Skill: learner

Extract reusable skills and patterns from work sessions.

When to Use

• After successful problem-solving
• When discovering useful patterns
• Before ending sessions with learnings
• To capture tribal knowledge
• When doing something novel well

Learning Capture Process

1. Identify Learnings

• What worked well?
• What did we discover?
• What would we do differently?
• What patterns emerged?

2. Extract Pattern

• Generalize from specific
• Create reusable form
• Document context
• Add examples

3. Create Skill Entry

• Name the skill
• Define trigger
• Write content
• Add constraints

4. Integrate

• Place in skill catalog
• Update AGENTS.md
• Test with examples
• Share if valuable

What to Learn

Techniques

• Useful algorithms
• Efficient approaches
• Clever solutions
• Tool combinations

Patterns

• Common structures
• Repeated solutions
• Best practices
• Anti-patterns to avoid

Context

• When to use X vs Y
• Trade-offs made
• Constraints that matter
• Environmental factors

Mistakes
