Research direction

Start with workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md: move the inline links on the procedural steps into one "Learn more" list, keep the collapsed IMPORTANT callout and the pricing NOTE, and add a verification command after the secret is stored. Mirror the change in side-quest-11-07-openai-key.md. Done when the page keeps "Before You Start" and the Checkpoint, and npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "workshop/side-quest-11-0[67]*.md" passes.

Description

curriculum documentation quality

File: workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md
Overall Score: 5.37 / 10.0 (corpus mean: 6.06)

Flagged Dimensions:

Dimension Score Benchmark Delta
cognitive_load 7.2 (685 words, 26 concepts) ≤ 15 concepts −2.8
active_learning 3.4 density ≥ 3 → 10 −6.6
checkpoint_quality 0.0 (false positive — checkpoint at line 109; see rubric bug issue) ≥ 4 items n/a

Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
The page is short, but dense hyperlinks to engine, auth and billing docs plus two callouts (including a collapsed [!IMPORTANT] and a pricing [!NOTE]) raise the concept count to 26. The task itself is a linear five-section procedure.

Evidence (quoted from the file):

"Anthropic shows the full key value only once. Copy it to your clipboard before you close the dialog or navigate away."

Learning Science Rationale:
Mayer's coherence principle says extraneous material (here, duplicate links and conceptual asides) reduces learning from procedural content. Procedural steps with minimal split-attention (Sweller) are better supported when conceptual links are collected in one "Learn more" place rather than embedded in each sentence.

Improvement Prompt (for an agent):

Edit workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md: reduce new concepts to ≤ 15 by removing in-line hyperlinks from procedural steps and gathering them into one "Learn more" list after the Checkpoint's preceding section. Keep the key-shown-once IMPORTANT callout (single-line form if possible) and the pricing NOTE. Add one verification command (e.g. `gh secret list`) after storing the secret to raise activity density. Keep "Before You Start" and the ":white_check_mark: Checkpoint". Mirror the same change in side-quest-11-07-openai-key.md for consistency. Run `npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "workshop/side-quest-11-0[67]*.md"`.

Expected Score After Fix: 7.0 / 10.0 (after the rubric checkpoint fix is also applied)
