Reading Guide

Study the clusters through their artifacts

Start with each cluster's first lesson, predict its example, then study the second lesson and do the matching practice. Use the worked example after an attempt, and implement one boundary at a time in the guided lab. Keep the reference implementation closed until you have preserved your own failure and repair.

Choose a source for the specific gap

Local lessons and the lab README are the required teaching route. Use resources to answer a specific unresolved question; full-book reading is not required. External courses are optional alternatives and their full completion is not included in the 12–18-hour allowance. Read source assumptions and version notes before copying code.

Keep a short question, your prediction, the source section and the observation that changed your understanding. If a command fails, use the exact error and smallest case rather than collecting more tutorials.

For a plausible but incorrect suggestion, return to the independently written contract and counterexample. Use the model introduction for vocabulary and the workflow article for architectural context; neither replaces an actual evaluation result. Defer transformer mathematics and API setup.
