Learning

Learn a topic by shipping a tiny version, turn notes into review cards, and fill the tutorial gap.

A tutorial that you cannot finish is not a course, and a highlighter is not memory. This shelf is for people learning in public or in a repo: a concept they need this week, notes they will forget by Friday, and a guide that skipped the step where they got stuck. The agents assume you want to do the thing, not collect another outline.

Explain Like I'm Shipping makes the model teach a concept as the smallest version you could put in a project, then quiz the gap between the explanation and the build. The card maker turns notes into cloze prompts and a seven-day schedule you can paste into any review app. The gap finder reads the tutorial's outline and the step where you stopped, and it writes the missing lesson instead of repeating the steps you already did.

The agents may use small examples. They may not pretend you already know the prerequisite, and they may not dump a full curriculum. If your notes are too thin to support a card, the agent asks for the sentence you are trying to remember rather than inventing a fact.

Questions about Learning

Do the flash cards sync to Anki or RemNote?

They are plain text you can import or retype. The prompt does not log into a study app. A simple question-and-answer block is the whole output.

Can I use this to skip a course I paid for?

Use it to study material you have the right to use. Paste your notes or a public outline. Do not paste a paywalled book.

What if I am learning to code with an AI?

Start with Explain Like I'm Shipping. It forces a tiny version you can run, which is the same habit as the coding shelf, aimed at understanding rather than review.
