File contents

Overview

Read-only, lightweight status display. No AI generation — just read state files and format them. Instant response.

When to Use

Quick check-in before deciding whether to learn today
Glancing at progress without a full report
Checking backlog size or current lesson state

Prerequisites

Profile must exist at ~/.claude/learning/profile.md. If not, tell the user: "No learning profile found. Run /init-learning to get started."

Process

1. Read State

~/.claude/learning/profile.md — gaps count
~/.claude/learning/lessons/current.md — active lesson (may not exist)
~/.claude/learning/backlog.md — count pending items
~/.claude/learning/logs/ — recent logs for streak calculation
~/.claude/learning/lessons/archive/ — count completed lessons, scan gap_addressed fields
~/.claude/learning/insights.md — count recurring struggles and confirmed strengths (may not exist)

2. Display

Format a concise status block:

Learning Status

Current lesson: [topic] — milestone X/Y
  (or: No active lesson)

Last session: [N days ago / today / yesterday]
  (or: No sessions yet)

Backlog: [N] items pending

Streak: [N] sessions this week

Lessons completed: [N] total
Gaps addressed: [N] / [M] from profile
Insights: [N] recurring struggles, [M] confirmed strengths

If insights.md doesn't exist, show: Insights: No data yet

If there are postponed lessons, add:

Postponed: [N] lessons (resumable via /learn)

3. Suggest Action

Based on state, add a one-line suggestion:

No profile: "Run /init-learning to set up your profile."
No backlog + no current: "Run /new-learning to find what to learn next."
Has backlog but no current: "Run /learn to start a lesson."
Has current lesson: "Run /learn to continue where you left off."
Long time since last session: "It's been a while! Run /learn to get back into it."

Important

This skill does NO AI generation — it reads files and formats output
Keep it fast — do not analyze or summarize content, just count and display
If files are missing, show "No data yet" for that section, not an error
The streak counts sessions in the current calendar week (Mon-Sun)
