cognition-skills

Connect a notification channel (Slack, Gmail, etc.) so Cognition can send you learning exercises throughout the day — even when your laptop is off.

Schedule learning exercises for the next 24 hours via Slack/Gmail. Runs at the end of every session so exercises arrive even when Claude Code is closed. The API decides WHEN and WHAT technique — you build the exercise and schedule delivery.

Send screen observations to the Cognition API as learning events. Transforms Screenpipe data into API event format.

Launch the Cognition GUI app. Opens the Electron window and connects Claude Code to it via WebSocket. Use this after /cognition:start or whenever you need the GUI.

Generate and deliver a learning exercise based on what the user is forgetting. Orchestrates different learning techniques.

Test if the user's confidence matches their actual knowledge. Use when calibration ECE is high or strategy is "overconfident".

Quick surprise retention check. A 30-second mini-quiz to test if a concept is still in memory. Use for concepts with high stability that haven't been tested recently.

Mix related concepts together in practice. Use when the interleaving plan suggests concept pairs or when the user's strategy is "cram_dependent".

Three-phase memory replay for deep consolidation. Use when the API recommends "review" or "spaced_review" for multiple related concepts.

Active recall quiz at optimal spacing intervals. The core spaced repetition technique. Use when the API recommends "quiz" or the concept has lapses > 0.

User explains a concept back to prove mastery. The most demanding and most effective technique. Use when the user explicitly asks to review or when testing deep understanding.

Poll Screenpipe for recent screen content and extract learning signals. Use when checking what the user has been doing on screen.

Check what knowledge is decaying and what needs review. Shows recommendations from the Cognition API.

Record learning exercise results back to the Cognition API. Updates the forgetting model.

Run a full study session — observe, predict, and practice in one flow

Bootstrap Cognition — automatically installs Screenpipe, sets up auth, connects everything, and begins your first learning session. One command, zero config.
