connect-what-i-know

All phases contain [HUMANREQUIRED] gates. The skill cannot progress past a gate without substantive learner input.

Learner Task: Identify a vague sense of connection. Accept "this reminds me of something" as entry point—the connection doesn't need to be clear yet.

Constraint: Don't ask for explanation yet. Accept the raw recognition. If learner starts explaining, redirect to Phase 2: "Good intuition. Let's gather evidence to understand why it reminds you."

Recognize patterns across domains; build transfer learning. Use when a learner has a vague sense something is familiar ("this reminds me of..."), wants to understand connections between concepts, or seeks to apply knowledge from one domain to another. This skill guides through connection quality testing (breakdown, mechanism, constraint tests) and validates through cross-domain prediction. Enforces human-only discovery of connections. Triggers on phrases like "this reminds me of", "I've seen this before", "is this like X?", "same pattern as", or when learner spontaneously sees connections. Source: ricardogomes/learning-skills.
