tree repository to your local machine so you can copy skill files into your AI tool's configuration directory.
git clone https://github.com/24kchengYe/human-skill-tree.git
cd human-skill-treeInstall skill files into your AI assistant
Copy the skill definition files from the skills/ directory into your AI tool's skills folder. Use the Claude Code path shown below, or substitute the path for your tool (Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/, Gemini CLI: ~/.gemini/skills/).
# All skills at once
cp -r skills/* ~/.claude/skills/
# Or install individual skill modules
cp -r skills/00-learning-how-to-learn ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r skills/01-k12-mathematics ~/.claude/skills/
cp -r skills/05-social-intelligence ~/.claude/skills/Verify skills are loaded
Open Claude Code and run /skills to confirm the installed skill modules appear in the list. Each module should show as an available skill the AI can invoke.
(Optional) Set up the web app
If you want the visual skill tree interface, navigate to the app directory, copy the environment template, fill in your OpenRouter and Supabase credentials, and start the development server.
cd app
npm install
cp .env.example .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your credentials
npm run devStart a learning session
In your AI assistant, invoke a skill by name to start a guided learning session. The skill file provides the AI with structured content, assessment criteria, and cognitive science-based pacing.
Human Skill Tree Examples
Client configuration
Human Skill Tree does not use a traditional MCP server config block. Skills are installed as files in your AI tool's skills directory. This is the directory structure after installation for Claude Code.
{
"note": "Human Skill Tree installs as skill files, not a network server.",
"installation": {
"claudeCode": "~/.claude/skills/",
"cursor": "~/.cursor/skills/",
"geminiCLI": "~/.gemini/skills/"
},
"command": "cp -r human-skill-tree/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/"
}Prompts to try
After installing the skill files, use these prompts to start AI-guided learning sessions.
- "Start a learning session for the 'learning how to learn' skill module."
- "Quiz me on K-12 mathematics concepts from the skill tree."
- "Help me practice social intelligence skills using the structured framework."
- "What skills are available in the human skill tree?"
- "Create a personalized learning plan based on the cognitive science skill modules."Troubleshooting Human Skill Tree
Skills are not recognized after copying files
Verify the files landed in the correct directory for your AI tool. For Claude Code use ~/.claude/skills/. Restart the AI assistant after copying and confirm with /skills to see the list.
Web app fails to start with missing environment variable errors
Copy .env.example to .env.local and fill in all required values: OpenRouter API key, Supabase project URL, Supabase anon key, and any TTS service keys. The app will not start without valid Supabase credentials.
Skill files appear but the AI does not follow the skill structure
Ensure you are using a supported AI tool version. Skills are designed for Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI. Plain chat interfaces without skill directory support will not load the structured modules.
