/learn

Extract reusable patterns from this session and save them as learned skills

Run:/learn

/learn - Extract Reusable Patterns

Analyze the current session and extract any patterns worth saving as skills.

Trigger

Run /learn at any point during a session when you've solved a non-trivial problem.

What to Extract

Look for:

  • Error Resolution Patterns
- What error occurred? - What was the root cause? - What fixed it? - Is this reusable for similar errors?

  • Debugging Techniques
- Non-obvious debugging steps - Tool combinations that worked - Diagnostic patterns

  • Workarounds
- Library quirks - API limitations - Version-specific fixes

  • Project-Specific Patterns
- Codebase conventions discovered - Architecture decisions made - Integration patterns

Output Format

Create a skill file at ~/.claude/skills/learned/[pattern-name].md:

# [Descriptive Pattern Name]
Extracted: [Date]
Context: [Brief description of when this applies]
Problem

[What problem this solves - be specific]
Solution

[The pattern/technique/workaround]
Example

[Code example if applicable]
When to Use

[Trigger conditions - what should activate this skill]

Process

  • Review the session for extractable patterns
  • Identify the most valuable/reusable insight
  • Draft the skill file
  • Ask user to confirm before saving
  • Save to ~/.claude/skills/learned/

Notes

  • Don't extract trivial fixes (typos, simple syntax errors)
  • Don't extract one-time issues (specific API outages, etc.)
  • Focus on patterns that will save time in future sessions
  • Keep skills focused - one pattern per skill
