Start here when the repo feels like a pile of good pages but you need a path.
This curriculum has two jobs:
- teach practical LLM-development skills inside existing systems;
- apply the Open Horizons loop to those skills without turning it into paperwork.
| Tutorial | Use when | Shared materials |
|---|---|---|
| Builder Loop Tutorial | You want one real project slice from intent through execution, review, and learning. | intent, model fit, context, framing, evidence, brief, review, extraction |
| Context to Agent Tutorial | A useful prompt or checklist might become a reusable interface. | context construction, prompt assembly, skills, subagents |
| Eval Tutorial | You need a quality bar, fixture set, harness check, grader, threshold, or production signal. | evidence, eval checklist, SLO-style signals, review |
The full module-by-module map lives in Curriculum. Use this page to choose a path, then open shared materials when the tutorial asks for them.

| Need | Template |
|---|---|

| Symptom | Go here |
|---|---|
| The model output is fluent but generic. | Model-Fit Framing, Context Construction, and Prompt and Context Assembly |
| You keep copy-pasting the same prompt or checklist. | Context to Agent Tutorial and Authoring Skills |
| Nobody knows what counts as correct. | Eval Tutorial and Evidence and Evals |
| The repo has too many possible fixes. | Problem Space, then Problem Statement |
| The first patch looks plausible but shallow. | Beyond the Nearest Peak |
| The agent keeps wandering. | Agent Briefs and Execution, Review, Dissent, and Salvage |
| The patch works, but the next session would forget the lesson. | Knowledge Extraction |
| The work keeps expanding and the finish line keeps moving. | Execution, Review, Dissent, and Salvage |
