npx skills add lyndonkl/claude --skill memory-retrieval-learning
Creates evidence-based learning plans that maximize long-term retention through spaced repetition, retrieval practice, interleaving, and elaboration. Guides through goal definition, material breakdown, review scheduling, and progress tracking. Use when long-term knowledge retention is needed, studying for exams or certifications, learning new job skills or technology, mastering substantial material, combating forgetting, or when user mentions studying, memorizing, learning plans, spaced repetition, flashcards, active recall, or durable learning.

Copy this checklist and track your progress:
Step 1: Define learning goals and timeline
Clarify what needs to be learned, by when, and how much time is available daily. Identify success criteria (pass exam, demonstrate skill, etc). Use resources/template.md to structure your plan.
Step 2: Break down material and create schedule
Chunk material into learnable units. Calculate spaced repetition schedule based on timeline. Plan initial learning + review cycles. For complex schedules or long timelines (6+ months), see resources/methodology.md for advanced scheduling techniques.
Step 3: Design retrieval practice methods
Create active recall mechanisms: flashcards, practice problems, mock tests, self-quizzing. Avoid passive techniques (highlighting, re-reading). See Common Patterns for domain-specific approaches.
Step 4: Execute daily learning sessions
Follow the schedule: new material in morning (peak alertness), reviews in afternoon/evening. Use retrieval practice consistently. Log what's difficult for extra review. For advanced techniques like interleaving or desirable difficulties, see resources/methodology.md.
Step 5: Track progress and adjust
Measure retention with self-tests. Adjust review frequency based on performance (struggle more = review sooner). Update schedule as needed. Validate using resources/evaluators/rubric_memory_retrieval_learning.json.
