@createsomething/learn

MCP server for learning the CREATE SOMETHING methodology through Claude Code.

The Subtractive Triad

Every creation exists simultaneously at three levels:

| Level | Discipline | Question | |-------|------------|----------| | Implementation | DRY | "Have I built this before?" | | Artifact | Rams | "Does this earn its existence?" | | System | Heidegger | "Does this serve the whole?" |

Installation

npx @createsomething/learn init

Or add to your Claude Code settings manually:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "learn": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@createsomething/learn"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Once configured, open Claude Code and say:

"Help me learn the CREATE SOMETHING methodology"

Claude will guide you through:

1. Authentication (magic link to your email)
2. The Foundations path
3. Praxis exercises with automated code audits
4. Reflection-based completion

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | learn_authenticate | Sign in with magic link | | learn_status | View your progress | | learn_lesson | Fetch lesson content | | learn_complete | Mark lesson complete with reflection | | learn_praxis | Execute praxis exercises |

Philosophy

The tool recedes; learning emerges through use.

This MCP server embodies Heidegger's distinction between Zuhandenheit (ready-to-hand) and Vorhandenheit (present-at-hand). When working well, you don't notice the infrastructure—you simply learn through conversation with Claude.

The hermeneutic circle: practice → reflection → understanding → practice.
