# Skill: Book Scaffolding and Structure Planning **Purpose**: Plan, structure, and scaffold large educational books using cognitive load management, just-in-time specification, and pedagogical best practices. **Constitution Alignment**: v4.0.1 emphasizing: - **Principle 1**: Specification Primacy ("Specs Are the New Syntax") - **Section IIa**: Panaversity 4-Layer Teaching Method (progressive lesson structure) - **Section IIb**: AI Three Roles Framework (bidirectional co-learning partnership) - **Nine Pillars** (Section I): AI CLI, Markdown, MCP, AI-First IDEs, Cross-Platform, TDD, SDD, Composable Skills, Cloud-Native - **Principle 4**: Coherent Pedagogical Structure (flexible lesson counts based on concept density) **Status**: Reusable skill (learned from 002-book-structure sprint, enhanced with structural patterns) **Application**: Any multi-part, multi-chapter educational work --- ## Core Principles (9 Learnings from Sprint) ### 1. Just-In-Time Specification ("Specs Are the New Syntax") ❌ **DON'T**: Decide everything upfront. Block on all clarifications before moving forward. ✅ **DO**: Spec what's needed now. Defer part-specific clarifications to when that part is ready for planning. **Why**: Unblocks work immediately. Clarifications arrive exactly when needed (during chapter-planner phase). Respects SDD loop: **Spec → Plan → Implement per part (one at a time)**. **KEY**: Specification writing is the PRIMARY skill. Book structure scaffolds specification-first learni
