| Gate | Check | Pass | Fail |

| ----------- | -------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------- |

| 1. Title | Reflects framework? | "AI Coding Revolution" | "Introduction to AI" |

| 2. Language | Matches proficiency? | A2: simple, no jargon | A2 with technical terms |

| 3. Themes | All 5-7 covered? | Each theme with data | Themes missing |

| 4. Tone | Matches spec? | Encouraging (not academic) | Wrong emotional framing |

| 5. Count | Within range? | A2: 12-15, B1: 15-20 | Outside range |

| 6. Arc | Progression clear? | problem → action | Random sequence |

| 7. Ending | Actionable? | Specific tasks | "Keep learning!" |

Score: 7/7 → Deploy | <7/7 → Iterate with refined prompt

Format: chapter-{NN}-slides.pdf (zero-padded)

```bash

# Example

mv ~/Downloads/"The-AI-Revolution.pdf" \

"apps/learn-app/static/slides/chapter-01-slides.pdf"

```

Add to chapter README frontmatter:

```yaml

---

title: "Chapter 1: Title"

slides:

source: "slides/chapter-01-slides.pdf"

title: "Chapter 1: Title"

height: 700

---

```

Build-time plugin auto-injects PDFViewer before "What You'll Learn".

For 3+ chapters:

1. Create ALL notebooks first (before generating)
2. Upload sources for all chapters
3. Prepare all prompts in text editor
4. Generate Chapter N → prepare N+1 prompt while waiting
5. Download when ready → start next immediately

Daily limit: 3-5 chapters/day (NotebookLM enforced)

| Issue | Solution |

| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |

| Generation stuck >30 min | Check browser console, verify no daily limit message |

| Text-heavy slides | Add explicit "3-5 bullets, NOT paragraphs" |

| Generic title | Include example engaging title in prompt |

| Missing themes | List all themes numbered with specific data |

| Daily limit hit | Wait 24h (midnight PT reset), notebooks persist |

| Don't | Why | Do Instead |

| -------------------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |

| Vague audience | NotebookLM can't calibrate | "A2 beginners with no programming" |

| Skip framework | Generic output | Explicit 3-5 principles |

| Single-word tone | Ambiguous | "Encouraging (not intimidating)" |

| Leave format default | Text-heavy slides | Explicit bullet count |

| Vague endings | No student action | Specific next steps |
