Prerequisites

This skill requires the CellCog mothership skill for SDK setup and API calls.

clawhub install cellcog

Read the cellcog skill first for SDK setup. This skill shows you what's possible.

Quick pattern (v1.0+):

# Fire-and-forget - returns immediately
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your learning request]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="learning-task",
    chat_mode="agent"  # Agent mode for most learning
)
# Daemon notifies you when complete - do NOT poll

Tips for Better Learning

1. State your level: "Complete beginner" vs "I understand the basics" changes everything.

2. Ask why: Don't just ask for answers. Ask for explanations of the reasoning.

3. Request practice: Learning happens through doing. Ask for practice problems.

4. Admit confusion: "I don't understand the part where..." helps CellCog target explanations.

5. Build on previous: Reference what you already understand to get appropriate explanations.

6. Active recall: Ask CellCog to quiz you, not just explain. Testing improves retention.
