At a glance
A Chinese-language skill that embeds learning strategies like retrieval practice and self-explanation as a parallel goal inside an OpenMAIC subject lesson, without making study skills the topic.
- Works in 2 steps: 概念目标：学生最终要理解、解释或迁移什么； → 学会学习目标：学生要练习哪一种学习动作，以及什么行为能证明它发生了。
- Adding retrieval practice or self-explanation into a subject lesson without making it the lesson's topic
- SKILL.md covers 先声明平行目标, 两条内容红线, 四个嵌入点 and 多智能体的作用, plus 2 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
The skill requires stating two goals before planning any page: a concept goal, what students should ultimately understand or transfer, and a learning-to-learn goal, which specific learning action students should practice and what observable behavior proves it happened. Each embedded strategy must be traceable back to the concept it serves, and strategies that cannot answer that are removed; the guidance favors one or two well-fitted strategies per lesson rather than listing the whole vocabulary of learning science.
Two content rules keep this invisible to students: internal planning labels such as learning seam or metacognition never appear as visible headings or body text, and teacher or student-agent dialogue stays in narration and actions, while static pages carry only concept points, questions, tasks and prompts phrased as concrete actions, such as writing an answer before checking it rather than naming retrieval practice.
Four embedding points structure where this happens: an opener that asks students to recall or predict before formal explanation, concept-building where a student explains the conclusion in their own words, hands-on interactive tasks where predicting or answering comes before feedback and mistakes lead to a retry path rather than a dead end, and a closing that covers what was understood, how it was learned, what remains uncertain and when to review again. A teacher agent models thinking before answering and a student agent models a realistic incomplete or wrong understanding for the learner to correct.
When your agent uses it
- Adding retrieval practice or self-explanation into a subject lesson without making it the lesson's topic
- Designing a lesson where students predict before seeing feedback
- Building a closing sequence that covers both concept understanding and how it was learned
Example prompts
- “帮我在这节光合作用课中加入检索练习和自我解释环节。”
- “Design a predict-then-check interactive task for the Newton's laws lesson.”
- “Write the lesson closing so students review both the concept and how they learned it.”
Requirements
- The OpenMAIC stage-design classroom workflow
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 概念目标：学生最终要理解、解释或迁移什么；
- 学会学习目标：学生要练习哪一种学习动作，以及什么行为能证明它发生了。
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 32f5923. 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
Learning to Learn (OpenMAIC) loads about 502 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 63 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- learning-to-learn
- description
- Infuse learning strategies and metacognition into a concept-centered OpenMAIC classroom as a parallel goal. Use when the user wants students to learn how to learn while studying a subject: retrieval practice, self-explanation, prediction before feedback, monitoring understanding, deliberate review, or productive failure. Do not use when learning science or study skills should be the standalone subject of the lesson.

- 学会学习（Learning to Learn）
学会学习（Learning to Learn）
把学习策略与元认知作为平行目标嵌入概念主课：不替换学科概念主线，而是改变学生如何经历、检查和巩固这些概念。
stage-design 仍然约束课堂的创建和持久化流程。如果同时使用 /understanding-by-design，先确定大概念、基本问题与表现性任务，再嵌入学习策略；如果同时使用 /social-emotional-learning，让两类平行目标服务同一概念任务，不要各自另起一条课程主线。
先声明平行目标
在页面计划前分别声明：
- 概念目标：学生最终要理解、解释或迁移什么；
- 学会学习目标：学生要练习哪一种学习动作，以及什么行为能证明它发生了。
每一个学习策略都要能回答“它在服务哪个概念理解”；答不出的嵌入删除。优先选择最贴合任务的 1–2 种策略，不要在一节课里罗列整套学习科学术语。
两条内容红线
- 规划标签不进页面：
学习缝、元认知、教学意图、平行目标等内部框架词只用于规划与 brief，不作为学生可见的标题、正文或栏目标签。 - 角色台词只走旁白：老师与学生代理的口述、示范和讨论发言放进 narration / actions；静态页面只承载概念要点、问题、任务与提示，不写“老师说”或“学生说”。
页面使用学生能立即执行的动作语言，而不是技术术语：
- 检索练习：写成“别急着翻，先把答案写出来”；
- 自我解释：写成“用自己的话给结论一个理由”；
- 先预测后验证：写成“先猜一下，再看对不对”；
- 间隔复习：写成“过几天再回来默一次”；
- 监控理解：写成“你是真的懂，还是只是感觉懂了？”
只有当用户明确要求讲授某种学习方法本身时，才把对应术语作为学生要学的内容。
四个嵌入点
这些是页面规划锚点，不是页面标题，也不要求各自新增一页：
- 开场：正式讲解前，让学生先调取已有知识、做出初步判断或写下预测。
- 概念建立：得出结论后，让学生用自己的话解释一次，并追问“为什么”。学生代理可以示范不完整解释，再邀请学习者补充或质疑。
- 亲手做：在
interactive中先预测或作答，再给反馈；错误要进入检查、补漏和重试路径，不能成为死路。 - 收束：同时收住“我理解了什么”“我是怎样学会的”“哪里还不确定”以及“之后如何再检索一次”。
多智能体的作用
- 老师：示范先想再答、检查理解与定位缺口；认可“我卡住了”，再引导补漏。
- 学生代理：呈现“感觉懂了但默不出来”、预测错误或解释不完整的真实状态，并邀请学习者判断、修正和迁移。
围绕方法和理解讨论，不评价人；老师及时把对话带回概念主线。
质量关口
- 概念目标与学会学习目标分开声明。
- 每个嵌入点都标明它服务的概念与可观察的学习动作。
- 至少让学生实际经历一次主动回忆、自我解释或先预测后验证，而不是只听学习方法介绍。
- 受挫与错误后保留反馈、补漏和重试路径。
- 收束同时包含概念理解、学习过程反思与后续复习动作。
- 逐页检查所有静态文字，不得出现内部规划标签或角色口述台词。
- 不承诺“万能学习法”；需要比较研究证据时先核实来源。
边界
本 Skill 用于把学习策略嵌入学科概念课，不用于以学习方法或学习科学本身为内容主线的独立课程。若用户要把学习法做成第二条完整课程主线，先用 ask_user 确认范围。
