Learning Editor
Feedback on your writing, marked on the exact words, from a coach that learns your habits.
Learning Editor marks your draft where it needs work: a hedge to cut, a word you lean on, a sentence that runs too long, a typo. Each mark sits on the exact words and says why. You apply it or dismiss it. Nothing in your note changes until you do, and one undo takes a change back.
It reads your profile, a note where you write down your voice, the words you never want changed and the habits you want to break. The checks follow it. When you dismiss a mark you can say why, and over time the plugin proposes changes to your profile. You accept only the ones you agree with.
The words to know#
| Word | What it is |
|---|---|
| Mark | One piece of feedback on one span of your note. It shows as a wavy underline, or as an inline diff with the cut words struck. |
| Kind | The group a mark belongs to: Voice, Clarity, Line, Cuts or Mechanics. Each has a color, and you can show or hide each one. |
| Profile | The note that describes your voice and habits. Learning Editor/profile.md unless you change it. |
| Habit rule | A small note that tells the local checks which words to mark. See Habit rules. |
| Coach | A model that reads the whole draft against your profile, when you ask. It runs through Model Hub. |
What runs where#
- On your device, free: the habit checks, spelling and grammar (checked by Harper, bundled with the plugin), your habit rate, and what the plugin learns from your decisions.
- Through Model Hub, only when you ask: the coach. Your provider bills you for each run. See Privacy and costs.
What you need#
- Obsidian 1.13.1 or later, on desktop. Learning Editor does not run on mobile.
- Model Hub, for the coach. The local checks work without it.
