Design apprenticeship and mentor-led transfer for tacit skills through shared work, observation rubrics, and transfer tests. Use when the user wants to build onboarding, pair practice, or expert-to-novice transmission.

Design Apprenticeship Transfer

Core judgment: tacit knowledge transfers through shared practice before it transfers through explanation.

Use When

  • The user wants to build onboarding for judgment-heavy work
  • A mentor, lead, clinician, or senior operator needs to train a novice
  • Pairing exists, but improvement is inconsistent or impossible to evaluate

Use a Real Task

Pick a live task or a realistic simulation with stakes, constraints, and visible output.

Do not anchor the apprenticeship around passive watching alone.

Workflow

1. Build the Progression

Use this sequence:

  1. observe the expert on a real task
  2. shadow with commentary at key decision points
  3. assign partial ownership
  4. assign independent execution
  5. run a transfer test on a new case

2. Score What Matters

Evaluate:

  • cue recognition
  • decision quality
  • handling of uncertainty
  • escalation timing
  • ability to transfer to a new case

If you need a format, read references/pairing-rubric-template.md.

3. Keep Feedback Local

Feedback should point to specific missed cues, weak decisions, or premature confidence.

Avoid vague comments like "needs more judgment."

Output

Return:

  • apprenticeship plan
  • stage progression
  • observation rubric
  • transfer test
  • pass or fail criteria

Do Not

  • confuse exposure with learning
  • score only polish or confidence
  • call it complete before a new-case transfer test

Grouped from the skills themselves: near-identical wordings counted once, and counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Length counted with cl100k_base; the agent that loads this file may tokenize it differently.

Skills are one crate of 328,083. Ordering is by how many stacks a row turns up in, so the top of any crate is what has actually been picked rather than what has the most stars.
