The ship-learn-next skill transforms passive learning content—such as transcripts, articles, and tutorials—into actionable implementation plans by breaking them into concrete Ship-Learn-Next cycles (ship something real, learn from it, iterate). It's designed for learners and practitioners who want to convert educational material into small, shippable iterations and practical reps rather than abstract study. The skill solves the common problem of consuming lots of content without taking action by helping users extract core lessons, define specific learning quests, and design their first week's concrete deliverable.

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.
