How-to

Steps that finish the job

A first screen you can act on — not a caption dump and not a feature that is not shipped.

1

Write the definition in one sentence

Approved means you would send the line to someone else. Approval is a gate, not a vibe. If you cannot explain a line without the video, it is still a highlight.

2

Show a counter-example

A raw summary paragraph with no replay is not approved — even if it sounds fluent.

3

Use the checklist on the next video

Pull chapters and questions first, then decide what students must write in their own words. The definition is useless if you only apply it once.

4

Shape the page into the outcome

Do not stop at raw captions. Aim for this shape: a definition, a counter-example, and a one-screen checklist. You can tell a teammate what “approved” means in one sentence.

5

Approve, then optionally persist

Saving raw output without a pass is how caption errors become “facts.” If the page is worth keeping, sign in at /note and save only the pins you approve.
