Key Principles

1. No Content Loss

Every valuable insight from source materials must be captured in the analysis phase and transferred to the final guide.

2. Single Source of Truth

Each topic should be analyzed once, thoroughly. The analysis documents become the reference for chapter writing.

3. Iterative Refinement

The syllabus may change after topic analysis. This is expected and encouraged.

4. Quality Gates

Each phase has a validation step. Don't proceed to next phase until current phase passes quality criteria.

5. Traceability

Every claim in the final guide should trace back to:

• Original article
• Interview answer
• External citation (Karpathy, Chroma Research, etc.)

Estimated Effort

| Phase | Steps | Estimated Time | |-------|-------|----------------| | Analysis | 1-3 | 2-3 hours | | Preparation | 4-5 | 1-2 hours | | Execution | 6 | 3-5 hours | | Validation | 7-8 | 1-2 hours | | Total | | 7-12 hours |

How to Use This Plan

1. Read this overview first
2. Execute steps in order (1 → 8)
3. For each step:
   • Read the corresponding document
   • Follow the process described
   • Create the required outputs
   • Verify against quality criteria
4. If issues found in validation, loop back to relevant step
5. Final output: Single markdown file ready for PDF conversion
