How do I start an AI learning session for a specific topic?

To start an AI learning session, tell the AI the topic you want to learn, such as "teach me calculus." The skill initializes the dialogue, generates a session ID, and stores progress for later review.

How does context recovery work for ongoing learning sessions?

Context recovery works by reading your learning plan and loading recent sessions to rebuild context. This maintains continuity across sessions so the AI remembers previous learning progress.
