Learn On

Enable learning mode. This sets a flag to remind you to run /learn before ending your session.

What This Does

Activates learning mode where:

  • A flag is set to indicate learning is active
  • /knowledge will show a reminder to run /learn before ending
  • Manual /learn is still required for extraction (v0.1.0)

This is useful for marking sessions where you want to capture insights, serving as a visual reminder to extract knowledge before ending.

Instructions

  1. Read knowledge/state.json
  2. Update the state:
    {
      "learning_mode": true,
      "learning_mode_since": "[current ISO timestamp]"
    }
    
  3. Write updated state back to knowledge/state.json
  4. Confirm to user

Output Format

Learning Mode: ENABLED
------------------------
Learning mode is now active.

IMPORTANT: Remember to run /learn before ending your session!

Insights will be saved to:
  - knowledge/learnings/patterns.md
  - knowledge/learnings/quirks.md
  - knowledge/learnings/decisions.md

Use /learn-off to disable, or /learn for manual extraction.

Notes

  • Learning mode persists across the session but resets on new sessions
  • You must still run /learn manually to extract insights (v0.1.0)
  • Use /knowledge to see current learning status and the reminder
  • Future versions may add automatic extraction triggers
