安裝

選擇你的客戶端

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socrates-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

開啟 Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config。儲存後重啟應用。

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socrates-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor 使用與 Claude Desktop 相同的 mcpServers 格式。專案級設定優先於全域。

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socrates-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

點擊 Cline 側欄中的 MCP Servers 圖示，然後選 "Edit Configuration"。

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "socrates-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

格式與 Claude Desktop 相同。重啟 Windsurf 生效。

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "socrates-skill",
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill",
        "~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue 使用伺服器物件陣列，而非映射。

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "socrates-skill": {
      "command": {
        "path": "git",
        "args": [
          "clone",
          "https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill",
          "~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

加入 context_servers。Zed 儲存後熱重載。

claude mcp add socrates-skill -- git clone https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill ~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill

一行命令搞定。用 claude mcp list 驗證，claude mcp remove 移除。

使用場景

實戰用法： socrates-skill

Understand an unfamiliar codebase deeply

👤 Engineers onboarding to a new codebase ⏱ ~45 min intermediate

何時使用： You inherited a codebase and want to learn it, not just skim.

前置條件

Skill installed — git clone https://github.com/bevibing/socrates-skill ~/.claude/skills/socrates-skill

步驟

Ask Socratic to guide you through the auth flow

Socratic: help me understand the authentication flow in this repo. Start from the first request.✓ 已複製

→ Claude asks: 'Where does the request first hit your code? Which file?'
Answer iteratively

Answer honestly where you're unsure.✓ 已複製

→ Questions adapt to your depth of understanding
Summarize

At the end, summarize the flow — Claude confirms or corrects via more questions.✓ 已複製

→ You wrote the summary, not Claude

結果： You actually understand the flow, verified by your own summary.

注意事項

Getting frustrated and begging for the answer — That's the point — the skill enforces. Step away and come back if stuck.

搭配使用： filesystem

Work through a research paper with a Socratic guide

👤 Researchers, grad students ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

何時使用： A paper is dense and you want to internalize the argument, not skim.

步驟

Point Claude at the PDF

Socrates — guide me through this paper's core argument. Start with the setup.✓ 已複製

→ Opens with a gauge question
Iterate

Answer and ask for clarification when needed.✓ 已複製

→ Progression from setup -> method -> results -> limits

結果： A clear mental model of the paper that survives your next conversation about it.

搭配使用： arxiv

Debug a tricky performance issue through guided questioning

👤 Engineers who want to reason about a bug, not just take a fix ⏱ ~45 min advanced

何時使用： A non-obvious performance or concurrency bug you want to really understand.

步驟

Describe symptoms

Use socratic method to explore performance issues in this code. Here are the symptoms.✓ 已複製

→ Claude asks what you've measured, not what you suspect
Follow the questioning

Run the measurements Claude suggests; report back.✓ 已複製

→ Funnel narrows to the actual cause

結果： You found the root cause and can explain it.

搭配使用： chrome-devtools

組合

與其他 MCP 搭配，撬動十倍槓桿

socrates-skill + filesystem

Claude reads source files silently before questioning

Socratic: walk me through the billing logic — read src/billing/ first.✓ 已複製

socrates-skill + arxiv

Pair with arxiv to pull papers Claude will guide you through

Pull the RLHF paper from arxiv, then socratically teach me.✓ 已複製

工具

此 MCP 暴露的能力

工具	輸入參數	何時呼叫	成本
socratic_guide	material + goal	Include 'socratic' / 'socrates' / 소크라테스 in your message	0

成本與限制

運行它的成本

API 配額: None
每次呼叫 Token 數: Low per turn; high across a long session
費用: Free
提示: Use a mid-tier model — Opus is overkill for Socratic questioning

安全

權限、密鑰、影響範圍

憑證儲存： None

資料出站： None beyond the model call

故障排查

常見錯誤與修復

Claude gives direct answers anyway

Reinforce by saying 'stick to Socratic method — no direct answers'

Questions feel too basic

Tell it your starting level: 'assume I know X'

替代方案

socrates-skill 對比其他方案

替代方案	何時用它替代	權衡
Regular chat	You just need the answer and will learn separately	No forced understanding
