How does /learn work?

[tomasz-tomczyk]

Thanks for putting this together. I'm mostly interested in just using the /learn skill but wanted to clarify -- it correctly creates new markdown files in .claude/skills/learned but they won't be picked up by future sessions, right? Because each skill should have its own directory?

So is that something up to the end user to determine what is genuinely a useful skill to expand and promote to a "proper" skill?

Thanks!

Correct: the lightweight /learn output is intentionally a staging area, not a guarantee that every extracted markdown becomes a first-class always-loaded skill.

The older /learn flow is basically:

1. extract a reusable pattern
2. save it as a learned artifact
3. review it
4. promote or rewrite the good ones into proper skill structure if they deserve permanence

So yes, end-user curation is part of the design.

If you want the more structured path, continuous-learning-v2 is the better direction now: observe -> instinct -> evolve / promote. That avoids turning every session artifact into a heavyweight skill too early.
