Technical Deep Dives
Under the Hood
How the pipeline is put together — the stage architecture, the parallel wave, the validator that gates every write, and the instructional design behind the material it produces.
Deep Dive
One Graph, One Thread: Copilot Agents vs. LangGraph
Comparing this repo's VS Code Copilot agent pipeline against its LangGraph port — what it means to make the topology the specification, and what a checkpointer retires.
Deep Dive
Two Runtimes, One Pipeline: Copilot Agents vs. Mastra
Comparing this repo's VS Code Copilot agent pipeline against its Mastra port — what moved from prose to code, what that bought, and what it cost.
Deep Dive
Architecture
How the course-authoring pipeline coordinates specialist agents, enforces correctness, and produces verified course material.
Deep Dive
Mechanical Verification: Why We Don't Trust the AI to Check Itself
How deterministic validation catches structural drift, Bloom misapplication, and terminology inconsistency in AI-generated courses.
Deep Dive
Parallel Pipelines: Exploiting Independence in Course Generation
How the pipeline identifies independent work in course authoring and runs it concurrently without conflicts.
Deep Dive
What Makes a Good Course: Instructional Design as Code
How research-backed pedagogy becomes machine-enforced constraints in an AI course-authoring pipeline.
