Notes for trainers

  • Use the session IDs in each track to find the full lesson in curriculum-plan.md.
  • Check that learners meet the track's prerequisites before scheduling.
  • Add or remove sessions to match customer needs
  • Most sessions use the standard 3-hour format. Session M5-03 uses a 1-hour trainer segment and a 3-hour lab.
  • Developer Productivity and Agentic Development include Sessions M2-05 and M7-05's developer route. Both require live app access; prepared outputs do not complete the labs. Session M3-05's interview comparison requires live CLI skill loading.
  • Set up CLI /refine before Session M1-03. For Session M2-01, check local sandbox support and how the installed version applies limits. Session M3-04 needs JavaScript LSP; Session M2-06 needs Python LSP. Check the session preflights before scheduling.
  • Session M2-05 also requires /fork, /merge-to-parent, and /spar. These app commands do not replace the CLI's worktree and recovery exercise.
  • Open a session from the module list for its materials.
