Claude skills for STEM undergraduates — get higher grades with Claude
SaferSkills independently audited stem-learning-toolkit (Agent Skill) and scored it 96/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

A collection of Claude skills and guides for STEM undergraduates. Upload your lecture slides. Get structured, exam-ready notes.
STEM Learning Toolkit is an open-source collection of Claude Skills designed for undergraduate students in science, engineering, math, and computer science.
Each skill is a plug-in for Claude that teaches it how to think about your study materials — not just summarize them, but organize them the way your brain actually needs: theorems separated from derivations, example problems with annotated reasoning, key formulas highlighted, and exam cues flagged.
| Skill | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
stem-note | Upload a lecture PDF/PPT → get structured study notes | ✅ v1.0 |
stem-homework | Practice Helper → Higher-Quality Exams/Assignments | ✅ v1.0 |
More coming — see Roadmap.
Download the .skill file from the skills/ folder, then install it in Claude:
.skill filestem-noteOnce installed, just upload your lecture file and ask:
Here's my lecture on Fourier Transforms. Can you make study notes?Claude will automatically apply the stem-note skill and return structured notes with:
PDF, PPTX, DOCX, plain text. Images (scanned slides) work too, though text-based files give better results.
stem-note — Lecture Note OrganizerBest for: Any STEM lecture with theory, proofs, and worked examples
