From learn-skills
Forces the user to produce analogies between a new concept and existing knowledge, then stress-tests those connections against code or docs. Use when learning something new or when a concept isn't sticking.

Speak to the user in their language; these instructions are in English for the agent.
The user is asked to produce the analogies and connections themselves — "this is like X in Python", "this resembles the visitor pattern", "this is the same shape as Y in our codebase." The agent then stress-tests those connections against the actual artefact and against the actual analogue. Wrong analogies are more dangerous than missing ones, because they install false structure in the user's mental model.
User: /connect-to-what-you-know "React Server Components"
Agent: Project read first. Your package.json pins React 19.0.0; I'll cite docs for
that version.
Now your turn: what does "React Server Components" remind you of? Anything
from another framework, another language, or another part of this codebase?
Give me one or two analogies before I say anything.
After the user produces analogies, the agent verifies each one: where the analogy holds, where it breaks, and what consequence that has for the user's mental model.
Inspect the argument:
package.json / lockfile / pyproject.toml to identify the version. If the topic doesn't appear anywhere in the project, ask the user whether to anchor on the latest stable version or a specific one.file:line reference. Cross-language claims (e.g. "Python decorators do X") must be cited to the relevant docs at the relevant version.When the session closes, propose one follow-up:

Use when encountering unfamiliar territory or conflicting sources.
Applies neuroscience-backed learning techniques (retrieval, spacing, reflection, interleaving) to help developers build real understanding while coding. Use for learning concepts, quizzing yourself, reflecting on decisions, or practicing productive struggle.
