Instructor guide
Route instructors to the strict landing-page workshop, milestone-led learner-chosen app project, recovery material, and maintenance checks.
AI Dev has two teaching formats:
- Landing page in 120 minutes: a fixed, source-first Astro → GitHub → Vercel route with a live URL as its finish line.
- App project: milestone-led teaching for learner-chosen apps. It is not compressed into two hours and has no canonical demo product.
Before either format:
- Run the maintenance check.
- Send and verify landing-page pre-work, when applicable.
- Prepare the recovery routes.
- Decide what evidence the room must show at each gate.
The instructor does not approve product claims, database ownership decisions, external permissions, or production deployments on behalf of the learner. Teach the review method and stop when the responsible owner is absent.
Facilitation rule
Project output is secondary to a recoverable method:
source → plan → human decision → small change → evidence → save point
Do not rescue a learner by taking over their terminal for an unexplained series of commands. State what is wrong, choose the documented recovery route, and leave them able to continue.
Teach the app project
Teach learner-chosen apps through reusable PRD, baseline, data, auth, vertical-slice, differentiator, evidence, and release gates.
instructorLanding page in 120 minutes
Run a strict two-hour source-to-Astro-to-GitHub-to-Vercel workshop with visible checkpoints, human gates, and recovery cutoffs.
instructorLanding-page workshop pre-work
Verify accounts, local tools, source material, repository decisions, and a recovery route before the landing-page workshop clock starts.
instructorLanding-page workshop recovery
Recover common workshop failures without hiding them, destroying learner work, or consuming the whole class clock.
instructorInstructor maintenance check
Recheck the publishing route and pinned app starter before a cohort without silently moving the tested baseline.
