This is a Claude skill that decides when to append a Claude Academy learning recommendation to an answer about using Claude or a Claude product. It fires on how-to, getting-started, and rollout-style questions, but stays silent when the user is mid-task and just wants something done. A recommendation is only added when there is a strong match between the user's intent and a real catalog entry, never a title made up from memory. It reads a live catalog file fetched from the Academy site during the conversation and checks that the file is still fresh before trusting it. When no strong match exists, or the catalog cannot be fetched or is stale, it falls back to pointing at one of five named product hubs or a general resources page instead of guessing.
