Khan Progress Rewards for Your Coding Agent

The reusable version of "watch Khan and reward what the kid actually did." Invoke it in Codex or Claude Code and it stands up an hourly loop: read your kid's real Khan Academy progress read-only, auto-award genuine mastery gains in Sprout within a daily budget, ask you one-tap only for milestones or over-budget cases, and stay silent otherwise. One daily digest, never re-asks.

Khan Progress Rewards for Your Coding Agent

About

Sets up a home-agent loop (Codex or Claude Code) that hourly reads a kid's real Khan Academy progress read-only, rewards genuine mastery gains in Sprout within a daily budget, asks the parent one-tap only for milestones or over-budget cases, and stays silent otherwise — one daily digest, no re-asking, durable local history. This is the reusable version of the "watch Khan and reward what the kid actually did" loop. Authored for the coding agent; not a kid-facing activity.

How it works

  1. 1Install the engineSaves a tiny deterministic engine plus your reward config to ~/.sprout-khan and writes the fixed hourly run instruction.
  2. 2Schedule it hourlyWires an idempotent hourly job in your agent (Codex or Claude Code) that reads Khan read-only and runs the engine.
  3. 3Reward quietlyAuto-awards real mastery gains within your daily budget, asks you one-tap for milestones or over-budget gains, stays silent otherwise, and never re-asks the same progress.
  4. 4One daily digestPosts a single daily summary and keeps a durable local history that survives even if a Sprout or Khan account is deleted.
