Transform learning content (like YouTube transcripts, articles, tutorials) into actionable implementation plans using the Ship-Learn-Next framework. Use when user wants to turn advice, lessons, or educational content into concrete action steps, reps, or a learning quest.

This skill helps transform passive learning content into actionable Ship-Learn-Next cycles - turning advice and lessons into concrete, shippable iterations.
Activate when the user:
Every learning quest follows three repeating phases:
Key principle: 100 reps beats 100 hours of study. Learning = doing better, not knowing more.
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.
Identify from the content:
Do NOT:
Help the user frame their learning goal:
Ask:
Example good quest: "Ship 10 cold outreach messages and get 2 responses" Example bad quest: "Learn about sales" (too vague)
Break down the quest into the smallest shippable version:
Ask:
Make it:
Structure each rep with:
## Rep 1: [Specific Goal]
**Ship Goal**: [What you'll create/do]
**Success Criteria**: [How you'll know it's done]
**What You'll Learn**: [Specific skills/insights]
**Resources Needed**: [Minimal - just what's needed for THIS rep]
**Timeline**: [Specific deadline]
**Action Steps**:
1. [Concrete step 1]
2. [Concrete step 2]
3. [Concrete step 3]
...
**After Shipping - Reflection Questions**:
- What actually happened? (Be specific)
- What worked? What didn't?
- What surprised you?
- On a scale of 1-10, how did this rep go?
- What would you do differently next time?
Based on the content, suggest a progression:
## Rep 2: [Next level]
**Builds on**: What you learned in Rep 1
**New challenge**: One new thing to try/improve
**Expected difficulty**: [Easier/Same/Harder - and why]
## Rep 3: [Continue progression]
...
Progression principles:
For each rep, reference the source material:
But: Always emphasize DOING over studying. Point to resources only when needed for the specific rep.
Direct but supportive:
Question-driven:
Specific, not generic:
Action-oriented:
# Your Ship-Learn-Next Quest: [Title]
## Quest Overview
**Goal**: [What they want to achieve in 4-8 weeks]
**Source**: [The content that inspired this]
**Core Lessons**: [3-5 key actionable takeaways from content]
---
## Rep 1: [Specific, Shippable Goal]
**Ship Goal**: [Concrete deliverable]
**Timeline**: [This week / By [date]]
**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] [Specific thing 1]
- [ ] [Specific thing 2]
- [ ] [Specific thing 3]
**What You'll Practice** (from the content):
- [Skill/concept 1 from source material]
- [Skill/concept 2 from source material]
**Action Steps**:
1. [Concrete step]
2. [Concrete step]
3. [Concrete step]
4. Ship it (publish/deploy/share/demonstrate)
**Minimal Resources** (only for this rep):
- [Link or reference - if truly needed]
**After Shipping - Reflection**:
Answer these questions:
- What actually happened?
- What worked? What didn't?
- What surprised you?
- Rate this rep: _/10
- What's one thing to try differently next time?

## Rep 2: [Next Iteration]
**Builds on**: Rep 1 + [what you learned]
**New element**: [One new challenge/skill]
**Ship goal**: [Next concrete deliverable]
[Similar structure...]

## Rep 3-5: Future Path
**Rep 3**: [Brief description]
**Rep 4**: [Brief description]
**Rep 5**: [Brief description]
*(Details will evolve based on what you learn in Reps 1-2)*

## Remember
- This is about DOING, not studying
- Aim for 100 reps over time (not perfection on rep 1)
- Each rep = Plan → Do → Reflect → Next
- You learn by shipping, not by consuming

A good Ship-Learn-Next plan has:
IMPORTANT: Always save the plan to a file for the user.
Always use the format:
Ship-Learn-Next Plan - [Brief Quest Title].mdExamples:
Ship-Learn-Next Plan - Build in Proven Markets.mdShip-Learn-Next Plan - Learn React.mdShip-Learn-Next Plan - Cold Email Outreach.mdQuest title should be:
Complete plan including:
Format: Always save as Markdown (.md) for readability
Display to user:
Then ask:
Remember: You're not creating a curriculum. You're helping them ship something real, learn from it, and ship the next thing.
Let's help them ship.
