Share your last learner profile and notes from the current session. It checks what is still current, records what you showed and updates open gaps. You get a compact profile and a handoff that says where to resume.

It checks what is still current, records what you showed and updates open gaps. You get a compact profile and a handoff that says where to resume. ## What you give it - Your previous learner profile, if one exists. In your first session, just say none. - A plain note of the learner's goal, if there is no profile yet. - Topics covered, answers checked and current learning goal. ## What you get - An updated learner profile. - A record of covered topics and open gaps. - A short handoff for the next session. ## Example: what goes in and what comes out ### What goes in - Your last learner profile (or say there is none) - Notes or a transcript from this session - The learner's current goal - Answers the learner gave, right or wrong (optional) ### Before you start - A place to save the profile between sessions, such as a notes file or document ### What comes out - **Restored profile summary**: A short recap of the saved profile, with a prompt to confirm it is still true. - **Concepts covered with outcomes**: Each topic from the session, with what the learner showed and how sure they seem. - **Weak areas**: New and resolved gaps, kept to the five that matter most right now. - **Updated learner profile**: Level, goal, learning style, covered topics, open gaps, current checkpoint and session count. - **Handoff note**: Where to resume, what to skip, and the top one or two priorities for next time. ## Skip it when - You only want a one-off summary of today's session: ask your AI for a plain session summary instead. - You have no place to keep the profile between sessions: save the handoff note in a notes app or document yourself, or use a plain summary prompt and start fresh each time. - You want to find a new learner's starting level: use the Learning level checker. The skill also hands weak areas to the Study gap tracker, but works without it. ## How to use it 1. Open your AI tool and paste the skill text into a new chat. No code or paid tool is needed. 2. At the start of a session, paste your last learner profile. If you have none, say so. 3. Check the recap it gives you and fix anything that is out of date. 4. At the end of the session, paste your notes or the transcript and the learner's goal. 5. Read the updated profile and handoff note. Save both somewhere you can find them. 6. Paste the saved profile at the start of your next session. ## What to do next - [Study gap tracker](https://useaiblocks.com/skills/study-gap-tracker): Study gap tracker - [Overloaded lesson checker](https://useaiblocks.com/skills/overloaded-lesson-checker): Overloaded lesson checker ## Sources and credits - From edu-agent-skills contributors: https://github.com/yugash007/edu-agent-skills/tree/e75f44303570bb2eae37a8f7536c0358be2502ee/skills/memory/learning-memory, shared under the MIT licence (original name: learning-memory). - [learning-memory skill](https://github.com/yugash007/edu-agent-skills/tree/e75f44303570bb2eae37a8f7536c0358be2502ee/skills/memory/learning-memory), edu-agent-skills contributors: Copied under the MIT licence.

Learner references prior sessions or covered topics. Session ends and state should be preserved. Agent needs to personalize without re-asking onboarding questions. - **Skip if**: one-off session with no continuity desired, no persistent storage available, or narrow stateless task. - **Routing**: run at session start (restore) and end (save). Feed weak areas to `weak-area-tracker`. Profile drives `find-your-level` for returning learners with uncertain level. ## Inputs - Prior session summary/profile, current session transcript, concepts + outcomes, learner self-reports, error patterns from assessment skills. ## Profile Schema (compact) ```yaml learner_profile: level: beginner | intermediate | advanced stated_goal: "" learning_style: code-first | concept-first | mixed weak_areas: [{topic, type, last_seen, correction_attempted}] covered_topics: [{topic, confidence: low|medium|high, last_confirmed}] active_checkpoint: "" session_count: N last_session: "" ``` ## Workflow ### Before you start Use the material below to do this job. If facts or tool access are missing, explain what you can finish and what must wait. **What you need** (use your own material or the linked skill): - **A document** (yours): a finished document, such as a Word file, a PDF or a page of notes. **Makes it better (optional):** - **Your question** (yours): the decision or problem, and what a good outcome looks like. How to start: 1. **Look first.** Use what they've already attached, pasted or put in their about-me note. In a coding assistant with file access, look in the project too for these by name. 2. **Check what's missing.** Look for a document, your question. They can attach files, paste the details, or share a file path your assistant can read. Ask only for missing facts that change the result. If they ask you to start with what they have, complete the parts you can and mark the gaps. 3. **Do the job.** Follow the skill below with the facts and tools you have. Mark each gap with `MISSING:` where it belongs and never invent a fact to fill it. ### Session Start (Restore) 1. **Retrieve** — Check for prior profile. If exists: summarize and confirm accuracy with learner. If none: run `find-your-level`. 2. **Staleness Check** — Last session 2+ weeks ago → flag for light review. Goal changed → update target. 3. **Inject** — Feed relevant profile data (level, weak areas, last checkpoint) into current session. Don't re-explain confirmed material unless requested. ### Session End (Save) 4. **Extract** — Record: concepts covered, understanding outcomes, new weak areas, self-reported confidence. 5. **Update** — Merge into profile. Promote "in-progress" → "covered" when confirmed. Add new weak areas. 6. **Handoff** — Output compact summary: where to resume, what to skip, top 1–2 priorities for next session. ## Rules - DO: confirm profile accuracy with learner at session start — never assume stale data is current. - DO: base profile updates on observable evidence, not assumptions. - DO: cap weak-area list at 5 active items. - DO: frame all profile data as "what we'll focus on" not "what went wrong." - DON'T: re-teach confirmed topics without request or regression evidence. - DON'T: skip the session-end save — always output the handoff note. - DON'T: treat "covered" as "fully mastered" — watch for regression signals. ## Output Session start: restored profile summary + confirmation prompt. Session end: concepts covered with outcomes, new/resolved weak areas, and handoff note (resume point + priorities + skip list). Write the handoff note as a short bulleted list with three parts: - Resume point: the last concept or milestone in progress. - Skip list: topics already confirmed, with the date. - Priorities: the top one or two things for next time. Keep the whole note under about 120 words. This skill mentions `find-your-level` and `weak-area-tracker`. In this catalogue they are the Learning level check and the Study gap tracker. If you do not have them, ask the learner two or three short questions to find their level, and keep the weak-area list in this profile. ## Checklist - [ ] Profile confirmed with learner at session start. - [ ] Staleness check performed if 2+ week gap. - [ ] Session outcomes logged with evidence. - [ ] Handoff note produced at session end. ### After this When you've handed it back, suggest what they could do next in one short question. It's a suggestion: if they're done, that's fine. Offer these, and say they can type their own: - The [Study gap tracker](https://useaiblocks.com/skills/study-gap-tracker). It takes the document. - The [Overloaded lesson checker](https://useaiblocks.com/skills/overloaded-lesson-checker). It takes the plan. If they pick one and that skill is added here, carry straight on with what you just made. If not, give the link and say what to bring.
