memory-retrieval-learning — Claude Code skill: how to install
Builds evidence-based study plans using spaced repetition, active recall, and interleaving. It structures long-term learning for technical skills, languages, or certification exams.
npx skills add lyndonkl/claude --skill memory-retrieval-learning -a claude-codeWhat memory-retrieval-learning does
This skill structures study routines around retrieval testing and spaced reviews. It stops passive rereading. It chunks complex subjects into manageable units and writes the schedule into memory-retrieval-learning.md.
The workflow moves through five steps, from goal setting to daily review tracking. Intervals run at 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30 days. Plan quality is verified with resources/evaluators/rubric_memory_retrieval_learning.json, targeting a rubric score of at least 3.5.
Highlighting notes and last-minute cramming are ruled out. If retention stays under 60% after 3 cycles, you must rework the method instead of adding more hours. Forgetting 20-40% between reviews is expected.
What it helps with
- schedule spaced reviews across 1, 3, 7, 14, and 30-day intervals
- map out exam preparation timelines over 3 to 6 months
- structure self-testing flashcards for memorizing technical terms
- organize daily learning blocks for a new programming language
Example prompts for the agent
- Create a 3-month study schedule for AWS certification with spaced repetition
- Break down learning React into daily retrieval practice sessions
- Set up a flashcard review plan for technical interview questions
