Directory Layout

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:

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
