graduated-implementation skillA

graduated-implementation is agent-read markdown (skill) from athola/claude-night-market: Ramps implementation ambition a notch only after the prior increment is understood. Use when building a feature you must understand, not just ship..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

# Graduated Implementation

## Overview

The sibling skill `imbue:assisted-mastery` fades scaffolding as
competence grows. This skill ramps the other axis: the ambition of
the next increment. They are the two directions of one move, the
graduated practice that turned novices into experts long before
agents existed. Not "ban the tool," but "couple the next challenge
to demonstrated competence on the last one."

The learning sciences give the move a number. Wilson et al. (2019,
*Nature Communications* 10:4646) derive the optimal training point
for a learner at roughly 85% success: hard enough to learn from,
not so hard that the signal is noise. The same band is what
Vygotsky's zone of proximal development, Ericsson's edge of
ability, and Csikszentmihalyi's flow channel all gesture at.
Bloom's mastery learning (advance a unit at >=90% on a fresh
check), Bayesian Knowledge Tracing (advance at p(mastery) >= 0.95),
and competence-based curriculum learning (Platanios et al. 2019,
…
