Build Strategy
Structure, not invention
The 13-lesson sequence maps onto the 7 cognitive lenses already used to tag the 57 modules (Reasoning, Advocacy, Analytics, Safety, Education, Operations, Meta-Design) — the course surfaces an existing taxonomy rather than inventing a new one. Lessons 1–9 teach the core cognitive engine; Lessons 10–13 extend into specialization, systems thinking, and mastery, giving all 57 modules a clear conceptual home instead of forcing every module into the original 9.
Dual-track by default
Every lesson carries a 🩺 clinician box and a 💻 techie box at each major concept — mirroring the EBM course's "for non-medical readers" translation layer, applied consistently rather than as an occasional aside.
One worked example per lesson
Every lesson must ground its concept in at least one concrete case (a real prompt, a real transcript excerpt, or a constructed worked case) — no lesson should explain a concept only in the abstract.
Homework continuity
Each lesson's homework should feed the next lesson's worked example, the same way the EBM course carries one patient case from Lesson 1 through Lesson 9.
One visual theme, shared with the EBM course
This course intentionally reuses the same paper-and-teal design system as Evidence-Based Medicine, From First Principles — same fonts (Source Serif 4 / Inter / IBM Plex Mono), same color tokens, same dual-track box, callout, prompt-block, and homework components. A reader moving between the two sibling courses should feel it's one continuous site, not two separately designed ones.
VibeRounds badge on every lesson
Every lesson page (not the course plan) opens its <main> with a short callout crediting VibeRounds and Guided Discovery, matching the badge already used throughout the EBM course. Carry this forward automatically on each new lesson — see the exact markup in the callout below.
<span class="label">VibeRounds</span>
This course is built in the spirit of <a href="https://avi33tbtt.github.io/">VibeRounds</a> — Socratic learning (AI that questions rather than answers) and Guided Discovery, part of the wider Clinical Cognition Operating System.

Relationship to the EBM Course
Evidence-Based Medicine, From First Principles
EBM asks "can I trust this evidence?" — this course asks "how did I get from findings to a judgment in the first place?" They are complementary, not sequential: a reader can start with either. Where useful, a lesson here links out to the matching EBM lesson (e.g. Lesson 8 — Evidence & Calibration should link to EBM Lesson 3 on appraising an RCT, and to EBM Lesson 8 on statistics and p-hacking). Both courses share the same dual-track, patient-first teaching voice and the same non-clinical-use disclaimer.
How to Continue This Course
To build the next lesson
see the course plan page and prepare the next chapter
This will: pull the next "pending" row from the tracker above, fetch the listed source modules from the Prompts directory, write the lesson in the same shared EBM-course visual theme as the existing lessons (dual-track boxes, worked example, homework, pager nav, VibeRounds badge at the top of <main>), update this tracker's status to "done," and add a link to the EBM course where the topic overlaps.
To finish and ship
remove the course plan page
This will delete this file, and update Lesson 1's and the final lesson's (now Lesson 13) navigation so neither links to it anymore.
