What it does

Deliberate Practice Plan is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design deliberate practice that actually builds a skill — targeted, effortful, feedback-driven — instead of mindless repetition that just entrenches your current level. Use when asked how do I practice X effectively, my practice isn't working, design a practice routine, or deliberate practice for. Produces a breakdown of the skill into trainable sub-skills, drills that target your specific weaknesses at the edge of your ability, a feedback mechanism, and a session structure — because time spent practicing is not…

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked how do I practice X effectively
  • My practice isnt working
  • Design a practice routine
  • Deliberate practice for

Example prompts

  • “/deliberate-practice-plan”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Decompose the skill. Break it into specific sub-skills you can train separately — general practice improves nothing in particular.
  2. Target the weakness, not the strength. Deliberate practice is uncomfortable because it drills what you're bad at, at the edge of your…
  3. Build in feedback. Every rep needs a way to know if it was right — otherwise you practice mistakes. Set up the feedback source.
  4. Keep it effortful and focused. Short, high-concentration sessions on the target sub-skill beat long autopilot ones. Full attention is the…
  5. Adjust from feedback. Correct after each rep/session — the loop is drill → feedback → adjust → drill.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Deliberate Practice Plan loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 505 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Design deliberate practice that actually builds a skill — targeted, effortful, feedback-driven — instead of mindless repetition that just entrenches your current level. Use when asked how do I practice X effectively, my practice isn't working, design a practice routine, or deliberate practice for. Produces a breakdown of the skill into trainable sub-skills, drills that target your specific weaknesses at the edge of your ability, a feedback mechanism, and a session structure — because time spent practicing is not the same as time spent improving.

Deliberate-Practice Plan

Ten thousand hours of doing something the same way makes you consistent, not better. Improvement comes from deliberate practice: breaking a skill into pieces, drilling your weakest at the edge of your ability, and getting feedback to correct. This designs that — turning aimless repetition (which entrenches your current level) into focused practice that actually moves the needle.

What This Skill Produces

  • The skill broken down — into specific trainable sub-skills (you can't practice "be better at X" — you practice its components)
  • Weakness-targeted drills — practice aimed at your specific weak sub-skills, at the edge of your current ability (not the fun, easy parts)
  • A feedback mechanism — how you'll know if you did it right (a coach, a recording, a measurable target) — practice without feedback doesn't improve
  • A session structure — a focused practice session (warm-up, targeted drill, feedback, adjust), kept short enough to stay effortful
  • Progress tracking — how to measure that the drilling is working

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The skill — what you want to get better at
  • Your weak spots — where you're weakest (or a request to help identify them)
  • How you practice now — to spot the mindless-repetition trap
  • Feedback available — coach, recording, metrics, or none yet
  • Time — how long/often you can practice

Framework: Break Down, Drill The Weak, Get Feedback

  1. Decompose the skill. Break it into specific sub-skills you can train separately — general practice improves nothing in particular.
  2. Target the weakness, not the strength. Deliberate practice is uncomfortable because it drills what you're bad at, at the edge of your ability — not the parts you enjoy.
  3. Build in feedback. Every rep needs a way to know if it was right — otherwise you practice mistakes. Set up the feedback source.
  4. Keep it effortful and focused. Short, high-concentration sessions on the target sub-skill beat long autopilot ones. Full attention is the point.
  5. Adjust from feedback. Correct after each rep/session — the loop is drill → feedback → adjust → drill.

Output Format

Deliberate practice: [skill]

Sub-skills: [broken into trainable components]. Drill your weakness: [the weak sub-skill] at [the edge of your ability] via [specific drill]. Feedback: [how you'll know if it's right — coach/recording/metric]. Session structure: [warm-up → targeted drill → feedback → adjust], ~[short duration]. Track: [how to measure the drill is working].

Quality Checks

  • The skill is broken into specific trainable sub-skills
  • Practice targets the weakness at the edge of ability, not the fun parts
  • A feedback mechanism is built in
  • Sessions are short and effortful, not long and mindless
  • There's a way to track that it's working

Anti-Patterns

  • Mindless repetition of the whole skill.
  • Practicing your strengths because they're enjoyable.
  • No feedback loop — practicing mistakes.
  • Long autopilot sessions instead of short focused ones.
  • "Just do it more" with no structure.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I practice basketball shooting effectively?"
  • "My guitar practice isn't making me better — design a real routine."
  • "Deliberate practice plan for improving my writing."
  • "I want to get better at public speaking — how should I practice?"
  • "Break down this skill so I can actually train the weak parts."
