SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The learning-capture skill helps you identify and capture valuable patterns, workflows, and domain knowledge during work sessions, enabling their reuse in future tasks to save time and context window tokens.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pattern Recognition: Identifies five types of learning moments (novel problem-solving, repeated patterns, domain-specific knowledge, effective reasoning patterns, workflow optimizations).
  • Decision Framework: Offers capture when high ROI is expected, strong reusability signals are present, and it's not redundant with existing capabilities.
  • Capture Process: Guides through recognizing learning moments, evaluating against the decision framework, offering capture, structuring the draft skill, and presenting the draft for review.
  • Templates: Provides templates for structuring different types of skills based on the learning moment type.
  • Resources: Includes detailed examples of high-confidence and low-confidence scenarios, recognition pattern checklists, and decision threshold guidelines.

Quick Start

To capture a learning moment, first recognize the trigger. Then, evaluate if the learning moment meets the decision framework criteria. If so, offer capture after completing the task, and follow the structured process to create a draft skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture reusable patterns and domain knowledge from work sessions?

To capture reusable patterns and domain knowledge, recognize specific learning moments like novel problem-solving or workflow optimizations, evaluate them against a decision framework, and structure the captured insights into a draft skill for future reuse.

When should I capture workflow optimizations to maximize context window ROI?

You should capture workflow optimizations when high ROI is expected, specifically identifying patterns that will save 500 or more tokens per reuse across at least 10 future uses, while ensuring the knowledge is not redundant with existing capabilities.

What types of learning moments trigger the pattern recognition process?

The pattern recognition process triggers on five learning moment types: novel problem-solving, repeated patterns, domain-specific knowledge, effective reasoning patterns, and workflow optimizations encountered during active work sessions.

How do I evaluate if a captured pattern is worth structuring into a draft skill?

You evaluate a captured pattern using a structured decision framework that checks for high context window ROI, strong reusability signals, and confirms the knowledge is not redundant with existing capabilities before offering to structure it into a draft skill.

Does the skill capture process provide templates for different types of domain knowledge?

The skill capture process provides specific templates for structuring different types of domain knowledge based on the identified learning moment type, alongside detailed examples and decision threshold guidelines to guide the capture.

What is the best way to avoid capturing redundant workflows and domain knowledge?

The best way to avoid capturing redundant workflows is to apply a conservative approach within the decision framework, verifying strong reusability signals and confirming the knowledge is not redundant with existing capabilities before offering capture.
