# Ship-Learn-Next Action Planner This skill helps transform passive learning content into actionable Ship-Learn-Next cycles - turning advice and lessons into concrete, shippable iterations. ## When to Use This Skill Activate when the user: - Has a transcript/article/tutorial and wants to "implement the advice" - Asks to "turn this into a plan" or "make this actionable" - Wants to extract implementation steps from educational content - Needs help breaking down big ideas into small, shippable reps - Says things like "I watched/read X, now what should I do?" ## Core Framework: Ship-Learn-Next Every learning quest follows three repeating phases: - SHIP - Create something real (code, content, product, demonstration) - LEARN - Honest reflection on what happened - NEXT - Plan the next iteration based on learnings Key principle: 100 reps beats 100 hours of study. Learning = doing better, not knowing more. ## How This Skill Works ### Step 1: Read the Content Read the file the user provides (transcript, article, notes): ### Step 2: Extract Core Lessons Identify from the content: - Main advice/lessons: What are the key takeaways? - Actionable principles: What can actually be practiced? - Skills being taught: What would someone learn by doing this? - Examples/case studies: Real implementations mentioned ### Step 3: Define the Quest Help the user frame their learning goal: - "Based on this content, what do you want to achieve in 4-8 weeks?" - "What would success look like? (Be specific)" - "What's something concrete you could build/create/ship?" ### Step 4: Design Rep 1 (The First Iteration) Break down the quest into the smallest shippable version: - "What's the smallest version you could ship THIS WEEK?" - "What do you need to learn JUST to do that?" (not everything) - "What would 'done' look like for rep 1?" ### Step 5: Create the Rep Plan Structure each rep with: - Ship Goal: What you'll create/do - Success Criteria: How you'll know it's done - What You'll Learn: Specific skills/insights - Resources Needed: Minimal - just what's needed for THIS rep - Timeline: Specific deadline - Action Steps: Concrete steps to complete - After Shipping - Reflection Questions ### Step 6: Map Future Reps (2-5) Based on the content, suggest a progression: - Each rep adds ONE new element - Increase difficulty based on success - Reference specific lessons from the content - Keep reps shippable (not theoretical) ### Step 7: Connect to Content For each rep, reference the source material: - "This implements the [concept] from minute X" - "You're practicing the [technique] mentioned in the video" - "This tests the advice about [topic]" ## Conversation Style Direct but supportive: - No fluff, but encouraging - "Ship it, then we'll improve it" - "What's the smallest version you could do this week?" Question-driven: - Make them think, don't just tell - "What exactly do you want to achieve?" not "Here's what you should do" Specific, not generic: - "By Friday, ship one landing page" not "Learn web development" - Push for concrete commitments Action-oriented: - Always end with "what's next?" - Focus on the next rep, not the whole journey ## What NOT to Do - ❌ Don't create a study plan (create a SHIP plan) - ❌ Don't list all resources to read/watch (pick minimal resources for current rep) - ❌ Don't make perfect the enemy of shipped - ❌ Don't let them plan forever without starting - ❌ Don't accept vague goals ("learn X" → "ship Y by Z date") - ❌ Don't overwhelm with the full journey (focus on rep 1) ## Key Phrases to Use - "What's the smallest version you could ship this week?" - "What do you need to learn JUST to do that?" - "This isn't about perfection - it's rep 1 of 100" - "Ship something real, then we'll improve it" - "Based on [content], what would you actually DO differently?" - "Learning = doing better, not knowing more" ## Example Output Structure # Your Ship-Learn-Next Quest: [Title] ## Quest Overview **Goal**: [What they want to achieve in 4-8 weeks] **Source**: [The content that inspired this] **Core Lessons**: [3-5 key actionable takeaways from content] --- ## Rep 1: [Specific, Shippable Goal] **Ship Goal**: [Concrete deliverable] **Timeline**: [This week / By [date]] **Success Criteria**: - [ ] [Specific thing 1] - [ ] [Specific thing 2] - [ ] [Specific thing 3] **What You'll Practice** (from the content): - [Skill/concept 1 from source material] - [Skill/concept 2 from source material] **Action Steps**: 1. [Concrete step] 2. [Concrete step] 3. [Concrete step] 4. Ship it (publish/deploy/share/demonstrate) **Minimal Resources** (only for this rep): - [Link or reference - if truly needed] **After Shipping - Reflection**: Answer these questions: - What actually happened? - What worked? What didn't? - What surprised you? - Rate this rep: _/10 - What's one thing to try differently next time? --- ## Rep 2: [Next Iteration] **Builds on**: Rep 1 + [what you learned] **New element**: [One new challenge/skill] **Ship goal**: [Next concrete deliverable] [Similar structure...] --- ## Rep 3-5: Future Path **Rep 3**: [Brief description] **Rep 4**: [Brief description] **Rep 5**: [Brief description] *(Details will evolve based on what you learn in Reps 1-2)* --- ## Remember - This is about DOING, not studying - Aim for 100 reps over time (not perfection on rep 1) - Each rep = Plan → Do → Reflect → Next - You learn by shipping, not by consuming **Ready to ship Rep 1?** ## Processing Different Content Types ### YouTube Transcripts - Focus on advice, not stories - Extract concrete techniques mentioned - Identify case studies/examples to replicate - Note timestamps for reference later (but don't require watching again) ### Articles/Tutorials - Identify the "now do this" parts vs theory - Extract the specific workflow/process - Find the minimal example to start with ### Course Notes - What's the smallest project from the course? - Which modules are needed for rep 1? (ignore the rest for now) - What can be practiced immediately? ## Success Metrics A good Ship-Learn-Next plan has: - ✅ Specific, shippable rep 1 (completable in 1-7 days) - ✅ Clear success criteria (user knows when they're done) - ✅ Concrete artifacts (something real to show) - ✅ Direct connection to source content - ✅ Progression path for reps 2-5 - ✅ Emphasis on action over consumption - ✅ Honest reflection built in - ✅ Small enough to start today, big enough to learn ## Saving the Plan IMPORTANT: Always save the plan to a file for the user. ### Filename Convention Always use the format: - Ship-Learn-Next Plan - [Brief Quest Title].md Examples: - Ship-Learn-Next Plan - Build in Proven Markets.md - Ship-Learn-Next Plan - Learn React.md - Ship-Learn-Next Plan - Cold Email Outreach.md ### What to Save Complete plan including: - Quest overview with goal and source - All reps (1-5) with full details - Action steps and reflection questions - Timeline commitments - Reference to source material Format: Always save as Markdown (.md) for readability ## After Creating the Plan Display to user: - Show them you've saved the plan: "✓ Saved to: [filename]" - Give a brief overview of the quest - Highlight Rep 1 (what's due this week) Then ask: - "When will you ship Rep 1?" - "What's the one thing that might stop you? How will you handle it?" - "Come back after you ship and we'll reflect + plan Rep 2"
