# Course Content Creator

Create comprehensive educational materials for technology courses covering Claude Code, Vibe coding, n8n, programming, and related technologies.

## Setup

Before using the scripts, install required Python dependencies:

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

For infographic generation, set the OpenRouter API key:

```bash
# Windows
set OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Linux/Mac
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
```

## Core Workflows

### 1. Creating Course Schedules (Cronogramas)

Generate detailed, multi-module course schedules with complete learning objectives, activities, and assessments.

**Process:**
1. Identify the main topic and scope
2. Read `assets/cronograma_template.md` as the base structure
3. Read `references/course_topics.md` for technology-specific context
4. Read `references/content_structure.md` for structural guidance
5. Create detailed schedule with:
   - Clear learning objectives
   - Module breakdown with durations
   - Individual lesson plans with topics and activities
   - Practical exercises and projects
   - Assessment criteria
   - Required tools and resources

**Output:** Full markdown document with very detailed content including code examples and hands-on activities.

### 2. Creating Technology Summaries

Generate comprehensive summaries of technologies with concepts, examples, and best practices.

**Process:**
1. Identify the technology (Claude Code, n8n, Vibe coding, etc.)
2. Read `assets/resumo_template.md` as the base structure
3. Read `references/course_topics.md` for existing technology information
4. If user provides URL, use `scripts/fetch_url_content.py` to extract content first
5. Create detailed summary with:
   - Introduction and use cases
   - Fundamental concepts and terminology
   - Main features with practical examples
   - Installation and setup instructions
   - Code examples (basic, intermediate, advanced)
   - Best practices and common pitfalls
   - Additional resources

**Output:** Complete markdown document with rich technical detail and multiple code examples.

### 3. Generating Lesson Ideas

Create structured lesson themes with objectives, activities, and resources.

**Process:**
1. Understand the topic area and target audience
2. Read `references/content_structure.md` section "Estrutura de Tema/Ideia de Aula"
3. Generate lesson idea with:
   - Compelling title
   - Learning objectives
   - Proposed structure with time allocations
   - Required resources
   - Practical exercises

**Output:** Markdown document with complete lesson plan structure.

### 4. Creating Educational Infographics

Generate visual educational content using the OpenRouter API.

**Process:**
1. Understand the concept to visualize
2. Read `references/content_structure.md` section "Estrutura de Infográfico" for prompt guidance
3. Craft detailed prompt following the pattern:
   - Educational style
   - Key concepts (3-5 main points)
   - Professional color scheme
   - Clear visual hierarchy
   - Icons and illustrations
4. Use `scripts/generate_infographic.py` to generate the image
5. Save to `assets/infographics/` or project location

**Script usage:**
```bash
python scripts/generate_infographic.py "Create an educational infographic about [TOPIC] with modern design, including [KEY POINTS], using professional colors, vertical layout with clear hierarchy" --output path/to/infographic.png
```

**Requirements:**
- OPENROUTER_API_KEY environment variable must be set
- Script handles base64 conversion automatically

### 5. Processing URLs for Content

Extract content from documentation, articles, or tutorials to incorporate into course materials.

**Process:**
1. Use `scripts/fetch_url_content.py` to extract content
2. Parse and structure the extracted information
3. Integrate relevant parts into the course material being created

**Script usage:**
```bash
python scripts/fetch_url_content.py "https://example.com/article" --output extracted_content.md
```

**Supported content types:**
- Official documentation
- Technical articles and tutorials
- Blog posts
- Any HTML-based content

## Best Practices

1. **Detail Level:** Always create very detailed content with complete examples, not just outlines
2. **Code Examples:** Include practical, working code examples in appropriate languages
3. **Hands-on Focus:** Emphasize practical activities and real-world applications
4. **Progressive Learning:** Structure content from basic to advanced
5. **Resource Links:** Include relevant documentation and community resources
6. **Visual Support:** Suggest or create infographics for complex concepts
7. **Assessment:** Always include evaluation criteria and practical projects

## Technology Context

For detailed information about specific technologies, always read:
- `references/course_topics.md` - Core technologies covered in courses
- User-provided URLs when available

## Templates and References

**Templates (in `assets/`):**
- `cronograma_template.md` - Full course schedule structure
- `resumo_template.md` - Technology summary structure

**References (in `references/`):**
- `course_topics.md` - Technology information and concepts
- `content_structure.md` - Structural patterns for all content types

**Scripts (in `scripts/`):**
- `fetch_url_content.py` - Extract content from URLs
- `generate_infographic.py` - Create educational infographics via API

## Example Requests

"Crie um cronograma completo sobre Claude Code para iniciantes"
→ Read templates and references, create detailed multi-module schedule

"Faça um resumo detalhado sobre n8n com exemplos práticos"
→ Read templates and topics, create comprehensive technology summary

"Gere um infográfico sobre os conceitos principais de Vibe coding"
→ Create detailed prompt and use generate_infographic.py script

"Extraia o conteúdo desta URL e crie material de aula sobre o tema"
→ Use fetch_url_content.py first, then create appropriate course material

## Output Format

All course materials are delivered in markdown format with:
- Clear heading hierarchy
- Code blocks with syntax highlighting
- Emoji icons for visual organization
- Structured lists and tables
- Rich detail with examples and explanations
