Install & get started

TeachFlow is 32 plain-text instruction files, not an installed program. Here is how to put the six skills in place, confirm they loaded, and prepare your first unit.

Install the six skills

  1. The package is not a program you run: it is 32 plain-text instruction files, and installing means putting six folders where your AI tool looks for skills.
  2. Use whichever AI tool you already have. Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor and Google Gemini CLI are all supported, and one of them is enough — you do not need all four.
  3. You download six zip files, one per skill. Unzip each of them: every zip opens into a single folder named after its skill — lesson-workflow, worksheet-workflow, ppt-workflow, word-workflow, audio-workflow and report-workflow.
  4. Copy those six folders into the location for your tool, keeping each one whole — SKILL.md, its references folder, and the README, licence and security notice that sit beside them.
  5. You can also let your agent do it: point it at the unzipped folder and ask it to install the six skills, and it will place them correctly.
  6. If the six do not show up, fully quit the AI tool and start it again. Claude Code and Codex normally pick up new skills on their own; a restart is the fix when they do not.
  7. On Google Gemini CLI you can run /skills reload instead of restarting.

Where the six folders go

All four paths sit in your home directory, and you only need the one for the tool you use. Cursor also reads .claude/skills, so if you have already put the six folders there you do not need a second copy. Once they are in place you can delete the unzipped folders entirely — installing changes no system settings.

Check that they loaded

Open the skill list in your tool. You should see six entries:

Prepare your first unit

  1. Create a folder for one textbook unit.
  2. Put the pages of the unit in it, plus the teacher’s guide if you have one.
  3. Ask for what you want in plain language. For example: "Prepare a lesson from the attached Unit 5 textbook — 2nd-year middle school, 45-minute periods, split into 3 periods, students at roughly A2."
  4. You do not need to name a skill. lesson-workflow picks the request up on its own and the other five follow it.
