learn

learn is a skill for Codex from makecindy/cindy. It costs 42 tokens per session (342 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided workflow for turning a task, described process, or existing SkillHub skill into a reusable Cindy skill. It sends the material for review before saving it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps start skill learning from the current session, free-form instructions, or a named market or team catalog skill.
Why use it?
It avoids directly writing skill files and keeps creation under Cindy's managed review process.

About the project

Cindy is an open-source local AI agent that combines coding harnesses, language models, tools, memory, and skills to complete work across files, applications, browsers, computers, and phones. Its desktop and mobile client lets users switch between Claude Code, Codex, other models, and connected services while keeping task context continuous. The catalogue instructions relate to operating or developing this agent.

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 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 26d 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.

What it actually says

Learn

Start Cindy's managed Learn flow. Cindy gathers relevant evidence, creates the Skill in a separate task, and presents a diff for review before saving anything to the user's Skills directory.

Do not create or edit Skill files directly as a substitute for this flow.

Parse the invocation text after /learn (or Pi's /skill:learn runtime alias) and call cindy_helper → call_tool once with name: "start_skill_learning":

  • With no text, pass source_kind: "session" and input: "".
  • For hub:<slug> [instructions], pass source_kind: "hub", hub_slug: <slug>, hub_catalog_scope: "market", and the remaining text as input.
  • For hub:<market|team>:<slug> [instructions], use the stated hub_catalog_scope.
  • Otherwise pass source_kind: "freetext" and the full remaining text as input.

Do not pass a task ID, working directory, or output path. Cindy binds the current task and owns staging, review, and installation.

After a successful call, briefly tell the user that Learn started and that progress and review will appear in Cindy. Do not poll or call the tool again. If the helper or tool is unavailable, say that this Skill requires Cindy's Learn host; do not bypass its review flow by writing Skill files directly.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
