Documentation

A portable curriculum for a living codebase.

rope-ladder makes an unfamiliar repository teachable without modifying that repository. It uses an AgentRouter-supported coding agent at the lowest available sampling setting, researches factual claims, and keeps the result in an independent curriculum workspace.

Core commands

• init creates the independent local-Git curriculum workspace.
• lesson-plan indexes source, generates references and standalone diagrams, and builds the prerequisite DAG and focused units.
• ta asks a reflection question for the next lesson and writes a private journal outside the workspace.
• publish explicitly opens a fork-based pull request to the public curriculum catalog.

Privacy boundaries

Source transfer to a provider is an explicit per-run action. Public publication is a different explicit action. The catalog payload is allowlisted: it includes rendered learning artifacts, but excludes journals, caches, configuration, workspace state, conflict proposals, and credentials.

Curriculum artifacts

Every completed lesson plan contains concise domain and implementation references, a meaningful-entity reference, offline architecture and entity-relationship HTML diagrams, a human-readable lesson plan, and a machine-readable manifest for the teaching assistant.
