feat: Rename 'learn' to 'extract-skills' for clarity

[jeremyeder]

Rename 'learn' Command to 'extract-skills'

Summary

The agentready learn command has been renamed to agentready extract-skills to better communicate its purpose: extracting successful patterns from high-scoring repositories as reusable Claude Code skills.

Motivation

The original name "learn" was ambiguous:

• ❌ Suggests the tool is "learning" (passive, unclear)
• ❌ Doesn't convey what the user gets (output-focused naming)
• ❌ Not discoverable (what does "learn" do?)

The new name "extract-skills" is clear:

• ✅ Action-oriented (extract = verb, skills = noun)
• ✅ Describes the output (generates SKILL.md files)
• ✅ Discoverable (agentready --help shows extract-skills)

Changes

Breaking Change

Before:

agentready learn . --output-format skill_md

After:

agentready extract-skills . --output-format skill_md

Files Modified

• src/agentready/cli/learn.py → src/agentready/cli/extract_skills.py
• @click.command() → @click.command("extract-skills")
• Function def learn(...) → def extract_skills(...)
• tests/unit/test_cli_learn.py → tests/unit/test_cli_extract_skills.py
• Updated CLI registration in src/agentready/cli/main.py
• Updated documentation in CLAUDE.md and specs/llm-pattern-extraction.md

Migration Guide

Users with existing scripts or CI/CD pipelines must update:

- agentready learn . --enable-llm
+ agentready extract-skills . --enable-llm

- agentready learn . --output-format all
+ agentready extract-skills . --output-format all

All flags and options remain identical - only the command name changed.

Implementation

Completed in commit: 80938e1

Checklist:

• Rename CLI file
• Update command decorator
• Update CLI registration
• Rename test file
• Update test cases
• Update documentation
• Update CHANGELOG.md (next release)
• Add deprecation notice in release notes

Related

• Addresses feedback that the "learn" command purpose wasn't intuitive
• Aligns with clarity improvements from Implementation Simplification Refactor: Keep All Features, Reduce Complexity 30% #122 (implementation simplification)
• Part of ongoing effort to make AgentReady more discoverable

Rollout

This is a breaking change and should be included in the next major or minor release with prominent documentation in:

1. CHANGELOG.md - Breaking Changes section
2. Release Notes - Migration guide
3. README.md - Update all examples
4. Documentation - Update user guide

Consider adding a deprecation warning in next patch release before full rename.
