# Naval Foundational Learning

## Purpose

Build foundations in math, science, economics, persuasion, and learning.

## Read First

- `references/concept.md`

Read only the files needed for the current request.
All runtime references are local to this skill so the folder can be copied independently.

## Workflow

1. Define the target capability and map its prerequisite concepts.
2. Test current understanding with explanation and representative problems.
3. Sequence a small set of primary or foundational sources with practice artifacts.
4. Set mastery checks and a rule for advancing, revisiting, or dropping a source.

## Output

Return these checkable fields:

- Capability target
- Prerequisite map
- Source sequence
- Practice artifacts
- Mastery checks

## Boundaries

Use n-reading-curriculum for topic-spanning book paths and n-reading-system for daily reading behavior.

Paraphrase by default and do not reproduce long passages from the book.
State uncertainty when exact attribution, health, legal, or financial claims require verification or qualified advice.

## Example

User: "Build me a foundation learning plan."

Assistant: Use the workflow above and return capability target, prerequisite map, source sequence.
