learnmax

Research sources. Build lessons. Check what stuck — in one loop.

/learn "memory layout"    → research sources, build lessons
/quiz  "memory layout"    → self-check
/test  "memory layout"    → spaced review, scores, feeds weak spots back

/learn builds everything in one call. /quiz and /test run separately, whenever you want to check yourself.

Install

pi install npm:@xaccefy/learnmax

Then from any directory you want to use as a learning workspace:

/learn "memory layout"
/quiz  "memory layout"
/test  "memory layout"

How it works

Three commands, one loop:

Command	What it does
/learn	Researches validated sources, builds Markdown lessons, glossary, and literature review under <topic>/. Picks up the weak-item backlog first if it exists.
/quiz	Self-check over lessons and glossary. Immediate feedback, writes nothing.
/test	Spaced retrieval review. Scores known / shaky / unknown, writes relearn/, and rewrites the weak-item backlog.

The weak-item loop

/test rewrites relearn/weak-items.md every run. Items that stay weak reset their streak. Items you recall move through 1/3/7-day spacing intervals. Recalled three times in a row = retired.

Next /learn grabs the backlog first — weak spots drive new lessons automatically, and mastered items leave the loop instead of being re-taught forever.

Workspace layout

Workspace root:

TOPICS.md                       # registry of which topics exist
relearn/                        # /test output (gitignored)
  <date>.md                     # recall scores from /test
  weak-items.md                 # backlog — /learn reads this first

<topic>/                        # one directory per topic
  MISSION.md                    # why you're learning this
  GLOSSARY.md                   # canonical terms, linked to their lesson
  literature/                   # source maps — consensus, tensions, gaps
  lessons/
    NNNN-slug.md                # one lesson per file, Obsidian-ready

Commit everything under <topic>/. relearn/ is temporary — /learn ignores it.

Format specs

All artifact formats are defined in skills/learn/FORMATS.md.

Validation

After building, /learn runs learnmax-validate — checks every topic dir against the format specs and fails on format drift. Run it manually with:

node <pkg>/scripts/validate-artifacts.mjs
