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

• - 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

• - 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

• - 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

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

5. Report clearly

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.
