// Use when the user wants to set up or update their learning profile, configure learning preferences, update their role or gaps, add feedback from reviews or 1:1s, or when any other learning skill detects no profile exists. Triggers on: "set up learning", "update my learning profile", "init learning", or pasting performance feedback.
Use when the user is done learning for the day, wants to save progress, or wants to wrap up a lesson. Also triggered by /learn when postponing or abandoning. Updates the learning intelligence layer (insights.md) after each session. Triggers on: "end session", "done learning", "save progress", "wrap up", "end-learn", "I'm done for today".
Use when the user wants to sit down and learn, continue a lesson, practice a skill, or work through a learning project. Triggers on: "let's learn", "continue my lesson", "start learning", "practice", "I have time to learn", or "pick up where I left off".
Internal-only skill — never called directly by users. Provides the Learning Intelligence Layer. Two modes: "build context" (called by /learn at session start) reads learning history and produces a learner context; "update insights" (called by /end-learn after session close) updates the persistent insights.md summary.
Use when the user wants to review what they've learned, see progress on their gaps, get a summary of recent learning sessions, or wants article ideas based on learnings. Triggers on: "learning report", "what have I learned", "progress report", "summarize my learning", or "learning summary for the last month".
Use when the user wants a fast status check on their learning without a full report. Triggers on: "learning status", "where am I", "what's my learning state", "how's my learning going", or "check my progress".
Use when the user wants to find what to learn next, explore learning topics, get project ideas for a skill gap, or add a learning idea to their backlog. Triggers on: "what should I learn", "suggest learning projects", "I want to learn X", "add to my learning backlog", or "find me resources on X".

Create or update the learner profile at ~/.claude/learning/profile.md. This profile
drives all other learning skills — it defines who the learner is, where they want to
grow, and how they prefer to learn.
Ask one question at a time. Wait for the answer before asking the next. Use a warm, conversational tone. Every question should feel easy to answer — offer concrete options the user can pick from, edit, or use as inspiration.
Name: "What should I call you?"
Role: "What best describes your current role?"
Strengths: "Which of these are you already confident in? Pick all that apply, or add your own." Present a categorized menu based on their role. For engineers, show:
For non-engineering roles, adapt categories accordingly (e.g., for PMs: discovery, roadmapping, analytics, stakeholder management).
Tell the user: "Just list the letters or names — no need to be exhaustive, we can always update later."
Gaps: "Now the fun part — where do you want to grow? Here are common areas people want to improve. Pick any that resonate, or add your own." Present the SAME categories as strengths, but highlight the ones the user did NOT pick. Example: "You didn't mention frontend or infrastructure — are any of these gaps you'd like to close?"
Goals: "What's driving your learning? Pick one or tell me in your own words."
Learning style: "How do you learn best? Pick one."
"You can always override this per session — this just sets your default."
Session length: "How much time do you usually have for a learning session?"
"This helps me size each lesson milestone so it fits in one sitting."
Feedback (optional): "Last one! Do you have any feedback you'd like me to factor in? This could be:"
"Just paste it here and I'll extract the key themes. Or type 'skip' to finish."
If provided: extract themes, present them as a bullet list, and confirm with the user before saving. Example: "From your feedback, I'm picking up these themes: [list]. Look right?"
Create ~/.claude/learning/ directory if it doesn't exist. Write profile.md.
