Automation and toolmaking
Build a local data tool with previews, repeatable checks and recovery.
Four lessons and an independent integrated task. Allow roughly 15–25 minutes per lesson, plus time for projects and delayed retries.

Course contents
- Decide what to automate
Estimate benefit and maintenance; choose one manual check.
- Preview before applying
Map five file records including one collision; state stopping conditions.
- Reason about retries
Run normal, duplicate-ID and interrupted-retry scenarios; record results.
- Log, export and recover
Test malformed input, duplicate IDs and corrected export in the local workbench; write recovery instructions.
- Integrated task and acceptance
Build an id,value CSV checker. Input a,2; b,4; a,2; c,invalid must fail clearly. Correct to a,2; b,4; c,6, preview and export; test cancellation and reruns.
No login required. Exercises include explanations; open work uses self-check criteria without automatic grading or certification.

Open the local CSV workbenchHow do I retain independent judgment when using AI here?
Keep your own answer before consulting an AI candidate. Check sources, calculations, inference and conditions; explain adoption or rejection. Then solve a new-context task independently and apply the checks to this lesson.
