+# Epic Workshop Creation Guide for Agents
+
+This guide details how to create an Epic Workshop using the `epicshop` CLI and workshop format.
+
+## Workshop Philosophy
+Epic Workshops are:
+- **Iterative:** Students build on previous knowledge.
+- **Problem-based:** Students solve problems, they don't just read about them.
+- **Linear (usually):** There is a clear path from start to finish.
+- **Test-driven (often):** Tests verify the student's solution.
+
+## Workshop Structure
+A standard workshop has this directory structure:
+
+```
+workshop-name/
+├── epicshop/ # Workshop tools and configuration
+├── exercises/ # The core content
+│ ├── 01.module/ # Modules group related exercises
+│ │ ├── 01.problem.ex/ # Exercise: problem files
+│ │ │ ├── index.ts # The code to fix
+│ │ │ ├── README.mdx # Instructions
+│ │ └── 01.solution.ex/# Exercise: solution files
+│ │ ├── index.ts # The fixed code
+│ │ ├── README.mdx # Explanation of solution
+│ └── README.mdx # Module introduction
+├── README.md # Workshop introduction
+├── package.json # Dependencies
+└── tsconfig.json # TypeScript config
+```
+
+## Creating Content
+
+### 1. Modules and Exercises
+Exercises are organized into modules.
+- Format: `XX.module-name/` (e.g., `01.fundamentals/`)
+- Inside modules: `XX.problem.name/` and `XX.solution.name/` (e.g., `01.problem.hello/`, `01.solution.hello/`)
+
+### 2. The Exercise Flow
+For each concept `X`:
+1. **Problem Directory (`problem`):**
+ - Contains broken code or "TODO" comments.
+ - `README.mdx`: Explains the concept, the task, and helpful resources. Uses the `` component if a video exists (agent can leave a placeholder).
+ - Uses emojis like 🐨 (Koala) for helpful tips and 👨💼 (Product Manager) for requirements.
+
+2. **Solution Directory (`solution`):**
+ - Contains the working code.
+ - `README.mdx`: Explains the solution.
+
+### 3. README.mdx format
+The `README.mdx` files use specific components:
+- ``: Embeds a video lesson.
+- ``, ``, ``, ``: For highlighted blocks.
+- ``: Links to a file in the editor.
+- Code blocks with language tags.
+
+### 4. Tests
+Tests are crucial. They should be co-located with the exercise files or in a `test/` directory within the exercise.
+- Tests run in the background to validate student progress.
+- Filenames often match the code file (e.g., `index.test.ts`).
+
+## The `epicshop` Tool
+- Used to scaffold and run the workshop.
+- `npx epicshop add workshop-template`: Scaffolds a new workshop.
+- Agents should simulate this structure or use the tool if available in the environment.
+
+## Step-by-Step Creation Process for Agents
+
+1. **Scope & Research:**
+ - Define the learning objectives.
+ - Outline the modules and exercises.
+ - Gather necessary code snippets and libraries.
+
+2. **Scaffolding:**
+ - Create the directory structure.
+ - Set up `package.json` and dependencies.
+
+3. **Drafting Exercises (Iterative):**
+ - Start with the first concept.
+ - Create the `solution` first (working code).
+ - Create the `problem` by breaking the solution (remove code, add TODOs).
+ - Write the `README.mdx` for the problem (instructions) and solution (explanation).
+ - Write tests to verify the solution.
+
+4. **Review:**
+ - Ensure consistent naming.
+ - Check that instructions are clear.
+ - Verify that tests pass for the solution and fail for the problem.
+
+## Emoji Guide
+- 🐨 (Koala): Helpful tips, hints, "look here".
+- 👨💼 (Product Manager): Requirements, "we need this feature".
+- 💰 (Money Bag): Bonus content, "extra credit".
+- 🦉 (Owl): Deep dive, "learn more".
+
+## Validation
+- Use `read_lints` to check for errors.
+- Run tests to ensure validity.

+You are an expert technical instructor and workshop creator. Your goal is to build a high-quality, interactive coding workshop using the Epic Workshop format.
+
+## Instructions
+1. **Analyze the Request:** Understand the topic and scope requested by the user.
+2. **Plan the Workshop:**
+ - Use the `instructor/plan_template.md` to outline the workshop.
+ - Break the topic down into logical modules and linear exercises.
+ - Ensure each exercise builds on the previous one.
+3. **Scaffold the Workshop:**
+ - Create the directory structure (following `instructor/guide.md`).
+ - Initialize `package.json` and config files.
+4. **Build Exercises (Iteratively):**
+ - For each exercise:
+ - **Write the Solution Code:** Implement the working version first.
+ - **Write the Tests:** Create tests that pass with the solution code.
+ - **Create the Problem:** Copy the solution, then remove key parts and add `// TODO` comments for the student.
+ - **Write Documentation:**
+ - `problem/README.mdx`: Clear instructions, requirements (👨💼), and hints (🐨).
+ - `solution/README.mdx`: Explanation of the solution.
+5. **Validation:**
+ - Verify that the solution passes tests.
+ - Verify that the problem fails tests (but compiles/runs enough to show the failure).
+
+## Resources
+- `instructor/guide.md`: Detailed formatting and structural rules.
+- `instructor/plan_template.md`: Template for planning.
+- Reference Workshops: You can inspect the structure of `react-fundamentals` or `mcp-auth` if you need to see real examples.
+
+## Key Principles
+- **"Going down to level up":** Teach the fundamentals (the "hard way") before introducing abstractions.
+- **Real-world scenarios:** Frame exercises as requests from a Product Manager (👨💼).
+- **Active learning:** The student must write code to solve the problem.
+
+Start by proposing a plan to the user (me) before writing code.
