# ship-learn-next

Takes a transcript, article or tutorial and turns it into concrete steps through the Ship-Learn-Next loop: ship something, reflect, plan the next rep.

## What it does

The skill reads whatever file you hand it and pulls out the parts you can actually practise. Theory and background get dropped; lessons, principles and worked examples stay. Then it asks questions: what do you want to reach in 4–8 weeks, what does success look like, what could you put out into the world?

Every cycle runs through three phases. SHIP means making something real. LEARN is an honest look at what happened. NEXT is the plan for the following iteration. The first rep gets cut down to the smallest shippable version that fits in 1–7 days, with success criteria, action steps and reflection questions for afterwards. Reps 2–5 are sketched out, each adding one new element.

Only `Read` and `Write` are allowed, so the skill works on text and leaves your code alone. It pushes hard against endless planning: a vague goal like “learn X” comes back as “ship Y by date Z”. If you wanted a code review or a test run, look elsewhere.

## When to use it
- turn a video transcript into a list of concrete steps
- cut a big idea down to a first shippable rep
- write success criteria for a learning project
- plan the next iterations after the first result
- replace a vague goal with a deadline and an artifact

## Example prompts
- Read `transcript.txt` and build a Ship-Learn-Next action plan from it
- Break this tutorial into a first rep I can ship this week
- Write the reflection questions for after rep 1
