Research direction
Read workshop/05-agentic-workflows-intro.md and review its word count, activities, Before You Start section, and Checkpoint. Follow the improvement prompt: shorten the key terms, move the specified explanations into a <details> block, and make Activities 2 and 3 checklist driven with concrete outputs. Done when the page is at most 850 words and preserves the required sections; run the provided markdownlint command.

Description
File: workshop/05-agentic-workflows-intro.md
Overall Score: 5.4 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.1)
Flagged Dimensions:
| Dimension | Score | Benchmark | Delta |
|---|---|---|---|
| active_learning | 2.4 | ≥ 10 | −7.6 |
| cognitive_load | ≈ 7.0 (above 800 words) | ≥ 9 | ≈ −2 (1107 words) |
Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
This foundational page (three key terms, two-file structure, and three activities) runs 1107 words, ~55% over the 800-word ideal, with activity density only ~0.8 per 100 words. The activities are prose-heavy (classification and brief-writing) with little code or checklist interaction.
Evidence (quoted from the file):
"Before skipping, confirm you already know both of these: You can describe what an Actions workflow trigger does; You have worked with AI agent execution environments in a production or CI/CD context"
Learning Science Rationale:
Mayer's segmenting and signalling principles suggest chunking dense explanations and cueing the learner to the essential elements; Cognitive Load Theory predicts that exceeding ~800 words of mixed explanation and activity taxes working memory in an introductory step. Shorter segments with immediate practice improve retention (the testing effect).
Improvement Prompt (for an agent):
Edit workshop/05-agentic-workflows-intro.md. Cut it to ≤ 850 words: shorten "Three key terms" to a three-row table, and move the "Still uncertain?" reveal and extended explanation of the two-file structure into a <details> block. Keep Activity 2 and Activity 3 but turn each into a short checklist-driven task with a concrete expected output (so activity density ≥ 3). Preserve Before You Start and the 6-item Checkpoint. No numbered headings (rename "Activity 2 —" / "Activity 3 —" to descriptive headings). Run `npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md"`.
Expected Score After Fix: 5.9 / 10.0 with current rubric (≈ 7.7 after the rubric regex fix)
