Exercise Builder

Goal: attach at least one verifiable exercise to every module so the tutorial has a teaching loop.

Inputs

• outline/module_plan.yml

Outputs

• Updated outline/module_plan.yml

Exercise schema (recommended)

For each module, add an exercises list. Each exercise should contain:

• prompt

• expected_output

• verification_steps (a checklist)

Workflow

• Read outline/module_plan.yml and enumerate modules.

• For each module, design ≥1 exercise that directly verifies the module objectives.

• Ensure every exercise has an expected output and a verification checklist.

• Update outline/module_plan.yml in place.

Definition of Done

• Every module in outline/module_plan.yml has ≥1 exercise.

• Every exercise includes expected_output

• verification_steps .

Troubleshooting

Issue: exercises are open-ended with no verification

Fix:

• Convert them into “do X → observe Y → verify Z” with concrete artifacts.

Issue: exercises drift from the running example

Fix:

• Re-anchor each exercise to the module’s running_example_steps so the tutorial stays coherent.
