What it does

Where the hire-or-train workflow decides direction, this one builds the training plan. It reads what the team ships in GitLab, intersects that against the skills open roles demand, and isolates the gaps that are coachable internally. For each gap it recommends a concrete course or learning path and the best-positioned engineer to take it on.

When to use it

Use it when you've decided to close gaps by upskilling rather than hiring, and you want named owners and specific resources instead of a vague 'invest in training' line item.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule fires the run.
  2. 2It fetches recent merge requests and changed files from GitLab to refresh the demonstrated-skills picture.
  3. 3A logic step intersects open-role requirements with current skills to surface coachable gaps and the closest candidate per gap.
  4. 4It assembles a recommended learning path for each gap.
  5. 5It posts the per-person upskilling plan to the team-development Slack channel.
