Learner Profile

Chinese version: /zh-hant/context/learner-profile/

Use: compact context that helps an LLM choose the right language, examples, pace, and practice design. Keep this factual and update it from demonstrated evidence.

Identity and communication

  • Preferred language for this workspace: English by default.
  • Explanations should be clear, structured, and low-friction. Use Chinese/Cantonese only when the learner requests it or when a short translation removes a real barrier.
  • The learner is building an LLM-supported deliberate-practice and self-study system for career, work, study, and life.

Current environment

  • Agent platform: Any Agent, with persistent memory, project context files, session search, tools, and optional scheduled jobs.
  • Workspace principle: detailed learning evidence stays in local files; stable high-signal preferences may also live in agentic memory.

Learning preferences to validate over time

  • Wants learning assistance tailored to demonstrated level rather than a generic curriculum.
  • Wants reduced extraneous cognitive load: clear sequencing, small reasoning steps, consistent terminology, and concrete examples.
  • Still wants deliberate practice: attempt before solution, feedback tied to criteria, reflection, and progressive difficulty.
  • Values an LLM that can organise prior conversation outcomes into durable, reviewable files.

Known project context

  • The learner is designing this workspace from a notebook outline that separates goals, notes/captures, diagrams, logs, LLM-facing docs, agent instructions, human README, and sources/references.
  • The learner also wants the capture taxonomy: Ideas, Reflection, and Thinking / Thought.

Evidence model

Mark each subskill as one of:

  • secure — can explain and apply independently;
  • fragile — partly correct, inconsistent, or needs prompts;
  • missing — prerequisite or concept is absent;
  • unknown — not yet assessed.

Do not infer a level from confidence alone. Link evidence to actual attempts, feedback, or teach-backs.

To fill gradually

  • Career / work context:
  • Current study subjects:
  • Strong foundations:
  • Common failure patterns:
  • Time constraints / routine:
  • Preferred examples and domains:
  • Accessibility or format needs:
  • Topics the learner does not want help with:
