What it does
Learn Anything Skill turns an agent into a tutor and project coach. It first finds out the goal and the starting level, then gives a roadmap, organizes practice on small projects and checks that the topic is mastered. The method is project-driven learning plus Mastery Learning, meaning you move on only after the current step is mastered. The skill writes results to disk in the `study/` subdirectory of the working folder: the study plan, notes, a session review, a mastery check and a mistakes log sit in separate files. In programming the project is a minimal example or a debugging task, in other subjects a short report, a speech outline or a case analysis. If you provide materials, the agent teaches from them. Otherwise it looks for sources in this order: official documentation, textbooks and authoritative courses, then proven practice, and it labels facts and its own advice differently. Mastery is checked by retelling, error hunting, variations and transfer to a new task.
Who it is for. People learning a new subject with an agent who want a plan, practice and a result check saved in files.
Good fit when
- Learning SQL from scratch: a four-week plan and a small project are needed.
- Preparing for an exam and checking knowledge with tests and mistake analysis.
- Working through a textbook or article in parts and keeping notes in one file.
- After a lesson, wanting a review: what was understood, where it stalled and what to do next.
- Studying a non-programming subject such as economics or a language, taking a short report or speech outline instead of code.
Not a fit when
- You need a ready answer to one question with no plan and no files: by default the skill runs a lesson and writes notes.
- Lessons in Russian are needed with no setup: the skill's main language is Chinese.
- A grade or certificate is required: the skill checks mastery for the learner alone.
Example request
Use $learn-anything-skill to help me learn SQL: I know a little Python, give me a four-week plan and a practice project.Limitations
The skill's main language is Chinese: the description and instructions in `SKILL.md` are written in Chinese, and the file is edited for a different answer language. Results go to the `study/` directory of the working folder, so it is best to set up a separate one for lessons. The skill issues no grades or certificates. For OpenCode the author advises adapting it as a command, because the directory structure differs there. Besides the skill, the repository holds only document templates and a guide in two languages, with no extensions or server part.
How to disable. Delete the `learn-anything-skill` folder from the agent's skills directory. Files in `study/` stay, and you delete them by hand.
FAQ
How do I install Learn Anything Skill?
Run `npx skills add read2017/learn-anything-with-AI --skill learn-anything-skill`. For every project add the `-g` flag: `npx skills add -g read2017/learn-anything-with-AI --skill learn-anything-skill`.
How do I start a lesson?
Create a separate directory such as `mkdir -p learn-ai`, enter it and tell the agent what you want to learn, your level and your time. The agent proposes a plan and a first project.
Where does the skill save notes?
To the `study/` subdirectory of the current folder. The plan, notes, session review, mastery check and mistakes log sit in separate Markdown files, and if a file on the topic already exists, the skill appends to it.
How does the skill check that a topic is mastered?
It asks you to retell the material, find an error, solve a variation or transfer the idea to a new task. A topic counts as mastered when the learner can explain, apply and transfer the knowledge.
Does the skill work in Russian?
Its main language is Chinese, so Russian answers must be requested explicitly or the language changed in `SKILL.md`. The author lists changing tone and output language as the first typical customization.
Which subjects does it suit?
Programming, math and statistics, economics, foreign languages, history, writing and public speaking, and topics about AI and data.

--- name: learn-anything-skill description: 学习新知识、制定学习计划、整理笔记、课后复盘、项目陪练、掌握度检查、生成项目任务书。中文导师 + 项目教练，项目驱动 + Mastery Learning。Use when the user wants to learn a topic, create a study plan, review notes, or run a mastery check. --- # 万科学习导师 ## Overview 以中文为主进行跨学科导师式教学与项目陪练。默认不只解释概念，而是先诊断目标与起点，再给结构化讲解、产出型项目、掌握度检查和下一步安排。 默认把关键学习产出写入当前工作目录下的 Markdown 文件，而不只停留在聊天回复中。除非用户明确要求只在对话里回答，或当前环境不允许写文件，否则应把学习计划、学习笔记、复盘、项目任务书、掌握度检查和错题/卡点记录落盘保存。 ## Task Decision Tree 每次触发后，先判断当前任务属于哪一类： - 学新知识：解释概念、搭建知识框架、补最小案例 - 学习路线：生成阶段计划、周计划、里程碑和验收标准 - 项目陪练：把知识组织成小项目、任务书或作品型交付物 - 资料精读：带读教材、论文、文档、文章、课程讲义或用户笔记 - 复盘纠偏：分析卡点、错题、拖延、混淆概念或低效方法 - 掌握度评估：判断用户停留在“知道、会用、会改、会设计、会迁移”的哪一层 如果用户目标不清晰，先补 1-3 个最关键的信息： - 要学什么，或本轮要解决什么问题 - 当前基础、已读资料或已有产出 - 时间限制、交付物或实际使用场景 如果用户目标已经清晰，直接进入教学，不要为了形式重复追问。 ## Default Teaching Flow 按这个顺序推进，除非用户明确要求跳过某一步： 1. 明确目标 - 说清这轮学习要达成的结果，不把多个核心能力点混在一起。 - 输出应围绕一个最重要的能力增量展开。 2. 判断起点 - 识别用户属于零基础、补短板、项目冲刺、备考梳理、资料精读或复盘纠偏中的哪一类。 - 找出最小前置知识缺口；如果缺前置，先补最小必要部分。 3. 拆能力点 - 把目标拆成 2-5 个可学习、可验证的能力点。 - 标明哪些是核心主线，哪些是暂时可以延后。
