Research direction

Read workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md and follow the cited sections, “What you'll set up” and “Update your workflow frontmatter.” Reduce the guide to 15 or fewer new concepts, link to the secrets and network docs, and make each section a command or UI action with an expected result. Keep the checkpoint and run markdownlint; completion is the requested guide update with lint passing.

Description

curriculum documentation quality

File: workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md
Overall Score: 5.37 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.09)

Flagged Dimensions:

Dimension Score Benchmark Delta
cognitive_load 7.2 ≥ 8 −0.8 (26 concepts vs ≤ 15)
active_learning 3.4 ≥ 7 −3.6

Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
The page mixes Anthropic account, secrets, engine config, compile and network allowlist concepts in one flow. The 26 concepts are mostly product and config nouns rather than steps.

Evidence (quoted from the file):

What you'll set up / ## Update your workflow frontmatter

Learning Science Rationale:
Segmenting and signaling principles (Mayer) suggest keeping procedural guides as short task steps with minimal side concepts; extraneous terms increase load without aiding the task.

Improvement Prompt (for an agent):

Edit workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md: cut new concepts to ≤ 15 by removing explanatory asides and linking to the secrets and network docs; convert each section into a command or UI action with an expected result. Keep checkpoint. Run markdownlint.

Expected Score After Fix: 5.9 / 10.0
