The Learning Path Creator skill helps you design structured, effective learning plans for acquiring new skills or deepening existing knowledge. Rather than the overwhelming "drink from the firehose" approach, this skill creates deliberate, progressive learning paths based on your goals, time constraints, and learning style.

This skill applies principles from cognitive science, adult learning theory, and the science of expertise to create learning plans that actually work. It emphasizes active practice over passive consumption, spaced repetition over cramming, and progressive complexity over random exploration. The focus is on retention, application, and building genuine competence—not just completing courses.

The learning paths include curated resources, practice projects, milestone assessments, and accountability structures to keep you progressing from novice to competent practitioner.

Workflow 1: Learning Path Design

Create comprehensive learning plan:

Goal Clarification: What do you want to be able to do?
Baseline Assessment: What do you already know?
Context Understanding: Why are you learning this? By when?
