How does the skill handle outdated documentation?

Every learning file includes a 'last_verified' date. If the information is older than 90 days, Claude treats it as stale and will offer to re-verify or update the content.

Can I manually edit the research files?

Absolutely. Since the files are standard Markdown, you can manually refine, add notes, or correct examples in any text editor.

Does it support private repository research?

Yes, if the GitHub MCP tool is configured, the skill can use 'gh_grep' to research real-world usage patterns within your own codebases.

Where does the Learn skill store information?

It saves structured Markdown files to the ~/.claude/learnings/ directory on your local machine, ensuring your data remains private and accessible.

How do I access saved knowledge in a future session?

You can use the /recall command, or Claude can proactively read files in the learnings directory when it identifies a topic you have previously researched.

Learning & Documentation

Researches complex topics and builds a structured, long-term memory for Claude to recall in future coding sessions.

The Learn skill transforms Claude into a more capable long-term assistant by enabling it to perform deep research on libraries, patterns, and tools, then store that information in a structured Markdown format. By maintaining a local repository of knowledge at ~/.claude/learnings/, Claude can bypass repeated research tasks, recall specific implementation patterns across different sessions, and automatically keep documentation up-to-date as it encounters new information during development. It leverages web search, GitHub patterns, and library-specific documentation to ensure that even the most niche technical knowledge is available instantly without re-querying the web.
