Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "deliberate-practice" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into your project mkdir -p .claude/skills/deliberate-practice && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/deliberate-practice/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/flpbalada/my-opencode-config/main/skills/deliberate-practice/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Apply deliberate practice principles for rapid skill acquisition and expert-level performance. Use when learning new skills, plateauing in development, designing training routines, or seeking to accelerate expertise acquisition.
Practice Routine Examples
| Skill Target | Isolation Practice | Feedback Mechanism | | --------------------- | ------------------------------- | ---------------------- | | Debugging | Reproduce bugs in controlled way| Root cause analysis | | Algorithm design | Solve one algorithm type | Test cases, complexity| | API design | Design one endpoint | Code review | | Refactoring | Transform one pattern | Tests pass before/after| | Learning a new language | Implement basic patterns | Exercises, compiler |
Deliberate Practice & Skill Acquisition
Structured approach to improving performance through focused effort, feedback, and continuous refinement. Based on psychologist K. Anders Ericsson's research on expertise acquisition.
When to Use This Skill
• Learning a new technical skill or programming language • Plateauing in skill development and seeking to break through • Designing personal training or practice routines • Onboarding new team members effectively • Teaching others how to practice better • Evaluating if practice sessions are productive
Core Principle
Performance = Intentional Effort + Immediate Feedback + Progressive Challenge Deliberate practice contrasts with naive practice (mindless repetition). The difference is the difference between 10 years of experience and 1 year of experience repeated 10 times.
