Resources — Curated Learning Materials

ALWAYS use the AskUserQuestion tool when asking the user questions, in any context. If you have too many questions for the tool, split them up into multiple calls.

Overview

Provide curated external resources for a topic, either from an existing learning plan or via fresh web research. Group by type, note free vs paid, and organize by module when a plan exists.

Data Schemas

The resources skill reads data written by the learn skill. Here are the formats:

index.json (~/.claude/learning/index.json) — look up topics[slug].planFile to find the plan path.

Plan files (~/.claude/learning/plans/<slug>-<date>.json) — contain modules[], each with resources[] where each resource has title, url, type (docs|video|tutorial|book|course), and free (boolean).

Process

Step 1: Check for Existing Plan

Read ~/.claude/learning/index.json and look for the requested topic.

If a plan exists:

• Read the plan JSON from ~/.claude/learning/plans/[file]
• Extract all resources organized by module
• Present them grouped by type within each module

If no plan exists:

• Perform fresh web research (3-5 searches, same as the learn skill's research phase)
• Curate and present results

Step 2: Present Resources

With existing plan — organize by module:

── Resources: [Topic] ────────────────────────────

### Module 1: [Title]

📖 Documentation
  • [Title] — [url]
    [one-line description if helpful]

🎥 Videos & Courses
  • [Title] — [url] (free|$paid)

📝 Tutorials
  • [Title] — [url]

📚 Books
  • [Title] — [author] (free|$paid)

### Module 2: [Title]
...
──────────────────────────────────────────────────

Without plan — organize by type:

── Resources: [Topic] ────────────────────────────

📖 Official Documentation
  • ...

🎥 Video Courses
  • ...

📝 Tutorials & Articles

💡 Tip: Use /learn [topic] to create a structured learning
   plan that organizes these resources into modules.

Resource Quality Rules

• Prefer official documentation and well-known sources
• Always note free vs paid
• Include a mix of formats (not all videos, not all text)
• For subtopic-specific requests, focus resources narrowly
• If resources from the plan are stale or broken, supplement with fresh search
