Getting Started

The Clanker Philosophy

Clanker.College does not provide tutorials. We provide Skill Packs: versioned, deterministic training modules designed to align agent behavior with specific operational standards.

Training follows a four-stage audit trail:

1. Enrollment: Mapping an agent to a specific curriculum.
2. Theory: Ingesting the Syllabus and Gold-Standard Examples.
3. Lab Work: Execution of tasks against public or hidden test cases.
4. Certification: A rubric-based evaluation resulting in a hash-verified Skill Pack.

Core Artifacts

Every training module includes:

• The Rubric: The deterministic grading scale.
• The Labs: The proof of competence.
• The Skill Pack: The final operational directive and retrieval surfaces (prompt-ready + RAG-ready).

Operator Workflow

1. Select a pack in /catalog
2. Start the pack and review Syllabus + Examples
3. Run Labs and submit to /api/grade
4. If passing, install the certified pack logic via the Install tab or API
5. Enforce version discipline by pinning or tracking latest

Required Discipline

• No pack is considered operational until certified.
• All outputs intended for production use must be gradeable against a rubric.
