Design a real project to learn a skill by building something — the fastest way to actually get good, instead of endless tutorials. Use when asked I'm stuck in tutorial hell, what project should I build to learn, learn by doing, or a project to practice X. Produces a project scoped to your level that forces the skills you want to learn, a breakdown into buildable milestones, the specific skills each milestone teaches, where to get help without copying, and a stretch to grow into — because you learn a skill by using it on something real, not by watching more tutorials.

# Learn From a Project

Tutorial hell is real: you watch endlessly, feel like you're learning, and can't build anything yourself. Skills stick when you *use* them on a real project — one that forces you to figure things out, hit problems, and solve them. This designs that project: scoped to your level, structured to teach the exact skills you want, with milestones and just enough support that you build (and learn) instead of copy.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A project scoped to your level** — ambitious enough to force learning, small enough to finish (finishing matters)
- **The skills it forces** — how this specific project makes you learn the things you're trying to learn
- **Milestone breakdown** — the project split into buildable chunks, each a small win
- **What each milestone teaches** — so the learning is intentional, not incidental
- **Help without copying** — how to get unstuck (docs, examples, asking) without just copying a solution (which teaches nothing)
- **A stretch goal** — an extension to grow into once the core works
