Ship-Learn-Next Action Planner

This skill helps transform passive learning content into actionable Ship-Learn-Next cycles - turning advice and lessons into concrete, shippable iterations.

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

• Has a transcript/article/tutorial and wants to "implement the advice"
• Asks to "turn this into a plan" or "make this actionable"
• Wants to extract implementation steps from educational content
• Needs help breaking down big ideas into small, shippable reps
• Says things like "I watched/read X, now what should I do?"

Core Framework: Ship-Learn-Next

Every learning quest follows three repeating phases:

1. SHIP - Create something real (code, content, product, demonstration)
2. LEARN - Honest reflection on what happened
3. NEXT - Plan the next iteration based on learnings

Key principle: 100 reps beats 100 hours of study. Learning = doing better, not knowing more.

How This Skill Works

Step 1: Read the Content

Read the file the user provides (transcript, article, notes):

# User provides path to file
FILE_PATH="/path/to/content.txt"

Use the Read tool to analyze the content.

Step 2: Extract Core Lessons

Identify from the content:

• Main advice/lessons: What are the key takeaways?
• Actionable principles: What can actually be practiced?
• Skills being taught: What would someone learn by doing this?
• Examples/case studies: Real implementations mentioned

Do NOT:

• Summarize everything (focus on actionable parts)
• List theory without application
• Include "nice to know" vs "need to practice"

Step 3: Define the Quest

Help the user frame their learning goal:

Ask:

1. "Based on this content, what do you want to achieve in 4-8 weeks?"
2. "What would success look like? (Be specific)"
3. "What's something concrete you could build/create/ship?"
