Fast post-deliverable learning capture. Use when Ane types "/learned", or says "capture what I learned", "log a learning", "what did I learn from this", or wants a quick 4-line note after finishing a piece of work. Appends a dated entry to the running learning log in the Obsidian vault. The explicit-command sibling of journal-reflection's Post-deliverable capture mode; for end-of-day, weekly, decision-review, or new-framework reflection, use journal-reflection instead.

AI-generated overview

Captures a short four-question learning note after finishing a deliverable and appends it to an Obsidian learning log.

What it does
Runs a brief post-deliverable reflection loop by asking four one-line questions about what the work taught, what to do differently, what to carry forward, and what worked. It appends a dated section with the four answers to a single running learning log file in an Obsidian vault, creating the file with frontmatter if it does not exist. If the vault path is unreachable, it returns the markdown in the reply and names the target path. It may also offer to bank a repeatable system behaviour as a feedback memory.
When to use it
Use after finishing a substantive piece of work when you want to record the lesson quickly. It is the explicit-command trigger for the post-deliverable capture mode; fuller end-of-day, weekly, decision-review, or new-framework reflection belongs to the journal-reflection skill instead.
Requirements
An Obsidian vault at the configured path (OBSIDIAN_VAULT_ROOT) for file writes; otherwise the note is returned as markdown. No scripts, packages, or credentials are included.

/learned — post-deliverable learning capture

A 30-second human-learning loop: capture what a finished piece of work taught you, before it evaporates. This is the explicit-command entry point to the Post-deliverable capture mode defined in the journal-reflection skill — that skill holds the canonical procedure; this one is the fast /learned trigger. Origin: video-insights improvement #14.

When to use

After finishing any substantive deliverable, when you want to bank the lesson. For a fuller reflection (end-of-day, end-of-week, a past decision, or a new framework), use journal-reflection instead — those are its other four modes.

/ wrap-up already offers this at session end; /learned is for any other moment.

What to do

Ask these four, one at a time. Keep each answer to one line. Do not auto-answer; Ane's words go in verbatim.

  1. What did this deliverable teach you about the work?
  2. What would you do differently next time?
  3. One thing to carry forward.
  4. What worked that you want repeated? (success extraction)

If Ane does not name the deliverable, ask for a 2–4 word label.

Success routing. If answer 4 names a repeatable system behaviour (a prompt pattern, a workflow, a specialist or model choice), offer to also bank it as a feedback memory with Why: and How to apply: lines — one yes/no, no push. This gives /improve-system confirmed successes to trend, not only corrections. The vault entry records all four answers either way.

File placement

Append to the single running log 5 JURNAL/Learning/deliverable-learning-log.md in the Obsidian vault (OBSIDIAN_VAULT_ROOT = C:/Users/AGasser/OneDrive/Ane Obsidian Vault), exactly as the journal-reflection Post-deliverable capture mode specifies:

  • If the file does not exist, create it with YAML frontmatter (type: learning-log) and an H1, then add the first entry.
  • If it exists, append a new ## YYYY-MM-DD — <deliverable label> section with the four answers as bullets, preserving all prior entries byte-identical (edit-preservation; apply mel_wiki/wiki/concepts/edit-preservation-protocol.md).

Local-only: if the vault path is not reachable (web session, other device), return the markdown in the reply and name the target path so Ane can save it manually.

Limitations

Do not invent reflections. Do not lecture. One capture per invocation. This skill does not replace journal-reflection — it is the quick post-deliverable slice of it.
