I sometimes have claude or the coding-agent quiz me, Socratic style.
It persists in asking questions at deeper levels until you arrive at the answer yourself. This forces you to think hard about a problem, and this effort helps with understanding, learning and retention. Of course I made a Socratic-quiz skill for this, to use with any coding agent or similar:

For example I’ve used this to better understand counter-intuitive things about diabetes/insulin, dopamine and motivation, catching up with a codebase, Claude’s implementations, etc (to combat so-called cognitive debt).
Strong LLMs are surprisingly good at this type of quizzing, they display a semblance of “theory of mind”.
