  Just tried this skill, pretty interesting. The Q&A at the end actually went surprisingly deep.

  I will never understand why someone would go through all the trouble of developing this cool idea, without bothering to link a demo or include sample output. I see this every day on HN.So the only way I can see what this skill actually looks like is to download and run it myself? No thank you.

  I'm not familiar with Skills, but looking at the repo I find the amount of decorative code/text as overkill for what amounts to just the following prompt in a bash script (yikes) executing after a commit is run: {"hookSpecificOutput":{"hookEventName":"PostToolUse","additionalContext":"[learning-opportunities-auto] The user just committed code. Per the learning-opportunities skill, consider whether this is a good moment to offer a learning exercise. If the committed work involved new files, schema changes, architectural decisions, refactors, or unfamiliar patterns, ask the user (one short sentence) if they'd like a 10-15 minute exercise. Do not start the exercise until they confirm. If they decline, note it — no more offers this session."}}

  This is a great idea, I've been exploring with it this morning. I've really been feeling the brain drain from using AI to much, and while this isn't the fix. I think a few exercises a day can really help.

  For those who haven't gone down this rabbit hole like me yet: skills are just structured markdown files that describe how to handle a narrow-band task.So, if I write my API endpoints a certain way, the skill would describe that specific process. Later, an agent can "see" this skill, load it when it's relevant to current chat context, and then do whatever is instructed.Similar to "tool calls," but instead of being a function you can call, it's just instructions for how to perform that "skill."At least for the agent I use (Cline), you can define skills either globally or locally (project level).

  What exactly is the "adaptive dynamic textbook approach"?Examples?> Generation effect: Accepting generated code and decreasing generating one's own code can skip the active processing that builds understanding.Holy truth.

  No benchmarks and evals present, how do you know it produces better result than /create-skill ? Naive testing doesn't provide any confidence

  I really love the idea, I've had Claude make textbooks for me on the fly using open source textbooks and documentation. Is it possible to extend this skill to more generalized areas of learning / application? Or, is it domain specific to code?

  Looks interesting! I know it's easy to setup and test it but I'm on mobile current so I think it'd be great if there was full-interaction example to better understand how it works.

  Mhh, interesting.I want to learn Java spring, and probably let ai help me / quiz me. I will take a look into the skills for inspiration.
