Claudemy, a Claude Code skill, builds short audio courses on any topic
Assaf Kipnis published Claudemy on 14 October, a MIT-licensed Claude Code skill that turns a topic into about twelve two-minute audio lessons with cited sources, running inside Claude Code with a web search and either ElevenLabs or macOS voices. The repository was at 135 stars and 18 forks on 15 October.
Why it mattersA reader who already pays for Claude Code can now ask it for a short course on something they want to learn in their own working session, with the citations and the audio files kept locally, rather than searching a catalogue of pre-recorded videos.
Picking a course to learn negotiation or SQL usually means scrolling a catalogue of 40-hour videos that someone else decided to record. Assaf Kipnis published Claudemy on 14 October, a MIT-licensed Claude Code skill that turns a topic into a short audio course built from current web sources. The command "teach me negotiation" starts a Claude Code session that researches the topic, writes the lessons and records them.
What the skill produces
A course is about twelve two-minute audio lessons, delivered as MP3 files. Each lesson has two voices talking rather than a single lecturer, a one-screen card with the idea in three lines, a count of how many sources agree and who disagrees, one small practice step and links back to the pages the lesson was built from. The skill also writes a playbook with one rule per lesson and a lesson plan that shows where the sources split.
Claudemy maps a topic into sub-topics, reads 20 to 40 pages from practitioners, official docs, research summaries and dissenting views, and caps itself at three pages from any single site so no one voice dominates. Reader agents pull cited notes from each page, then an agent merges them into themes with agreement counts. It writes one sample lesson and waits for a reaction before writing and recording the rest. The README says a 12-lesson course is a long-running Claude Code session with about 25 minutes of generated audio at the end.
A citation checker refuses any lesson that cites a page the research step did not actually read, which is the project's own guard on invented sources. The command "teach me negotiation from
What it needs and what it costs
Claude Code with web search is required, plus Python 3 with beautifulsoup4 and ffmpeg. Natural two-voice lessons need an ElevenLabs API key in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY; without one, Claudemy falls back to the macOS built-in voices, which the README describes as free and plainer. The cards and the playbook work with no audio at all. Pandoc is optional for a Word copy of the cards.
The project README states that the skill is MIT licensed and that cost comes from the reader's own Claude plan and from ElevenLabs credits when premium voices are used. The license is confirmed as MIT in the GitHub API.
Where the traction sits
The repository was created on 14 October at 01:49 UTC. The GitHub API returned 135 stars, 18 forks and 135 watchers on 15 October at 06:15 UTC. The project README lists the install as /plugin marketplace add assafkip/claudemy and /plugin install claudemy@claudemy, or copying skills/claudemy/ into ~/.claude/skills/.
A reader who already pays for Claude Code can use the same session to produce a listenable course on something they want to learn, with sources and a one-page card they can keep. The guards the author built, the three-pages-per-site cap, the citation checker and the dissent counts, address the common failure modes of a model writing a lesson, so run a sample course before trusting the content.
