title: "Learning from your notes"
description: "An agent skill with study methods that use your own Mimir notes as the material, so an AI agent can help you learn what you wrote down."
---

This skill teaches an AI agent study methods that work from the notes you
keep in Mimir. The agent reads a page, the bullets that link to it, and what
it finds in a search, and uses them to help you learn. It can ask you
questions, test how well you understand a topic, or point out what's
missing. You do the thinking, and the agent asks the questions.

The agent reads your notes through the `mimir` command. Set that up first,
as [Automating with the mimir command](/automating-with-the-mimir-command)
describes, with the `mimir` agent skill installed.

## Installing the skill

The skill is a folder that goes in your agent's skills folder. Run this in
a terminal for Claude Code, or replace `~/.claude/skills` with the skills
folder your agent reads:

```sh
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/mimir-learning && curl -fsSL https://docs.justmimir.com/.well-known/agent-skills/mimir-learning.tar.gz | tar -xz -C ~/.claude/skills/mimir-learning
```

To update the skill, run the same command again.

## Using it

Ask your agent in your own words what you want to learn and from which
page, for example "help me study my notes on [[Kubernetes]]". The agent
picks a method that fits, or asks which one you want.

The agent writes to your notes only when you agree. What it writes shows
up as a bullet with the robot icon, and `mimir revert` takes it back.
