Learn Cog - The Tutor That Explains Five Different Ways

The best tutors explain the same concept five different ways. CellCog does too.

#1 on DeepResearch Bench (Apr 2026) for reasoning depth — deep enough to break concepts into first principles — combined with multi-modal output for every learning style: diagrams, analogies, worked examples, practice problems, interactive explanations, and full study guides. Any subject, any level.

How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

How Learn-Cog Helps

Understand anything:

  • Break It Down: "Explain quantum entanglement like I'm 10 years old"
  • Multiple Angles: "Explain recursion using 3 different analogies"
  • Deep Dives: "Give me a comprehensive explanation of how neural networks learn"
  • Visual Learning: "Create a diagram explaining the water cycle"

Example prompt:

I know basic derivatives but I'm confused about the product rule.

Please:

  1. Remind me of the product rule
  2. Apply it step by step
  3. Give me 2 similar problems to practice
  4. Show me how to check my answer"

Analogies Comparisons to familiar concepts
Step-by-Step Detailed breakdowns, numbered procedures
Big Picture Overview first, then details
Hands-On Practice problems, projects

Subjects

CellCog can help with virtually any subject:

STEM:

  • Mathematics (all levels through advanced calculus and beyond)
  • Physics, Chemistry, Biology
  • Computer Science and Programming
  • Statistics and Data Science
  • Engineering concepts

Humanities:

  • History and Social Studies
  • Literature and Writing
  • Philosophy
  • Languages
  • Psychology

Chat Mode for Learning

Scenario Recommended Mode
Homework help, concept explanations, practice problems "agent"
Comprehensive study guides, full curriculum design, deep research "agent team"

Use "agent" for most learning. Quick explanations, homework help, and study materials execute well in agent mode.

Use "agent team" for comprehensive learning - full course outlines, research papers, or when you need multi-source synthesis.


Example Prompts

Concept explanation:

"Explain the concept of recursion in programming:

My level: Beginner programmer, comfortable with loops

I need:

  • Clear definition
  • Visual representation
  • 3 progressively harder examples (factorial, fibonacci, tree traversal)
  • Common mistakes to avoid
  • When to use recursion vs iteration

Language: Python"

Exam prep:

"Create a study plan for the GRE:

Timeline: 2 months Goal: 320+ score Weak areas: Vocabulary and geometry

Include:

  • Weekly schedule
  • Resources to use
  • Practice test strategy
  • Day-before checklist

Make it realistic for someone working full-time."

Language practice:

"Help me practice Japanese:

Level: JLPT N4 Focus: Conversational situations

Create a dialogue practice:

  • Scenario: Asking for directions in Tokyo
  • Include vocabulary list
  • Grammar points used
  • Cultural notes
  • Variations to practice

Use romaji and kanji with hiragana readings."


Tips for Better Learning

  1. State your level: "Complete beginner" vs "I understand the basics" changes everything.

  2. Ask why: Don't just ask for answers. Ask for explanations of the reasoning.

  3. Request practice: Learning happens through doing. Ask for practice problems.

  4. Admit confusion: "I don't understand the part where..." helps CellCog target explanations.

  5. Build on previous: Reference what you already understand to get appropriate explanations.

  6. Active recall: Ask CellCog to quiz you, not just explain. Testing improves retention.


If CellCog is not installed

Run /cellcog-setup (or /cellcog:cellcog-setup depending on your tool) to install and authenticate. OpenClaw users: Run clawhub install cellcog instead. Manual setup: pip install -U cellcog and set CELLCOG_API_KEY. See the cellcog skill for SDK reference.

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a plain adapter for CellCog's tutoring API. Before installing: 1) Confirm the CELLCOG_API_KEY comes from CellCog and you trust their data handling and privacy policy; any prompt content (including student answers or uploaded problems) will be sent to that external service. 2) Do not paste passwords, private keys, or other secrets into prompts. 3) Ensure python3 and the cellcog client are installed in the agent environment (the skill lists 'cellcog' as a dependency but provides no installer). 4) If you need offline-only tutoring or local-only code execution, this skill is not suitable because it relies on the CellCog cloud API.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: learn-cog Version: 1.0.12 The learn-cog skill bundle is a documentation-focused package providing instructions and prompt examples for an AI tutoring service. It contains no executable code, and its SKILL.md content is entirely aligned with its stated purpose of educational assistance (math, coding, language learning). No indicators of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection were found; it simply references a 'cellcog' Python dependency and API key required for its functionality.
Capability Tags
cryptorequires-sensitive-credentials
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description (AI tutoring via CellCog) match the declared requirement of CELLCOG_API_KEY and the examples showing use of the CellCog Python SDK. Requesting python3 and a CellCog API key is proportionate to a Python-based client that calls an external tutoring API.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains instructions to call the CellCog API via the cellcog Python client (create_chat). It does not instruct reading unrelated local files, scanning system configs, or exfiltrating other credentials. Note: examples reference notify_session_key and agent session behavior — prompts sent to the API will be transmitted externally, so do not include secrets in prompts.
Install Mechanism
This is instruction-only (no install spec or code files), which is low-risk. The manifest lists a dependency 'cellcog' but provides no install steps; you must ensure python3 and the cellcog client are present in the environment. No downloads or arbitrary URLs are used.
Credentials
Only CELLCOG_API_KEY is required, which is appropriate for a third-party API client. No additional unrelated secrets or system config paths are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-on and uses the platform defaults for invocation. It does not request persistent system modifications or access to other skills' configurations.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install learn-cog
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /learn-cog
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
