What file does this skill interact with?

This skill reads and updates the 'outline/module_plan.yml' file to append or modify exercise data.

What is the primary purpose of Exercise Builder?

The primary purpose is to add at least one verifiable exercise to every module of a tutorial, ensuring there is a functional teaching loop with measurable outputs.

Can I use this skill before planning my modules?

No, you should first run a module-planner skill. Exercise Builder requires an existing module plan to be effective.

What prevents exercises from being too vague?

The skill includes a strict guardrail that mandates 'expected_output' and 'verification_steps' for every exercise, preventing 'thinking questions' without objective verification.
