In plain words
What is it for?
It helps you learn how skills are structured, when to create one, and how skills differ from builds.
Why use it?
It helps you recognize repeated work and turn it into a consistent workflow instead of doing the same steps manually each time.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

learn-skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

[TARGET] Build-First Onboarding (CONTEXTUAL SUGGESTION)

This is a learning skill. With Build-First onboarding, suggest AFTER first task execution, not before.

Auto-Complete via Checkpoint

# In user-config.yaml
build_first.checkpoints.first_task_executed: true  → learn_skills auto-completed!

When user completes their first section in execute-build, learn_skills is automatically marked complete via auto_complete_map. They learned by DOING.

When to Proactively Suggest (Pattern Detection)

Check both:

  • learning_tracker.completed.learn_skills - explicit completion
  • build_first.checkpoints.first_task_executed - auto-completion

PROACTIVELY SUGGEST when user:

  1. Pattern detected - does something similar to previous work ("I notice you've done this type of task before...")
  2. Creates multiple similar builds (report-jan, report-feb anti-pattern)
  3. Describes repeating work patterns ("every week I...", "I always have to...")
  4. Explicitly asks to learn about skills/automation

Suggestion Pattern (After Pattern Detection):

💡 I notice you've done similar work before. Want to understand how to
turn repeating workflows into Skills?

'learn skills' covers:
- The 3-criteria skill-worthiness framework
- How skills are structured
- How AI triggers skills automatically

Say 'learn skills' for the deep-dive (10 min), or continue working.

Anti-Pattern Detection:

If user creates: report-jan, report-feb, report-mar...
→ "I notice you're creating similar items. This is a perfect use case for
   a SKILL instead of multiple builds. Want to 'learn skills' to understand
   how to capture this as a reusable workflow?"

DO NOT suggest if:

  • User is working on their FIRST build/task (let them DO first)
  • User explicitly says "skip" or dismisses
  • User is mid-task and focused
  • No repeating pattern detected

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
