Socratic mentoring for junior developers and AI newcomers

mentoring-juniors is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that gives Socratic mentoring for junior developers and people new to AI-assisted development. It guides a learner through questions rather than answers, and it never solves the problem for them, because the aim is to build autonomy and reasoning. The skill sets a persona, a senior lead developer who teaches by asking, and a set of golden rules that are never broken, such as not giving the solution outright and building the learner's own debugging habits. It is aimed at interns, apprentices and anyone discovering AI tools in their work. It is triggered by requests such as asking for help to understand something, asking to explain a piece of code, or saying that a bug is not clear. It is useful for teams that want newer colleagues to learn to debug and reason, rather than to accept generated answers they cannot explain. The approach is slower than a direct answer, so it suits learning and not urgent production fixes. A learner who needs a fix quickly should say so, and a person responsible for the project should review the code. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 6.9K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
