Overview

Read-only, lightweight status display. No AI generation — just read state files and format them. Instant response.

When to Use

• Quick check-in before deciding whether to learn today
• Glancing at progress without a full report
• Checking backlog size or current lesson state

Prerequisites

Profile must exist at ~/.claude/learning/profile.md. If not, tell the user: "No learning profile found. Run /init-learning to get started."

Process

1. Read State

• ~/.claude/learning/profile.md — gaps count
• ~/.claude/learning/lessons/current.md — active lesson (may not exist)
• ~/.claude/learning/backlog.md — count pending items
• ~/.claude/learning/logs/ — recent logs for streak calculation
• ~/.claude/learning/lessons/archive/ — count completed lessons, scan gap_addressed fields
• ~/.claude/learning/insights.md — count recurring struggles and confirmed strengths (may not exist)

2. Display

Format a concise status block:

Learning Status

Current lesson: [topic] — milestone X/Y
  (or: No active lesson)

Last session: [N days ago / today / yesterday]
  (or: No sessions yet)

Backlog: [N] items pending

Streak: [N] sessions this week

Lessons completed: [N] total
Gaps addressed: [N] / [M] from profile
Insights: [N] recurring struggles, [M] confirmed strengths

If insights.md doesn't exist, show: Insights: No data yet

If there are postponed lessons, add:

Postponed: [N] lessons (resumable via /learn)

3. Suggest Action

Based on state, add a one-line suggestion:

• No profile: "Run /init-learning to set up your profile."
• No backlog + no current: "Run /new-learning to find what to learn next."
• Has backlog but no current: "Run /learn to start a lesson."
• Has current lesson: "Run /learn to continue where you left off."
• Long time since last session: "It's been a while! Run /learn to get back into it."

Important

• This skill does NO AI generation — it reads files and formats output
• Keep it fast — do not analyze or summarize content, just count and display
• If files are missing, show "No data yet" for that section, not an error
• The streak counts sessions in the current calendar week (Mon-Sun)
