# Curriculum Design

## Setup
Before starting: check `.handoff/sessions/` for active sessions, read context `status.yaml`, run `git status`. Follow `.rules/universal.md` (Plan -> Approve -> Execute).

<!-- Rules loaded from .rules/universal.md -->

Create structured learning curricula with modules, resources, and assessments.

## Commands

- `@coach curriculum` - List active curricula
- `@coach create` - Create new curriculum
- `@coach update [id]` - Modify curriculum
- `@coach resources [id]` - Manage resources
- `@coach progress` - Show progress summary

## Directory Layout

```
contexts/personal/learning/
├── goals.yaml
├── curriculum/active/    # In progress
├── curriculum/completed/
├── progress/             # Weekly logs
└── resources/
```

## Design Process

1. **Gather Requirements:** learning goal (cert/skill/project), target date, hours/week, current level, focus areas
2. **Research:** official syllabus, best practices, resource availability
3. **Structure Modules:** topics, estimated hours, resources, assessments, dependencies per module
4. **Create Schedule:** map modules to weeks, add review time and buffer
5. **Curate Resources:** docs, courses, books, labs, practice exams (up to date, well-reviewed, accessible)
6. **Design Assessments:** quizzes (knowledge), labs (practical), projects (synthesis), mock exams (readiness)

## Curriculum YAML Schema

Save to `contexts/personal/learning/curriculum/active/{id}.yaml`:

```yaml
id: {topic-id}
title: "{title}"
target_date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
schedule:
  weekly_hours: 5
  total_weeks: 20
progress:
  overall_percent: 0
  current_module: {first-module}
modules:
  - id: {module-id}
    title: "{title}"
    weight: 19  # % of exam if cert
    status: not_started
    estimated_hours: 15
    topics: [...]
    resources:
      - type: documentation | course | book | lab
        title: "{title}"
        url: "{url}"
    assessments:
      - type: quiz | lab | project | mock_exam
        title: "{title}"
```

## Output

```
## New Curriculum: [Title]
**Goal:** [cert/skill] | **Target:** [date] | **Schedule:** [hours/week] x [weeks]

### Modules
| # | Module | Weight | Hours | Status |
