learn-with-coursera is an Agent Skill (a Markdown instruction package) in the coursera/skills repository that guides a learner from intent to a concrete Coursera learning step. According to the repository README, it diagnoses the learner's topic, familiarity, and preferred format through a few quick questions, then routes to a course, hands-on project, short video, or live roleplay, and follows up with a recommended path forward. The skill itself contains no code or MCP server; it depends on a consuming MCP app or agent runtime to supply tools such as AskUserQuestion, search_courses, search_videos, search_hands_on_learning, coursera_roleplay_practice, and get_course_materials. Per the item description, the Coursera connector is required for the catalog tools to work.
Overview
The coursera/skills repository distributes Markdown-based 'Agent Skills' that compatible AI agents (such as Claude) load when a user request matches the skill description. Per the README, the repository is intentionally skills-only and does not include a Claude plugin manifest, Cursor plugin metadata, MCP server manifest, or MCP server code; the MCP app that consumes the repository is responsible for exposing the actual Coursera tools.
What you can do with learn-with-coursera
- Answer a few quick questions about topic, familiarity, and preferred format so the skill can diagnose learning needs (via AskUserQuestion)
- Search Coursera's catalog for courses, short videos, or hands-on projects matching the topic (search_courses, search_videos, search_hands_on_learning)
- Start a live roleplay practice session (coursera_roleplay_practice)
- Retrieve curriculum details for a selected course (get_course_materials)
- Receive a recommended path forward after the diagnosed activity
- Install the skill locally by copying the folder into the agent's skills directory (e.g., ~/.claude/skills/learn-with-coursera)

Original description (English)
Turn any learning intent into a personalized Coursera experience. Asks three quick questions (topic, familiarity, preferred format), searches Coursera's catalog, and delivers the right next step — a course, hands-on project, short video, or live roleplay — then maps a path forward. Requires the Coursera connector for catalog tools.
