/upskill

/upskill is your career coach. It looks at the distance between where you are and where the jobs you want need you to be, then hands you a prioritised list of what to learn and where to learn it — every resource pulled from a live web search, never invented.

Two ways to run it

What a run looks like

you:    /upskill
claude: Reading your tracker (12 applications) and your profile…

The heatmap prints first so you can see the shape of the gap before the detail.

What you walk away with

1. A gap heatmap — every gap rated Critical / High / Medium / Low, tagged by kind (a missing tool, a domain you haven't worked in, a soft skill, or a credential).
2. A learning plan — for each gap that matters, two or three real resources (with links and a one-line reason), a study direction tuned to what you already know so you don't re-learn the basics, and a time estimate.
3. A study order — a numbered sequence that respects dependencies, front-loads quick wins, and saves broad domain knowledge for last, with a total time at the bottom.
4. A saved report at upskill/report-*.md. Run it again next month and the aggregate report opens with a delta: which gaps you've closed, and which are new.

How it stays honest

• No invented resources. Every course, doc, and book comes from an actual web search with the current year in the query. If nothing good exists for a gap, it says so.
• It won't pad an empty tracker. No applications logged yet? Instead of an empty report, it nudges you to run /search and /apply first, or to point it at a single job with /upskill <url>.
• Low-priority gaps show in the heatmap for completeness but don't get a plan entry unless you ask — the plan stays focused on what moves the needle.

Seeing it in the dashboard

Every report lands in upskill/report-*.md, and the dashboard's Upskill tab lists them for you to re-read any time. You can also kick off a fresh run straight from the dashboard Console — it runs this same /upskill command.
