We have not run this Skill ourselves, so there is no demo. Read its source and the notes below before you use it.

What it does

Treats the current directory as a stateful teaching workspace. It first pins down your mission, the concrete reason you want the skill, then builds a MISSION.md, a RESOURCES.md of trusted sources, and writes short self-contained HTML lessons, each tied to the mission and aimed at your zone of proximal development. Lessons are built from reusable components in an assets folder and link to reference sheets such as cheat sheets and glossaries. It separates fluency from long-term retention, and uses retrieval practice, spacing and interleaving. Learning records capture what you have demonstrated, so later sessions do not re-teach it. It also points you to communities for the "wisdom" part.

Output

MISSION.md, RESOURCES.md, lessons, reference documents, learning records and notes in your folder, one lesson at a time.

Good for

Anyone learning a skill or concept over weeks who wants structure and long-term retention rather than a one-off explanation. It is a long, opinionated workflow.

Notes & risks

Medium risk: instructions only, no scripts, but it writes many files into the current folder (MISSION.md, lessons, assets, records), may look up resources with the agent's own tools and may open a lesson file with a command. Use an empty folder for it. Not test-run: it needs a writable workspace and is set to be invoked by the user only, so there is no demo and the front end marks it as unverified. Resource links it suggests should be checked. By Matt Pocock, MIT.
