What learn does

Turn a source — a directory, a URL, pasted notes, or the work just done in this conversation — into a clean, reusable NanoClaw skill. The output is a new `.claude/skills//SKILL.md` (plus optional `scripts/`, `references/`, `templates/`) authored to the project's skill guidelines.

Installation

Add learn to your agent with:

git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw ~/.claude/skills/learn

Frequently asked questions

What does learn do?
Distill a reusable skill from anything — a directory, a URL, pasted notes, or what you just did together — or refine an existing skill with new learnings. Use when the user says '/learn', 'learn this', 'turn this into a skill', 'capture this workflow', 'make a skill from <source>', or 'improve/update the <name> skill'. Produces or updates a .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md authored to NanoClaw's skill guidelines. (This CREATES or REFINES a skill from a source; it does not install existing skills from a registry.)
How do I install learn?
Run git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw ~/.claude/skills/learn in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw before installing.
Is learn free to use?
Yes. learn is free and open source under the MIT license, so you can read, run, and adapt it within that license's terms.
Where does learn come from?
learn ships inside nanocoai/nanoclaw, a repository that contains 41 catalogued skills in total. The repository's 30,542 GitHub stars apply to that whole collection, not to this skill on its own.
