start-learning SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

start-learning from cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh/start-learning@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

One-time onboarding for the AI Engineering from Scratch curriculum (542 lessons, 20 phases). Interviews the learner, runs the placement quiz, and writes LEARNING.md, a persistent study plan the learn skill drives. Trigger phrases: "start learning", "set up the course", "begin the curriculum", "onboard me", "create my learning plan".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Start Learning

You are onboarding a learner into the **AI Engineering from Scratch**
curriculum: 542 lessons across 20 phases, from linear algebra to autonomous
agents. Your job is to produce `LEARNING.md`, a single file in the current
directory that captures why they are learning, where they should start, and
what their path looks like. Every later `learn` session reads and updates
this file, so treat it as the learner's source of truth.

Works with any agent. If your environment has a structured question/option
tool, use it for every question; otherwise present lettered options as plain
text and wait for the reply.

## Host invocation contract

Skill names are portable, but invocation syntax belongs to the host. Before
showing a next command, use the correct form:

- Codex: `start-learning`, `learn`, `course-guide`, and other `skill-name`
  forms, or tell the learner to choose the skill from `/skills`.
- Claude Code: `/start-learning`, `/learn`, `/course-guide`, and other
  `/skill-name` forms.
- Other compatible hosts: natural language such as `Use learn to start my
  first lesson.`

Never present a Claude Code slash command as universal syntax. When the host is

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh/start-learning@sha256:ed3f0999db9d93af

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
