He doesn’t give you the answer.He gives you the question.
Finney is your AI coach on Skilled Rabbit. He’s in your AI tool when you’re working, and in your coaching area when you’re reflecting. He coaches you through every mission — not by doing it for you, but by asking the question that makes you find it yourself.
Most AI tools answer questions. Finney asks them. That’s not a limitation — it’s the whole point. The skill you’re building isn’t “getting AI to produce things.” It’s learning to direct AI precisely, in your domain, for your work. Finney’s job is to make sure that skill actually lands — in you, not in a response you copy-pasted.
Why we coach this way — read the philosophyFinney is in two places.Both of them are where you need him.
Most learning platforms have a dashboard and a course. Skilled Rabbit has two surfaces that share the same state — and Finney is present in both.
Your AI tool — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or claude.ai. This is where you work. Finney connects via MCP and is present during missions. He sees what you’ve built and what you’re stuck on. He doesn’t wait for you to come to him.
Your private space at skilledrabbit.ai — Field Notes, progress, reflection. This is where you reflect on the work you’ve done in the training field. Finney coaches here too — with full context from your sessions.
Finney marks your checkpoints complete as you go and sends the artifacts you produce to your coaching area — where you and Finney reflect on your progress and your work together. What you discuss there shapes what he brings to the next mission. One journey. Two surfaces. No copy-pasting context between them.
Your work stays yours. Finney only shares what’s needed to coach you — your training progress and the artifacts you save — never your private files or anything outside Skilled Rabbit. See exactly which data is shared, and which isn’t
He follows the work, not the schedule.
Finney isn’t a chatbot with a script. He coaches differently depending on where you are in a mission — because what you need at the start of a checkpoint is different from what you need when you’re stuck halfway through.
“What do you already understand about this? Before I explain, I want to know where you’re starting from.”
Activates what you have before adding to it.“You’re on the right track. What’s the next smallest step? Not the end result — the next step.”
Momentum over reassurance.“You built X. Three weeks ago you didn’t know where to start. Now you have a working Y. Remember this moment.”
Identity reinforcement — you are someone who finishes things.Finney also builds a picture of you over time. He learns your interests, your working style, the domains where analogies land. By week three, his coaching sounds less like a generic tutorial and more like someone who’s been watching you work.

You don’t need commands. You just talk to him.
Finney isn’t a command line. You ask him the way you’d ask a coach sitting beside you — in plain language. He already knows your training, your week, your last checkpoint, and what you were stuck on. So you just say what you need.
Hi Finney, which checkpoint am I on?
I’m stuck on this part — what should I do next?
Can you take a look at what I just built?
I think I’m done with this one.
You never fill in forms or paste your work into a portal. When something’s finished, Finney marks the checkpoint complete and saves what you built for you. You stay in the work; he keeps the record.
Prefer shortcuts? There are slash commands too — /finney hint, /finney next, /finney progress — but you never need them. Asking always works.
Whichever Claude client you already use.
Finney connects via MCP — the standard protocol for AI agent integrations. You don’t switch tools to train with Finney. He comes to wherever you already work.
You need a paid Claude subscription — Claude Pro or Team Standard (or higher). Free-tier accounts can’t complete the MCP handshake. This is a platform requirement, not an upsell. Finney lives in the tool — the tool needs to support the connection.
Connecting Claude to Skilled Rabbit isn’t a technical setup. Finney helps you do it himself — a clear, step-by-step walk-through in plain language, one step at a time. You follow along; there’s nothing to configure on your own. See the full setup guide
What he won’t do.
He won’t solve the problem for you. That’s not a bug in the design — it’s the whole point. If Finney writes the prompt, you haven’t learned to write prompts. If he finishes the workflow, the skill never transfers. Every time he asks a question instead of giving an answer, that’s intentional.
He won’t write your code. The AI tool you’re using will handle implementation when the training calls for it. Finney coaches the decisions — what to build, how to structure it, why it’s not working. The actual output comes from you and your AI tool together.
He won’t remember everything forever. Finney has context within your training — your rank, your progress, your recent struggles. He doesn’t have a perfect memory of every conversation you’ve ever had. He knows enough to coach well. That’s different from knowing everything.
He won’t work outside the training. Finney’s coaching boundaries are the training. Questions about your personal life, your career, your relationships — those belong somewhere else. He’ll tell you so clearly and without judgment.
This platform is its own proof of concept.
Skilled Rabbit was built by a non-developer in 12 weeks — with the exact tools and method it teaches: Claude, MCP, and the Rabbit Loop. The platform is its own proof of concept.
You don't collect certificates here — you collect work. Every mission ends in a real artifact you keep: a prompt that ran, a workflow that triggered, a feature that shipped.
Finney lives inside Claude via MCP. He knows your progress and coaches you while you work — not in a portal you forget to open.
Meet Finney inside the rabbit hole.
The first three weeks are free. No credit card, no commitment. One small install, and Finney guides you in from your very first message. He’s waiting on the other side.
