Command Template
/learn — Extract Reusable Patterns
Analyze the current session and save any patterns worth reusing as skill files.
What qualifies
Extract only if the pattern is:
- Non-obvious — not just fixing a typo or standard syntax
- Reusable — applicable beyond this specific session
- Generalizable — worth activating in a future session
Good candidates:
- Error resolution patterns (root cause + fix + when it recurs)
- Non-obvious debugging techniques or tool combinations
- Library/API quirks or version-specific workarounds
- Project-specific conventions discovered during investigation
Do not extract:
- One-time issues (API outages, transient failures)
- Trivial fixes (missing semicolons, import order)
- Patterns already covered by existing skills
Process
- Review the session for extractable patterns
- Pick the single most valuable insight (one skill per run)
- Draft the skill file using the format below
- Show the draft and ask for confirmation before saving
- Save to
.Codex/skills/learned/{pattern-name}.md
Skill file format
Use SKILL.md format so the skill is discoverable by the skills system:
---
name: {pattern-name}
description: >
{One-line trigger description — when should this activate?
Be specific enough that Codex will recognize the situation.}
type: learned
extracted: {YYYY-MM-DD}
---
## Problem
{What goes wrong — be specific about symptoms}
## Root Cause
{Why it happens}
## Solution
{The fix or technique}
## Example
{Code or command example if applicable}
## When to apply
{Trigger conditions — what situation activates this pattern}
Save to .Codex/skills/learned/{pattern-name}/SKILL.md so the skills index picks it up.
