Research direction
Read workshop/04-github-actions-intro.md, focusing on the Quick Refresher and workflow YAML sample. Reduce the new concepts to 15 or fewer by keeping the five named terms in the refresher and moving secondary terms to links; preserve the labelling exercise and checkpoint. Run markdownlint and confirm the page meets those requirements.

Description
File: workshop/04-github-actions-intro.md
Overall Score: 5.39 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.09)
Flagged Dimensions:
| Dimension | Score | Benchmark | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| cognitive_load | 6.8 | ≥ 8 | −1.2 (28 concepts vs ≤ 15) |
| active_learning | 3.9 | ≥ 7 | −3.1 |
Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
The 'Quick Refresher' and sample YAML introduce 28 distinct terms for learners who may be new to Actions. Concept count, not length (756 words), drives the penalty.
Evidence (quoted from the file):
Quick Refresher (followed by a standard workflow YAML sample)
Learning Science Rationale:
Sweller's Cognitive Load Theory: novices can hold only ~4 new elements at once; pre-training on key terms (Mayer's pre-training principle) lets them process the full example. Limit the refresher to trigger, job, runner, action, step, and defer others.
Improvement Prompt (for an agent):
Edit workshop/04-github-actions-intro.md: reduce new concepts to ≤ 15 by limiting the refresher to the five labelled parts (trigger, job, runner, action, step) and moving secondary terms (matrix, cache, artifacts, etc.) to links. Keep the labelling exercise and checkpoint. Run markdownlint.
Expected Score After Fix: 6.0 / 10.0
