Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Extract reusable knowledge from this session and save to persistent memory or new skillsKey capabilities
- →Identify and save user corrections from the session
- →Extract and store successful or failed coding patterns
- →Record data quirks and Stata/R translation issues
- →Document user workflow and communication style preferences
- →Save general learnings to MEMORY.md
- →Create new skill patterns in .claude/skills/
How it works
The skill reviews the current session for corrections, patterns, and preferences, then categorizes and writes this reusable knowledge to appropriate persistent memory locations or new skill files.
Inputs & outputs
When to use learn
- →Saving session learnings
- →Persisting coding patterns
- →Storing user preferences
About this skill
Learn
Extract reusable knowledge from the current session and persist it for future sessions.
Input: $ARGUMENTS — optional topic focus. If blank, review the full session.
What to Extract
Corrections ([LEARN] tags)
Look for any [LEARN:category] tags in the conversation where the user corrected Claude. Save as:
[LEARN:category] wrong assumption → correct behavior
Patterns
- Coding patterns that worked well or failed
- Data quirks that will recur (e.g., {{data source}} missing value format)
- Stata/R translation gotchas encountered
- File path conventions that are easy to get wrong
Preferences
- User workflow preferences discovered during the session
- Communication style preferences
- Tool usage patterns
Where to Save
| Type | Location |
|---|---|
| General learnings | MEMORY.md (update, don't duplicate) |
| Stata-specific | .claude/rules/stata-r-conventions.md |
| Data-specific | Relevant backmatter chapter (93 for problems) |
| New skill pattern | Create new skill in .claude/skills/ |
Process
- Review the session for corrections, discoveries, and patterns
- Check existing memory — don't duplicate what's already stored
- Categorize each learning (correction, pattern, preference, skill)
- Write to appropriate location
- Report what was saved and where
Quality Gates
- Don't save speculative conclusions from a single interaction
- Don't save session-specific context (current task, temp state)
- Do save stable patterns confirmed across multiple observations
- Do save explicit user requests ("always do X", "never do Y")
When not to use it
- →When saving speculative conclusions from a single interaction
- →When saving session-specific context or temporary state
- →When the information is already stored in memory
Limitations
- →It does not save speculative conclusions from a single interaction
- →It does not save session-specific context or temporary state
- →It only saves stable patterns confirmed across multiple observations or explicit user requests
How it compares
This skill systematically extracts and categorizes specific types of reusable knowledge from a session for persistence, unlike manual note-taking which may lack structure or consistent storage.

makenotion
Transforms conversations and discussions into structured documentation pages in Notion. Captures insights, decisions, and knowledge from chat context, formats appropriately, and saves to wikis or databases with proper organization and linking for easy discovery.
history-insight
team-attention
This skill should be used when user wants to access, capture, or reference Claude Code session history. Trigger when user says "capture session", "save session history", or references past/current conversation as a source - whether for saving, extracting, summarizing, or reviewing. This includes any mention of "what we discussed", "today's work", "session history", or when user treats the conversation itself as source material (e.g., "from our conversation").
