---name: self-learningdescription: "Autonomous skill generator that learns new technologies from the web. Use when, users want to learn about a new library/framework/tool, need to create a skill for an unfamiliar technology, want to research and document a technology's usage patterns, or invoke with `/learn <topic>`. This skill uses web search and browser tools to discover, extract, and synthesize documentation into a reusable skill."--- # Self-Learning Skill Generator Autonomously research and learn new technologies from the web, then generate a reusable skill. ## Usage ```/learn <topic>``` If `<topic>` is missing, show usage. If topic is ambiguous, ask to clarify: - "react" → "React for web, React Native, or a specific library like react-query?"- "apollo" → "Apollo GraphQL client, Apollo Server, or Apollo Federation?"- "aws" → "Which AWS service? (S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, etc.)" Normalize to **kebab-case** for filenames. ### 2. Discover Sources (Web Search) Use web search tool to find authoritative documentation: **Search queries to try:**1. `<topic> official documentation`2. `<topic> getting started guide`3. `<topic> API reference`4. `<topic> GitHub repository` **Source prioritization:**1. Official docs sites (e.g., docs.*, *.dev)2. Official GitHub repositories (README, /docs)3. Official blogs/announcements Select **3–5 high-quality URLs** maximum. If no credible sources found, ask user to provide a URL. --- ### 3. Extract Content (URL Reading) For each selected URL, read the content: **Extract only relevant sections:**- Installation / setup- Core concepts- API reference / key functions- Common patterns / examples- Version information **Skip irrelevant content:**- Navigation, ads, login prompts- Unrelated sidebar content- Comments, forums If reading the content fails (JavaScript-heavy sites), fall back to browser agent: ```Task: Navigate to <URL> and extract the main content including:- Installation instructions- Core concepts and API reference- Code examplesReturn the extracted content as markdown.``` Record scrape timestamp for each source (use current date: YYYY-MM-DD format). --- ### 4. Generate Skill Skills are modular, self-contained packages. Every skill consists of a required `SKILL.md` file and optional bundled resources: ```skill-name/├── SKILL.md (required)│   ├── YAML frontmatter metadata (required)│   │   ├── name: (required)│   │   └── description: (required)│   └── Markdown instructions (required)└── Bundled Resources (optional)    ├── scripts/          - Executable code (Python/Bash/etc.)    ├── references/       - Documentation intended to be loaded into context as needed    └── assets/           - Files used in output (templates, icons, fonts, etc.)``` 1. Read `references/skill_creation_guide.md` to understand the format and principles.2. Synthesize the learned and extracted information into a new skill.    - **Trigger:** Write a description that clearly defines when to use it.    - **Workflow:** Create step-by-step instructions.    - **Format:** Ensure valid YAML frontmatter and proper file structure. ### 5. Save the Skill Antigravity supports two types of skills, save a global-workspace if asked.  - `.agent/skills/<skill-folder>/`	Workspace-specific- `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/<skill-folder>/`	Global (all workspaces) Create directory if it doesn't exist, warn user before overwriting existing skill. --- ### 6. Confirm to User Report:```✓ Created skill: <topic>  Sources scraped: <N>  Saved to: .agent/skills/<topic>/SKILL.md  This skill will auto-trigger when working with <topic>.``` --- ## Tool Reference - `search_web`: Discover documentation URLs- `read_url_content`: Extract content from static pages- `browser_subagent`: Extract content from JavaScript-heavy sites- `write_to_file`: Save the generated skill ## Critical Rules 1. **Never hallucinate documentation:** Only include information from scraped sources.2. **Never invent APIs:** If documentation is unclear, ask the user what to do.3. **Ask for URLs:** If automated discovery fails, ask user for specific URLs.4. **Verify sources:** Prefer official sources over third-party tutorials.
