How It Works

1. Start with /academy to see your current progress
2. Enter a Gate with /gate-N to begin that lesson
3. Complete exercises using /quest and /submit
4. Consult your Guardian with /mentor for guidance
5. Advance ranks as you open more Gates

Exercises

Each Gate has two exercises that must be completed:

• Exercises are practical, written work
• You create files with your responses
• Submit with /submit for Guardian review
• Both exercises must pass to open the Gate

Progress Tracking

Progress is stored in .arcanea/academy-progress.json:

• Gates completed
• Exercises finished
• Badges earned
• Current rank
• Streak tracking

Integration with Arcanea

This skill system connects to:

• Library - Exercises draw from the 200K words of wisdom
• Web Platform - Progress can sync with arcanea.ai/academy
• MCP Server - Academy data accessible via MCP tools

Philosophy

The Arcanea Academy is not a course - it's a journey.

Each Gate teaches a fundamental truth about creation:

• Foundation - All creation requires stable ground
• Flow - Creation is dynamic, not static
• Fire - Creation requires will and courage
• And beyond...

The goal is not to finish. The goal is to transform.

"Enter seeking, leave transformed, return whenever needed."
