Learning Vault Generator

Create or maintain a learning vault for certifications, courses, skill acquisition, or research programs. This is the learning profile of Open Knowledge Vault. Read ../open-knowledge-vault/skills/open-knowledge-vault/SKILL.md when available for shared setup, preservation, provenance, and audit. The learning profile below remains usable independently.

Trigger Phrases

• "create a learning vault for X"
• "build a study vault"
• "set up a certification vault"
• "learning vault for [topic]"
• "/learning-vault"

Interactive Setup

Infer answers from the request and existing vault. Ask only for missing information that changes the result; avoid repeating setup questions for maintenance. Use an available user-input tool rather than assuming a particular client API.

1. Subject & Goal

• What is the learning goal? (certification, course, skill, research)
• What is the subject? (e.g., "AWS Solutions Architect", "Rust programming", "Machine Learning")
• Is there a specific exam or assessment? If yes, get: format, passing score, domains/topics, timeline

2. Structure

• How many main topics/domains? (auto-detect from curriculum if URL provided)
• Are there courses to track? (get URLs, lesson counts)
• Are there scenarios/practice areas?

3. Self-Assessment

• For each domain/topic, ask: "How confident are you?" (expert/strong/moderate/needs-work/no-experience)
• This drives the study priority ordering

4. Configuration

• Vault location (default: ~/Brains/{subject-slug}/)
• Daily notes? (yes/no)
• Dataview is optional; default to ordinary Markdown navigation unless requested

Vault Architecture

Based on the genome vault pattern at ~/Brains/genome/:
