description

Distill a reusable skill from anything — a directory, a URL, pasted notes, or what you just did together — or refine an existing skill with new learnings. Use when the user says '/learn', 'learn this', 'turn this into a skill', 'capture this workflow', 'make a skill from <source>', or 'improve/update the <name> skill'. Produces or updates a .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md authored to NanoClaw's skill guidelines. (This CREATES or REFINES a skill from a source; it does not install existing skills from a registry.)

Learn — Distill a Skill from Anything

Turn a source — a directory, a URL, pasted notes, or the work just done in this conversation — into a clean, reusable NanoClaw skill. The output is a new .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (plus optional scripts/, references/, templates/) authored to the project's skill guidelines.

This skill is instruction-only: it uses the tools you already have (Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, Write) — there is no separate distillation engine and no reach-ins into core code.

When to use

Invoke when the user wants to capture a workflow as a reusable skill:

• /learn <path> — read a project/dir and build a skill for working with it
• /learn <url> — read docs / an API page and build a usage skill
• /learn what we just did — distill the current conversation's workflow
• /learn + pasted notes — turn notes into a structured skill

If the user instead wants to find and install an existing community skill, that is a different task — this skill creates new skills, it does not import them.

Workflow

1. Identify the source — and whether this is a new skill or a refine
