Description
Context
Agentic coding tools are powerful but have a steep learning curve. Users often don't know what's possible, how to prompt effectively, or what's happening under the hood. Several competing tools have started tackling this through in-product education:
- Claude Code displays contextual tips during usage (e.g. "Try using /compact to free up context", keyboard shortcuts, workflow suggestions)
- Claude Code has an
/insightscommand that draws a report on how to use Claude better
- Claude Code has an
- Cursor/Windsurf surface context window usage visually, so users develop intuition about token limits
- Aider shows token cost per message, teaching users about efficiency
OpenHands could differentiate itself by making user education a first-class feature — not just tooltips, but a system that actively helps users become better at working with AI agents.
Next Steps [WIP]
- List all the competition's educative features
- Think about new educative features
- Consolidate
- Implement
