Key File
dojos.html — main page listing all 6 series with session details.
Adding a New Session
- Open
dojos.html
- Find the appropriate series section (e.g.,
S01)
- Add the session card following the existing HTML pattern in that series
- Update the session count in the stats bar at the top
- Update
data/search-index.json if the session is significant enough to be searchable
- Update
docs/dojos-guide.md with the new session details
Adding a New Series
- Create a new series section in
dojos.html following the existing pattern
- Assign the next series code (e.g.,
S07)
- Add all sessions within the series
- Update the stats bar (total sessions count, series count)
- Update content counts across:
index.html, catalog.html, docs/platform-overview.md
- Add entries to
data/search-index.json
- Update
docs/dojos-guide.md
- Update
docs/changelog.md
Content Guidelines
- Sessions should be practice-based — participants do, not just listen
- Each session needs a clear skill outcome (what can you do after this?)
- Use South Asian development context for examples and case studies
- Frame around practitioner challenges, not academic theory
- Session titles should be action-oriented (e.g., "Calibrating Your Confidence" not "Confidence Calibration Theory")
