Learning Opportunities

Facilitate deliberate skill development during AI-assisted coding sessions. Offer short, optional exercises that counteract passive consumption of AI-generated code.

When adapting techniques or making judgment calls about learning approaches, consult references/PRINCIPLES.md for the underlying learning science.

When to offer exercises

Offer an optional 10-15 minute exercise after:

• Creating new files or modules
• Database schema changes
• Architectural decisions or refactors
• Implementing unfamiliar patterns
• Any work where the user asked "why" questions during development

Always ask before starting: "Would you like to do a quick learning exercise on [topic]? About 10-15 minutes."
