Learn

/learn - Codebase Learning

Explore a codebase → create hub + 3 focused docs.

Usage

/learn [url]             # Clone + explore
/learn [repo-path]       # Explore local

Step 0: Clone if URL

date "+🕐 %H:%M (%A %d %B %Y)"
ghq get [url]
mkdir -p ψ/learn/[REPO_NAME]

Step 1: Launch 2 Agents (PARALLEL)

Agent 1: Structure Scout

Explore [REPO_PATH]. Return:

## What It Does
[2-3 paragraphs: project purpose, why it exists, who it's for]

## How It Works
[Core mechanism in plain English. What's the key idea?]

## Architecture
| Component | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
[7-10 rows]

[Explain relationships between components - 2-3 sentences]

## Dependencies
| Package | Why |
|---------|-----|
[Key deps with explanation]

STYLE: Tables for structure, prose for explanation. ~80 lines.

Agent 2: Code Hunter

Explore [REPO_PATH]. Return:

## Key Patterns
For each pattern (3 patterns):

### [Pattern Name]
**What**: [1-2 sentences]
**Why it's clever**: [1-2 sentences]
[Code block]

## Quick Reference
- **Install**: [command]
- **Key files**: [list]
- **Entry point**: [file]

STYLE: Explain the "why", not just show. ~70 lines.

Step 2: Main Agent Creates 4 Files

File 1: [REPO].md (Hub)

# [REPO] - Learning Notes

**Date**: [TODAY]
**Repo**: [URL]

## Summary
[1 paragraph from Agent 1]

## Key Insight
[The ONE pattern worth stealing from Agent 2]

## Files
- [[ARCHITECTURE]] - Structure + how it works
- [[CODE-SNIPPETS]] - Patterns worth stealing
- [[QUICK-REFERENCE]] - Quick lookup

## Links
- Repo: [url]
- Demo: [if any]

File 2: ARCHITECTURE.md

# [REPO] - Architecture

## What It Does
[From Agent 1 - 2-3 paragraphs]

## How It Works
[From Agent 1 - core mechanism]

## Components
| Component | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
[From Agent 1]

[Relationship explanation]

## Dependencies
| Package | Why |
|---------|-----|
[From Agent 1]

File 3: CODE-SNIPPETS.md
