# Learn The learning compounding skill. Most principals lose the value of a learning sweep within 48 hours — they read three repos, watch one talk, evaluate two tools, and a week later can't remember what they decided about any of them. `/learn` captures the structured outcome of every such sweep. ## When to use - The principal has just read a repo, paper, talk, or tool description - The principal is evaluating something but doesn't have an immediate need - The principal asks "should I be using X?" or "what did we decide about Y?" - After any session where the input was *learning*, not *doing* - Triggered by Caddy on prompts like: "/learn", "I just read", "evaluating", "looked into", "should I use", "what did we decide about", "captured this", "interesting tool", "considered tool" ## How to execute ### Step 1 — Take the input The principal provides: - **Subject:** the thing being evaluated (tool, technique, concept, repo, paper, idea) - **Source:** where it came from (URL, talk title, conversation, repo name) - **Snapshot:** 2-5 sentences on what the thing is and what it claims to do If any field is missing, ask one focused question to get it. ### Step 2 — Locate it on the modern AI stack Reference [[Modern AI Infrastructure Stack]]. Place the subject at the right layer: - Application - Persistence - Messaging - Isolation - Compute - Observability - Orchestration If it doesn't fit cleanly on the stack, it's either a doctrine concept (note that explicitly) or an arti...
