Research direction
Read workshop/side-quest-17-07-repo-poisoning.md and follow its four defence subsections and the “Spot the Dangerous Frontmatter” exercise. Move detail on network allowed-domains and protected-files to links to the gh-aw docs, and add a short try-it action after each defence. Keep the checkpoint at four or more items, meet the stated word and concept limits, then run markdownlint.

Description
File: workshop/side-quest-17-07-repo-poisoning.md
Overall Score: 4.95 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.09)
Flagged Dimensions:
| Dimension | Score | Benchmark | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| cognitive_load | 5.8 | ≥ 8 | −2.2 |
| active_learning | 2.7 | ≥ 7 | −4.3 |
Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
The page introduces 23 concepts (permissions, safe-outputs, protected-files, allowed-domains, attack model) in 1234 words with density 0.81. Four defences are explained in prose before any learner activity.
Evidence (quoted from the file):
How AW Defends Against It (four subsections before the first exercise at 'Spot the Dangerous Frontmatter')
Learning Science Rationale:
Cognitive Load Theory and the segmenting principle (Mayer) recommend learner-paced chunks; interleaving explanation with an action after each defence reduces intrinsic load and improves transfer.
Improvement Prompt (for an agent):
Edit workshop/side-quest-17-07-repo-poisoning.md: reduce to ≤ 900 words and ≤ 15 new concepts by moving detail on network allowed-domains and protected-files to links to the gh-aw docs; place a short 'try it' code/checklist action after each defence subsection. Keep the checkpoint with ≥ 4 items. Run markdownlint.
Expected Score After Fix: 6.2 / 10.0
