# 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.
