Does this skill require a Git repository?

Yes, it is designed for filesystem-first knowledge management and uses Git commands to create branches and pull requests for knowledge updates.

What is the difference between curation and appending?

Appending simply adds new text to the end of a file, while curation involves reading existing content, removing what is no longer relevant, and keeping the most important points concise.

How does the 'Learn' skill handle stale information?

The skill uses a 'Right Now' section for high-relevance items and a 'Recent Context' section that automatically prunes entries older than 30 days or exceeding 10 total entries.

When should I activate the Learn skill?

You should trigger it when you have new session summaries in your inbox, after major project decisions, or whenever you want Claude to 'remember' new workflows.

Productivity & Workflow

Transforms session summaries into persistent system knowledge by intelligently curating role definitions and historical context.

About

The Learn skill implements a sophisticated 'Context Lake' pattern to ensure your Claude instance evolves alongside your project's lifecycle. Instead of simply appending logs, it intelligently analyzes session summaries to update role-specific documentation, distinguishing between currently relevant operational needs in the 'Right Now' section and timestamped historical decisions in 'Recent Context'. By automating the extraction of key decisions and workflows into a structured Git-based workflow, it maintains a clean, up-to-date knowledge base that prevents context drift and improves Claude's long-term performance.

Key Features

Automated Context Pruning: Maintains documentation performance by automatically rotating and pruning entries older than 30 days.
Git-Integrated Workflow: Automates the creation of learning branches and Pull Requests for human-in-the-loop verification.
Decision Tracking: Extracts and persists architectural decisions, tool modifications, and workflow improvements across sessions.
Intelligent Curation: Filters session summaries to identify high-impact changes rather than simple appending.
Dual-Layer Context: Separates active 'Right Now' priorities from timestamped 'Recent Context' history.

Use Cases

Post-Session Synchronization: Automatically updating the system's internal documentation after completing a complex coding task.
Role Evolution: Ensuring specialized Claude roles stay updated with the latest project standards and active development priorities.
Context Compression: Summarizing long chat histories into structured, persistent files to reduce token usage and improve clarity.
