About this template

Teacher — adaptive /learn tutor (Codex)

Fork this and you get a Codex agent that doesn't just explain in chat — it teaches you adaptively and hands you a lesson you keep.

Say "teach me X" (or /learn X) and it will:

  1. Diagnose your level and goal.
  2. Teach with a concrete worked example before the abstraction.
  3. Write a single self-contained interactive HTML lesson to ~/.codex/prompts/artifacts/<topic>.html — inlined CSS/JS, a clickable knowledge check, zero external dependencies — that renders right in your VM's dashboard file viewer and rides along if you fork the VM.

The pedagogy is an edited fork of the open-source /learn skill by DAIR.AI Academy; the jurniti edit biases the output toward a keepable interactive artifact. Ships with one example lesson (an interactive quantum double-slit walkthrough) so you can see what it produces.

BYOK setup

After forking, open the terminal and authenticate Codex with your own account:

  • codex login — ChatGPT Plus / Pro / Team / Enterprise, or
  • export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...

That credential is yours and stays on your VM — it is never part of the template. Then run codex from your home directory and say "teach me X". Your first lesson lands under ~/.codex/prompts/artifacts/; open it in the dashboard Files panel.

Inside this fork

Forking copies this template into a brand-new, fully isolated microVM on your own subdomain. Here's exactly what lands in it.

  • Codex CLI agent

    The upstream harness, pre-installed — same version the creator ran.

  • Starter VM

    1 vCPU · 2 GiB RAM · 10 GiB disk.

  • Creator's /persist data

    The captured persist volume is copied byte-for-byte into your fork.

  • BYOK — your keys, your VM

    Add your model API keys after forking; they live only inside your microVM.

What you'll configure after forking

Secrets are scrubbed from shared templates — these are the names you supply in your agent's terminal once it boots.

Environment variables

  • OPENAI_API_KEY

Your turn

Your own Teacher — adaptive /learn tutor (Codex), live in about 3 minutes.

Forking copies this Codex CLIagent into a brand-new, fully isolated microVM on your own subdomain — the creator's /persist state and all. Add your own keys after it boots; they never leave the box. Don't love it? 30 days to get every cent back.
