The student-loan question is really an allocation question: the same $400/month can attack the balances (a guaranteed return equal to the weighted APR), sit in investments (a higher assumed return with risk attached), or — on a forgiveness track — do active damage, since extra payments shrink the amount that would have been forgiven. The right answer depends on the APRs, the program, and the person's risk temperament, and the honest move is simulating all three on the actual loans and naming which assumptions carry the conclusion.
Student Loan Strategy is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/student-loan-strategy/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked should I pay off my student loans faster, pay loans or invest, is my forgiveness track worth it, or model my student debt. Produces the three-path comparison from the script, the guaranteed-return framing, the forgiveness-track math with its warnings, and the decision sheet.
The Student Loan Strategy Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 158,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
