  1. Prompt rewrite. Take a real task you'd phrase in one line, rewrite it with the template (Goal / Context / Boundaries / Done when). Run both versions in separate chats on the same starting state. Post both diffs and two sentences on the difference.
  2. The real error drill. Find or introduce a bug. Ask the agent to fix it twice: once with "it doesn't work, fix it," once with the pasted stack trace. Compare convergence. Post the comparison.
  3. Rollback drill. Let the agent make a change, commit, let it make a second change that you then decide against. Roll back to the commit — via the agent, reading its commands before approving. Post the command sequence it proposed.
  4. Secrets audit. Add a .env with a fake key to your project. Verify it's gitignored. Then ask the agent to audit the repo for secrets — and verify its answer with git status yourself.
  5. Done-criteria check. For your Assignment feature, write the "done" definition before starting and post it in the group channel — you'll check against it at the end of the week.
