Jit Learn

This is a Hermes-native `jit-learn` workflow skill.

Why This Exists

`jit-learn` exists to choose what is worth learning for the user's present problem and convert credible sources into an immediate application path, instead of returning a generic self-help shelf or a popularity list.

Do Not Use When

• The user asks OMH to learn from workflow outcomes, missed routes, or evaluation traces; use `workflow-learning`.
• The learning goal is already chosen and the user wants a multi-week syllabus, instructional sequence, or assessment plan; use `curriculum-design`.
• The user supplied a paper, PDF, arXiv entry, or excerpt and wants it explained; use `paper-learning`.
• The requested output is a typed source candidate inventory or acquisition status rather than a fitted learning brief; use `source-finder`.
• The research question and target are already scoped and the user wants current facts, citations, or source synthesis rather than choosing what to learn; use `research`.

Examples

Good example:

• Prompt: What should I learn next to solve my current onboarding blocker? Recommend books, podcasts, creators, and courses I can apply this week.
• Expected behavior: Ask one confirmation question, confirm the immediate target, then prepare a source-backed four-section learning brief ranked by fit and time-to-first-value.
• Why: The user needs target selection and immediate transfer, not a generic curriculum or popularity-ranked resource list.

Bad example:

• Prompt: Design a six-week Python syllabus with weekly assessments.
• Expected behavior: Route to `curriculum-design` because the target is already chosen and the requested output is a sequenced curriculum.
• Why: Just-in-time target selection should not displace an explicit curriculum-design request.

Completion Checklist

• At least one confirmation question was answered, no turn contained more than one question, and the shared interview ceiling was respected.
• Urgency/trigger, current level, application window, and the target statement are explicit before research.
• Every admitted recommendation is source-gated and popularity signals did not influence admission or rank.
• Books, Podcasts, Creators, and Courses are present with complete fields or an honest empty-section reason.
• Competing targets, filtered-out defaults, unresolved gaps, and one starting action are visible.
• The final status says the brief is prepared and does not claim consumption, learning, application, progress, or blocker resolution.

Recovery Notes

• If a required readiness dimension remains unclear, ask the one answer that most changes the target while the shared round budget remains.
• If the shared interview ceiling is reached, proceed with explicit assumptions and gaps rather than asking another question.
• If sources or links cannot be checked, leave the affected section empty with the retrieval reason instead of adding a generic recommendation.
• If the target becomes a syllabus, supplied-paper explanation, source inventory, already-scoped research question, or OMH self-improvement request, preserve the sibling boundary and route accordingly.

Workflow Lane

• Current lane: **Research and company ops** (`product-docs`, `source-finder`, `web-research`, `research`, `model-optimization`, `inference-serving`, `model-finetuning`, `research-brief`, `+20 more`) - research, signals, ops, and briefings.
• If intent belongs to another lane, hand back to `oh-my-hermes` or name the adjacent workflow.
• Shared product, routing, compatibility, and evidence rules: `omh-routing/references/skill-common-rail.md`.

Use When

Use when selecting the highest-leverage immediate learning target for an active blocker before preparing a source-backed Markdown brief for direct application.

Strong routing signals: `jit-learn`, `learn next`, `learn now`, `blocker-specific learning target`, `highest-leverage learning target`, `immediate learning payoff`, `immediately applicable learning brief`, `source-backed learning brief`, `학습 주제`, `도움 되는 학습 주제`, `당장 적용할 학습 목표`, `책 팟캐스트 크리에이터 강의 학습 브리프`

Quality bar:

• Resolve urgency/trigger, current level, and application window with one question per turn, while stopping early once all three are clear after the mandatory first answer.
• Confirm one target in the form `Learn X now so I can do/decide Y in context Z by T.` before source research.
• Prefer primary, institutional, and credible practitioner sources; rank by specific fit, authority, currency, time-to-first-value, and direct transfer rather than popularity.
• Keep Books, Podcasts, Creators, and Courses visible even when no candidate passes, and explain every empty section instead of padding it.
• For each admitted resource, state title, format, creator/publisher, link, source class, time to first value, specific fit, first application, and applicable link/access/currency caveats.
• Close with competing targets considered, filtered-out defaults, unresolved gaps, and exactly one recommended starting action.
