skill-plan — Personalized Career-Switch Learning Strategy
Turns one target job role into an executable plan: gap analysis, phased learning path, portfolio list, application timeline, and stop-loss rules.

What it does
- Subtracts your current skills from the target role's job requirements to produce a gap list, flagging what is transferable versus what must be learned from scratch.
- Builds 2–4 learning phases, each with verifiable goals, resource suggestions (free-first, WebSearch-verified with a year), a time box based on your weekly hours, and an explicit AI-acceleration tactic.
- Adds 2–4 demo-ready portfolio pieces, a job-application timeline (when to start applying, which channels), a stop-loss line, and an honest month-by-month expectation.
- Persists the plan plus a locked
predictionblock into.skill-state.jsonso later retros can compare plan vs. reality. - On your approval, exports a plain-language report as a Word (.docx) file and then immediately kicks off the Week 1 / Day 1 task in coaching mode.
Who it's for
- Career switchers who know the target role but not the learning order
- Non-technical learners who want AI to compress the learning curve and produce demonstrable work
- Users who already ran skill-scan in the same repo to shortlist candidate roles (prerequisite)
Examples
- "I picked the AI workflow operations role, 10 hours/week — make my plan" → gap list + 10-week phased path + 3 portfolio specs
- "How do I study for this role?" → marks reusable existing skills and schedules only the true gaps
- After approving the plan: "Export the report" → Word file saved under
reports/, folder opened, and the first hands-on task (pick a main tool, ship a simple AI bot) begins

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/skill-plan folder from the GitHub repo XBuilderLAB/cheat-on-skill into my ~/.claude/skills/skill-plan/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/XBuilderLAB/cheat-on-skill.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r cheat-on-skill/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/XBuilderLAB/cheat-on-skill.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skills:
cp -r cheat-on-skill/skills/* ~/.claude/skills/(keep the repo layout, since this skill readsshared-referencesrubrics). - Restart Claude Code and run skill-scan first to generate
.skill-state.jsonwith candidate roles. - Say "make a learning plan for <role>" or
skill planto trigger it. - Find generated reports in the project's
reports/directory.
