Turn source material (PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, SME notes, or a described topic) into an approved CourseCode course outline before any slides are built. Use when someone wants to plan, outline, storyboard, or design a course, or has documents to convert into training.

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

# Create a course outline

The outline (`course/COURSE_OUTLINE.md`) is the design document: modules, slides, interactions, assessments, objectives, and completion rules. Slides are built from it later, so get it approved first.

If there is no `course/` directory, use the `new-course` skill first.

## 1. Gather source material

- Ask the author for their source documents and where they are. Copy them into `course/references/`.
- Convert them to markdown:
  ```bash
  npx coursecode convert
  ```
  Output lands in `course/references/converted/`. Supported: `.docx`, `.pptx`, `.pdf`, `.md`. Read every converted file. Image placeholders in the markdown point to figures you may want on slides.
- No documents? Interview the author instead: audience, what learners must be able to do afterwards, how long the course should take, and how success is measured.

## 2. Read the guides

Read both files in the project before writing anything. Their rules are specific and the outline must follow them:

- `framework/docs/COURSE_OUTLINE_GUIDE.md` explains each section, what to leave out, interaction specs, and a quality checklist.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add course-code-framework/coursecode/outline@sha256:d50d042d3c5a2445

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.5e83221, 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.
