Agentic Learning

A learning partner skill grounded in neuroscience and philosophy. Use when you want to actually learn a concept (not just get an answer), quiz yourself on a codebase, reflect on what you built, brainstorm a design collaboratively, practice productive struggle on a hard problem, journal a decision with its alternatives and consequences, or schedule concepts to revisit later. Invoke with @agentic-learning followed by one of: learn, quiz, reflect, space, brainstorm, explain-first, struggle, either-or, explain, interleave, or cognitive-load.

# Agentic Learning

A learning partner that applies nine neuroscience-backed techniques — retrieval, spacing, generation, reflection, interleaving, cognitive load management, metacognition, oracy, and formative feedback — to help you build real understanding while you build software. Based on research cited in [references/learning-science.md](references/learning-science.md).

**Core principle:** Fluent answers from an LLM are not the same as learning. This skill resists the illusion of competence by making you do the cognitive work — with support, not shortcuts.

## Actions

### `learn` — Retrieval + Generation teaching

**Trigger:** `@agentic-learning learn <topic>`

**What to do:**
1. Read the current file or codebase context relevant to the topic.
2. Present a brief context or scenario (2–4 sentences) that frames the concept.
3. Ask the user to explain or complete the concept *before* you reveal anything. Examples:
   - "Before I explain, what do you already know about `<topic>`?"
   - "Here's the function signature: `<sig>` — what do you think it does?"
   - "What's the difference between X and Y in your own words?"
4. Wait for the user's answer. Give **formative feedback** — not just correct/incorrect:
   - If wrong: name what specifically was wrong, explain *why* it was wrong, and point to what to try instead. Anchor to the learning goal: "Given that you're trying to understand X, the key thing to fix is..."

Self Improvement

lanyasheng/self-improving-agent

Captures learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User explicitly corrects agent with direct correction like 'No, that's wrong', (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails. CRITICAL: Maximum 1 learning log per user message. Do NOT chain multiple self-improvement actions.

Think Like Me

kakha13/think-like-me

Personal engineering rules and reasoning patterns the user has curated over time. Consult BEFORE writing, modifying, debugging, or designing any technical feature — rules often cover domain-specific gotchas (e.g., mobile audio timers need background mode) that generic answers miss. Also triggers on `/learn-this`, "learn this", "remember this", or `/new-rule` to capture new rules, and on detected corrections to previously proposed code.

苏格拉底式深度学习导师 —— 当你想"真正搞懂"一样东西（一个概念、一套系统、一个业务领域、一段代码、一篇文章的底层逻辑），而不只是要个答案时使用。它不一次性把答案倒出来，而是循序渐进地教、逼你用自己的话复述、追着问"为什么"直到根因，并全程维护一份 Markdown 学习清单跟踪理解程度。触发词："我想搞懂 XX""学透 XX""deep learning""带我学透""教我懂""讲透""我好像懂了又讲不清""考考我懂没懂""逐步教我""我想学 XX 但要真懂""帮我理解 XX 的原理"。只要用户表达出"要的是真懂、不是结论"的意图，哪怕没说"学透"二字也应触发。**不要用于**：① 纯事实查询（"今天周几""这个 API 怎么调"——直接答）；② 要快速产出的执行任务（写邮件/做 PPT/出报告——用对应执行工具）；③ 决策类（要不要做某事）、方案设计类（从零设计一个系统）、故障诊断类（查一个出问题的根因）——这些请用对应的专门工具。本 skill 专攻"理解已存在的知识"，不负责决策、设计、诊断。
