Anything to Course

Turn any source material — documents, notes, books, articles, transcripts, slides, codebases, or just a topic — into a complete self-study course built on evidence-based learning science (retrieval practice, spaced repetition, interleaving, faded scaffolding, confidence calibration). Use whenever the user wants to create a course, curriculum, tutorial, training program, study guide, workshop, onboarding track, or learning path from existing content or expertise, even if they only say "help me teach X", "make learning materials from this", or "I need to explain this to my team".

# Anything to Course

Build courses that change what the learner **can do**, not what they recognize.

The failure mode to avoid: a "content dump" — well-organized explanations followed by a
few recognition quizzes. It reads smoothly, feels clear, and evaporates within a week.
Fluency is not learning. Every design decision in this skill exists to force effortful
retrieval, spaced re-encounters, and transfer to new contexts, because those are the
mechanisms that produce durable capability (see `references/learning-science.md` for the
principles and the research behind them).

## The one rule that governs everything

> The unit of course design is not a topic or a page. It is a **new capability of the
> learner** — something they can do after the course that they could not do before.

Content that does not serve a capability gets cut. A capability without practice is a
promise without a mechanism. A check that doesn't match the capability measures the
wrong thing.

## Workflow

### Step 0 — Intake

Collect the source material and establish context. Ask the user (or infer and state
assumptions explicitly if working autonomously):

1. **Audience** — who is the learner? What do they already know? What jargon is safe?
2. **Target capabilities** — what should the learner be able to DO afterwards?
3. **Scope and time budget** — a 2-hour primer and a 6-week course are different designs.
4. **Delivery format** — markdown for self-study (default), slides, LMS-ready text, etc.
