Learning Loop

The learning loop turns conversations into lasting knowledge. Ideas start rough, get refined through research, and settle into permanent notes in your vault. Every command serves one of three jobs: bringing ideas in, making them stronger, or keeping things tidy.

Start here

Curious about something? Run /learning-loop:discovery.

/learning-loop:discovery "spaced repetition"

It searches your vault for what you already know, researches the web for what you don't, and walks you through the topic interactively. You steer: it digs. At the end, key insights land in your inbox as atomic notes.

Want to just browse without saving anything? Add --surf:

/learning-loop:discovery "spaced repetition" --surf

Other options: --style guided|branch|checkpoint, --tone academic|conversational|persona.

Need depth, not a walk-through? Run /learning-loop:research.

/learning-loop:research "does creatine help cognition in sleep-deprived adults?"

Deep research with the local librarian doing the token-heavy middle: Claude scopes the question into search angles, the local Ollama model (12b+ tier) runs Search, Fetch, and Extract, then Claude adversarially verifies the surviving claims and synthesizes a cited report. Falls back to a Claude-native research path automatically when the librarian is unavailable or the model is below the research tier.

Reading something good? Run /learning-loop:literature.
