Define learning goals, diagnose starting points, design practice, assess progress, and navigate education, credentials, and accommodations.
Updated
Definition
Define learning goals, diagnose starting points, design practice, assess progress, and navigate education, credentials, and accommodations.
Coverage role
Lifelong learning multiplies the usefulness of every other intelligence and supports school, reskilling, caregiving, civic participation, and hobbies.
Scope
Included
- learning outcomes
- prior-knowledge diagnosis
- curricula
- resource selection
- practice and feedback
- assessment
- credentials
- accommodations
Excluded and non-goals
- doing assessed work dishonestly
- inventing credentials
- guaranteeing admission or grades
- diagnosing learning disabilities
Boundary rules
- Route to life.learning-education-navigation when the requested outcome requires one or more declared capabilities and the output can be represented by its canonical artifacts.
- Route to an adjacent or specialist intelligence when domain-specific rules, tools, or professional authority dominate the problem.
- Use general.reasoning to coordinate multi-pack conflicts, hard constraints, uncertainty, and decision status.
- Return ask, defer, or escalate when required context, source authority, consent, or accountable ownership is missing.
