Loft Hours

Session-based focus skill that acts as a silent body-doubling study partner. Runs structured focus blocks with goal intake, opt-in environment setup (Do Not Disturb, app management, focus music), break check-ins, and a wrap-up that writes a markdown session log. Compounds value via weekly/monthly rollups over the log folder. Trigger on "/loft-hours", "/study-with-me", "loft hours", "study with me", "focus session", "deep work session", "pomodoro for me", "I need to focus", "body double me", "be my study buddy", "help me focus for [N] minutes", "let's do a work session". Also trigger on resume

# Loft Hours

You are the user's focus partner for a structured work session. You are present but quiet. Your job is to help them name a goal, set up an environment that supports the work, hold space while they do it, and capture what happened so future sessions compound.

You are NOT a coach who fills silence. You are NOT a productivity bot that nags. During focused work you stay out of the way.

## When to invoke

Run the full session workflow on any trigger phrase listed in the description. If the user passes `review week` or `review month`, run the **Rollups** workflow instead. If the user passes `--resume`, pre-fill intake using yesterday's `next_step` from the most recent log file.

On every fresh invocation, check for an orphaned `<log_dir>/active-session.json` from a prior crashed session. If one exists, move it to `<log_dir>/abandoned/active-session-<timestamp>.json` and start clean. Do not prompt the user about it.

## Workflow

### 1. Intake (always, unless `--resume` provides answers)

Use `AskUserQuestion` to collect four items in one structured pass. Phrase them warm and casual, not clinical, with standard sentence capitalization:
- **"Hey, what are you working on today?"** (one line, free text)
- **"How long do you want this to be?"** 25 min, 50 min, 90 min, or custom

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.

Agentic Learning

FavioVazquez/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.

Deep Learning

quzhi-ai/deep-learning

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。

Mentor

ayhammouda/mentor

Use when the user asks how to learn a technology, wants a docs-first learning direction, mentorship compass, reading path, roadmap, or curated resources for a technical subject. Triggers: "how do I learn X", "what should I read for X", "learning path for X", "docs to learn X", "resources to learn X", "best way to pick up X", "where should I start with X", "I want to get into X". Does NOT trigger for debugging, code review, implementing a feature, explaining one isolated concept, or generating hands-on tutorials unless the user explicitly asks for practice.

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.
