Run the user's semester from a machine-readable ledger built out of their syllabi. Use when they mention a class, an assignment, an exam, a deadline, a professor, a reading, a grade, attendance, or a syllabus; when they ask what is due, what to work on, or whether they can miss a class; when they hand over a syllabus PDF; and before helping with any graded work, because each course sets its own rules about what help is allowed.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Coursework

A syllabus is a contract that states, in writing, every date the student will be
judged on, exactly how much an absence costs, and precisely what help is
permitted. Almost nobody reads it twice. The whole point of this skill is to read
it once, carefully, into a ledger, and then answer from the ledger forever.

Two failure modes to design against, both worse than being slow:

1. **Inventing a date.** A confidently wrong deadline is more damaging than "I
   do not know", because the user stops checking. Every date in the ledger
   carries a `source` field naming the page it came from. If you cannot cite it,
   it does not go in.
2. **Helping in a way the course forbids.** Three courses in one semester can
   have three different AI policies: banned outright, allowed with mandatory
   prompt disclosure, allowed for ideation but not for the submitted artifact.
   Getting this wrong is an academic integrity referral, not a style problem.

## The ledger

Lives in `$COURSEWORK_DIR` (default `~/coursework`), plain YAML in git:

```
semester.yml        term dates, drop deadlines, breaks
courses/*.yml       one file per course
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add calebnewtonusc/chewbacca/coursework@sha256:c7d85ef39a34f08e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.762277d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
