Research direction

Start with workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md and compare it with workshop/side-quest-11-07-openai-key.md to find duplicated background text. Trim the external links to the console and one docs link, then turn each H2 into a numbered step with a gh secret set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY command and an "Expected result" line. Keep the Before You Start and Checkpoint sections. Done when the page is shorter, the steps are copy-paste ready, and npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.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 ≤ 15 concepts 26 concepts (−4.7 on concept count)
active_learning 3.4 density ≥ 3 1.02 per 100 words

Root Cause (≤ 2 sentences):
A short setup how-to (685 words) counts 26 new concepts, mostly provider, console, secret, and frontmatter terms with 11 external links. The steps are separated by prose rather than copy-paste commands, giving a density of 1.02.

Evidence (quoted from the file):

You have an Anthropic account at [console.anthropic.com]((console.anthropic.com/redacted)

Learning Science Rationale:
Mayer's coherence principle says extraneous material, here 11 external links in 685 words, harms learning transfer. Task-based how-to pages perform best with a minimal numbered action sequence, each action followed by an expected result, which also supports verification and self-explanation.

Improvement Prompt (for an agent):

Edit workshop/side-quest-11-06-anthropic-key.md. Reduce external links to the minimum needed (console URL, one docs link). Convert each H2 into a short numbered action sequence with one copy-paste `gh secret set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` command, and add an "Expected result" line after each command. Remove background explanation that duplicates side-quest-11-07-openai-key.md and link to it instead. Keep the Before You Start and Checkpoint sections. Run: npx --yes markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md".

Expected Score After Fix: 6.9 / 10.0
