Skill Learner#

Overview#

Use this skill to turn repeated work into reusable skill knowledge. Focus on extracting patterns, not doing the underlying task again.

Learning workflow#

1. Identify the pattern#

Look for repeated signals such as:

• the same type of task happening multiple times
• the same correction from the user more than once
• repeated tool sequences
• repeated failures or omissions
• repeated project workflows that should be standardized

2. Decide the right outcome#

Choose one:

• create a new skill
• improve an existing skill
• add a reference file or script to an existing skill
• record a smaller local operating rule instead of creating a full skill

3. Extract the reusable pieces#

Capture only what is worth reusing, such as:

• triggers for when the skill should be used
• the core workflow
• decision rules
• scripts or references that would prevent repetition
• common pitfalls and corrections

4. Recommend the smallest useful skill shape#

Prefer the lightest structure that solves the repeated problem:

• SKILL.md only
• SKILL.md + references
• SKILL.md + scripts

5. Report clearly#

Use this structure:

Pattern observed#

• what keeps repeating

Why it should become skill knowledge#

• what waste/error it prevents

Recommended action#

• new skill / improve existing skill / local rule only

Minimal skill shape#

• what files/resources are actually needed

Rules#

• Do not create a skill unless the pattern is real and reusable.
• Prefer improving an existing skill over creating duplicates.
• Keep recommendations lean.
• Avoid auxiliary documentation clutter.
• If a local workspace rule is enough, say so instead of forcing a new skill.
