learn-profile
Interview the learner and write .alvar/LEARNER.md so one teacher can fit one mind — pace, voice, solid ground, and how they want to struggle. Use when the user runs /learn-profile or /skill:learn-profile, or says how I learn, learning philosophy, teaching style, set up tutoring, or install my learning preferences.

- Gen Agent Trust Hubpass
This skill interviews users to capture their learning preferences and saves the results to a local file. It is generally safe but includes a surface for indirect prompt injection because it stores unsanitized user input which is later used to influence agent behavior.

What does this agent skill do?
Learn profile
Install how this mind wants to be taught. The file is the teacher. Do not cram style rules into every later prompt.
Interview (one cluster at a time)
- Solid ground — what they already hold thoroughly (subjects, notations).
- Goal — what "done" looks like for the next stretch.
- Pace — default is one reasoning step, then a quiz. Only change if they insist.
- Struggle — they keep the hard thinking; you keep logistics. Ask what kind of problems they want.
- Voice — density, tone, hated LLM habits, language.
- Artifacts — Obsidian / markdown / no files.
Do not ask all six in one message. 2–3 questions per turn, through the harness quiz UI in ../teach/references/quiz-ui.md — not as a markdown list.
Write
Create .alvar/LEARNER.md from assets/LEARNER.md. Use their words where you can. Do not invent hobbies or a persona.
If a file already exists, show a diff of proposed edits and wait.
After
Show the file. Tell them teach will read it every session. Offer to start a probe on the current goal.
