DIY or Delegate: A Custom Learning Skill for AI Coding Agents

I stopped learning. Not because I quit coding. I was shipping more than ever. But AI agents were writing the interesting parts, and I was just reviewing diffs I half-understood. Especially painful when picking up a new framework or library: AI Agents would just figure it out for me, and I'd walk away having learned nothing.

So I built a custom Skill that forces the balance back. Before a project starts, you tell it what you want to learn. It then classifies every task: [DIY] tasks get broken down with specific learning goals and starting points, but you still do the research and write the code. [DELEGATE] tasks are implementation work outside that learning scope and get handed off to an agent. After each phase, it generates a quiz tied to your actual project code.
