name: learning-path description: | Assess Claude Code knowledge and route to appropriate learning level. Use when: user wants to learn Claude Code, asks for guidance, or says "teach me". Triggers: "learn Claude Code", "teach me", "I'm new", "where do I start", "beginner".

Learning Path Assessment

Determine user's Claude Code proficiency and guide them to the right level.

Assessment Flow

Step 1: Opening Question

Ask ONE question to gauge starting point:

Copy"Have you used Claude Code before?"

A) Never — just installed it
B) A little — basic chat and file reading
C) Regularly — comfortable with tools and commands
D) Power user — I've built custom skills/agents

Step 2: Branch by Answer

If A (Never): → Route to foundations

• Skip further assessment
• Start with absolute basics

If B (A little): Ask follow-up:

Copy"Which of these have you done?"

A) Asked Claude to edit files
B) Used slash commands like /help
C) Both A and B
D) Neither — just chatted

• If D → foundations
• Otherwise → intermediate

If C (Regularly): Ask follow-up:

Copy"Which of these have you set up?"

A) Custom slash commands
B) MCP servers
C) Hooks (pre/post commit, etc.)
D) None of these yet

• If D → intermediate
• Otherwise → advanced

If D (Power user): Verify with:

Copy"What's your goal today?"

A) Learn something specific I haven't tried
B) Fill gaps in my knowledge
C) Just exploring what's new

→ Route to advanced with specific focus

Level Descriptions

After Routing

Once level is determined:

1. Explain what they'll learn at this level
2. Offer first topic or let them choose
3. Mention they can switch levels anytime with /cc:level

Progress Tracking

Track in conversation context:

• Current level
• Completed topics (checklist style)
• Areas of interest

On return visits, ask:

Copy"Welcome back! Last time we covered [X].
Want to continue, or explore something else?"

Key Principles

Transition Between Levels

User can move up or down:

• /cc:level foundations — go back to basics
• /cc:level intermediate — jump to middle
• /cc:level advanced — skip ahead

When user completes a level's core topics:

Copy"You've covered the foundations! Ready to move to intermediate?
We'll explore [preview of next level topics]."

Integration

After assessment, invoke appropriate skill:

• foundations skill for Level 1
• intermediate skill for Level 2
• advanced skill for Level 3

Each level skill has its own curriculum and reference docs.
