## Give this to your agent

```text
Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: learning plan.

Build me a learning plan for a topic. First ask me for the topic, my level, my goal and the hours a week I have.

Find the background with wikipedia/search and wikipedia/page-summary. Find the most cited introductions and reviews with openalex/search-works. Find books with open-library/search. Find lectures and courses with scrapecreators/get-v1-youtube-search.

Finish with the concepts in learning order, a week-by-week plan with one resource per step, exercises to check my progress, and a small project to finish with.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.
