What is it?
Learning Opportunities is a skill for Claude Code and Codex that adds deliberate learning to AI-assisted coding. After significant work such as new files, schema changes, or refactors, Claude offers an optional 10-15 minute exercise drawn from your own project code.
The exercises use techniques from learning science, including prediction, generation, retrieval practice, and spaced repetition. Claude waits for your answer instead of supplying the full solution, so you do the reasoning yourself. Sessions are capped at two exercises, and no prompts appear after you decline one.
The repository is also a plugin marketplace that includes an optional post-commit prompting hook for Linux and macOS, and an orient skill that generates orientation lessons for an unfamiliar codebase.
Key features
- 01Offers optional 10-15 minute exercises after architectural coding work.
- 02Uses prediction, generation, retrieval practice, and spaced repetition.
- 03Pauses for your input rather than answering its own questions.
- 04Caps sessions at two exercises and respects declined prompts.
- 05Includes an orient skill that builds orientation lessons for a new repo.
Use cases
- Developers building projects with unfamiliar languages or patterns through AI coding agents.
- Engineers who want to keep understanding their codebase while using agentic coding tools.
- Teams running a structured experiment on learning during AI-assisted development.
- Developers onboarding to an unfamiliar repository who want guided orientation lessons.
