Craig's AI Education Project — Organized to Minimize Index File Churn
Do these first. They are standalone or near-standalone. Completing them gives a clean baseline before content work begins.
| Pri | Type | Task | File(s) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HOUSE | v/ - Ad Add Day 10 diary entry to diary index | ../project-diary.html |
Add link to 2026-03-01-PROJECT-DIARY.html using wrapper pattern. Addendum already exists: addendum/2026-03-01-my-WWNTD-10.txt |
|
| HOUSE | v/ - Add Day 11 diary entry to diary index (end of today) | ../project-diary.html |
Do this at end of today's session. Addendum already exists: addendum/2026-03-02-my-WWNTD-11.txt |
|
| DECIDE | v/ - Filename typos — rename or document as-is | learning/AI-A-General-Undersanding.htmllearning/AI-Learing-Plan-For-Beginners.html |
Option A: rename files + update all links. Option B: accept typos, add HTML comment. Links currently work because they reference the typo spelling. Decision needed before building more links to these files. | |
| HOUSE | v/ - Remove tilde backup file | ../project-diary.html~ |
Editor backup. Safe to delete: rm collaboration/project-diary.html~ |
|
| HOUSE | v/ - Remove tilde backup file | learning/learning-index.html~ |
Same — editor backup. Safe to delete. | |
| HOUSE | v/ - Resolve duplicate how-to-use-this-site files | learning/03-01_how-to-use-this-site.htmllearning/how-to-use-this-site.html |
Two versions exist (20175 vs 20949 bytes). The larger is presumably current. Verify, then archive or delete the dated one. | |
| DECIDE | v/ - 65KB mashup file — archive or delete | learning/SAVED/AI-A-General-Undersanding-mashup.html |
Already in SAVED/. All content extracted (Days 7). Safe to leave archived or delete. No active links point to it. | |
| HOUSE | v/ - Update "Last updated" dates site-wide | Multiple pages showing Feb 17–22 dates | about.html (Feb 19), collaboration-index.html (Feb 22), learning-index.html (Mar 1 — OK). Quick grep to find stale dates. | |
| HOUSE | v/ - Run vnu validation on Days 9–10 files | deep-dive/deep-dive-index.html, deep-dive/advanced-topics.html, learning/introduction-to-ai.html, collaboration/building-this-site.html |
Use SCRIPTS/Recursive-vnu.sh. No validation pass done since Day 7. |
|
Next two superseded by : OUSEKEEPING-WORKORDER-DAY12_March06 | ||||
| HOUSE | Check for unlinked HTML pages | Run SCRIPTS/CK-Unlikedk-HTML-pages.sh |
Script exists. Good time to run it now that architecture is stable. | |
| HOUSE | Duplicate files in root vs learning/ | ./AI-Cat_use_List_ai-x.html also in learning/./AI_learning_plan_ai-x.html also in learning/ |
Root copies are pre-refactor era. Decide: remove from root and redirect, or leave as-is. Low urgency. | |
Build ALL tool pages first, then do ONE update to deep-dive/deep-dive-index.html to add the entire "AI for Unix/Linux" section. This avoids multiple index edits.
deep-dive/deep-dive-index.html → fill "AI for Unix/Linux" placeholder | AI-NEW.html → no change needed (deep-dive card already there)deep-dive/deep-dive-index.html (Feb 28, 14KB).
Directory: deep-dive/ contains only advanced-topics.html + deep-dive-index.html + symlink.
No tool pages exist yet.
| Pri | Type | Task | Filename | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEW | GitHub Copilot — AI code completion in editors | deep-dive/ai-tool-copilot.html |
What it does, how to use it, tips & guide, examples. Editor integration focus (VS Code, vim, etc.) | |
| NEW | aider — AI pair programming for terminal | deep-dive/ai-tool-aider.html |
Terminal-native. Show real workflow: edit files, commit, iterate with AI in the shell. Sysadmin angle. | |
| NEW | Shell GPT (sgpt) — CLI interface to GPT models | deep-dive/ai-tool-sgpt.html |
Direct CLI usage. Shell integration, one-liners, piping output. Very sysadmin-relevant. | |
| NEW | fabric — CLI tool for AI workflows | deep-dive/ai-tool-fabric.html |
Pattern-based AI workflows. Show patterns relevant to sysadmin work. | |
| DECIDE | Select additional CLI tools to document | TBD — discuss and select | Candidates to discuss: ollama (run LLMs locally), llm (Simon Willison's CLI), gpt4all, mods (AI for terminal), ttok (token counter). Craig's hands-on experience should guide selection. | |
| NEW | AI CLI Tools Hub / Index page | deep-dive/ai-cli-tools.html |
Landing page for the tool collection. Card-per-tool layout. Build AFTER all individual tool pages are done. Single index update to deep-dive-index.html after this. | |
| UPDATE | Fill "AI for Unix/Linux" placeholder in deep-dive index | deep-dive/deep-dive-index.html |
Replace "Coming Soon" with real cards linking to tool hub + individual pages. Do this ONE TIME after all tool pages are built. |
Build new learning content pages first, then do ONE update to learning/learning-index.html.
learning/learning-index.htmllearning/ contains 11 files. learning-index.html exists (11KB, Mar 1).
Unlinked candidates: AI_and_LLM-Learning-Companion.html (20KB) — good content, not in hub.
Recommended_Learning_Path-AI-LLM.html (21KB, Oct 19) — old but may have reusable content.
| Pri | Type | Task | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UPDATE | Add AI & LLM Learning Companion to learning hub | learning/learning-index.html |
AI_and_LLM-Learning-Companion.html (19KB) exists on disk but is not linked from the hub. Good content — add it. |
|
| DECIDE | Review old Recommended Learning Path | learning/Recommended_Learning_Path-AI-LLM.html |
21KB, Oct 19 vintage. Review: does it have content worth keeping/updating, or is it superseded by newer pages? Either link it or archive it. | |
| NEW | Glossary of AI Terms | learning/ai-glossary.html |
Planned in PROJECT-STRUCTURE.html from Day 1. Extract terms from existing pages. Alphabetical, linked from hub. | |
| NEW | Episode 1 expansion — AI misconceptions | learning/introduction-to-ai.html (expand) or new companion page |
Current intro is solid. Could add a "Top 10 AI Myths" companion page. |
Diary entries are already handled (Cat A). These are content expansions. Build all, then update collaboration-index.html once.
collaboration/collaboration-index.htmlcollaboration/ is well-stocked. AI-as-work-partner.html (25KB, Feb 18) exists but may not be linked from the hub — verify.
building-this-site.html (24KB, Mar 1) — Episode 4, new.
| Pri | Type | Task | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UPDATE | Verify AI-as-work-partner.html is linked from hub | collaboration/collaboration-index.html |
File exists (Feb 18, 25KB) but Day 8 diary noted it may be missing from hub. Quick check + fix if needed. | |
| NEW | Prompting Patterns for SysAdmins | collaboration/prompting-for-sysadmins.html |
Craig's 40 years of context = unique angle. Real prompts used in actual admin work: script debugging, log analysis, man page explanations, config troubleshooting. | |
| NEW | Context Management — How to Feed AI the Right Info | collaboration/context-management.html |
Diary-as-context-carrier, tar uploads, session boundaries. The technique this project uses daily — worth documenting explicitly. | |
| CONTENT | Update lessons-learned.html with Days 7–10 insights | collaboration/lessons-learned.html |
Last updated Feb 17. Four more days of learning since then. Add: nested link pattern realization, responsive grid, episode completion milestone. |
The resources/ directory is nearly empty — only the PDF and Suggested-AI-Books.html. This is Phase 2 from the original plan. Build all pages, then create the hub index once.
resources/index.html | AI-NEW.html (add resources card)resources/ contains only 2 items:
Databricks-Big-Book-Of-GenAI-FINAL.pdf (3.9MB) and Suggested-AI-Books.html (5.5KB).
Root level also has duplicate copies of both — consolidation opportunity.
| Pri | Type | Task | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEW | Resources hub index page | resources/index.html |
Hub page linking to all resources. Cards for: Books, PDF, External Links, Tools Comparison. | |
| NEW | AI Tools Comparison page | resources/ai-tools-comparison.html |
Planned from Day 1. Craig's hands-on comparison of Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, etc. Side-by-side strengths/weaknesses from actual use. | |
| NEW | External Links / Reference Sites | resources/external-links.html |
Curated collection. Planned from PROJECT-STRUCTURE.html. Pull from Craig's existing bookmarks/notes. | |
| UPDATE | Review and refresh Suggested-AI-Books.html | resources/Suggested-AI-Books.html |
Jan 24 vintage (5.5KB). Small file — likely needs expansion and styling refresh to match current site look. | |
| HOUSE | Remove duplicate root-level files | Root ./Suggested-AI-Books.html and ./Databricks-Big-Book-Of-GenAI-FINAL.pdf |
Both exist at root AND in resources/. After resources/ hub is built and linked, the root copies can be removed (or symlinked). | |
| UPDATE | Add resources card to landing page | AI-NEW.html |
Currently has 5 cards. Add Resources as 6th once the hub exists. Do this AFTER resources/index.html is built. |
TMA/ content is linked from deep-dive hub. Files were last touched Feb 26 (some updates happened). Assess what needs styling refresh vs. what's fine as-is.
deep-dive/deep-dive-index.html only if links need updatingTMA/AI/ — 10 files, most updated Feb 26. TMA/LLM/ — 5 files, mix of Oct 19 originals and Feb 26 updates.
Pre-refactor copies preserved in pre-refactor/ai-prev/TMA/.
| Pri | Type | Task | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DECIDE | TMA styling — update to match site theme or leave as legacy? | TMA/AI/*.html, TMA/LLM/*.html |
Oct 19 files use old styling. Feb 26 files may have been updated. Decision: batch style refresh, or accept as "legacy deep content" with a header note? Latter saves time. | |
| NEW | TMA/AI/index.html — section landing page | TMA/AI/index.html |
No index exists. Users landing in TMA/AI/ from deep-dive hub have no navigation. Simple card or list index would help. | |
| NEW | TMA/LLM/index.html — section landing page | TMA/LLM/index.html |
Same as above — no index in LLM dir. | |
| CONTENT | Add navigation headers to TMA files | All TMA/*.html files | At minimum, add "← Back to Deep-Dive" link at top. Low effort, high usability gain. Could be done with a script. |
Batch these together — each one touches AI-NEW.html. Do all changes in one editing session to minimize repeated file opens.
AI-NEW.html (multiple changes, do at once)AI-NEW.html → AI-NEW.html (symlink already live! Feb 22). index.html → AI-NEW.html (also symlinked Feb 14).
So the new landing page IS deployed. The "deploy AI-NEW.html" task from the diaries is already done.
| Pri | Type | Task | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HOUSE | Confirm AI-NEW.html symlink — it's already done! | AI-NEW.html → AI-NEW.html |
ls -lR confirms: lrwxrwxrwx AI-NEW.html -> AI-NEW.html (Feb 22). Diary said "deferred" but it's done. Cross off the list. |
|
| UPDATE | Add Resources card (6th card) to landing page | AI-NEW.html |
Do after resources/index.html exists. Batch with any other AI-NEW.html changes. | |
| UPDATE | Update "Last updated" date | AI-NEW.html |
Currently Mar 1. Update to Mar 2 today, batch with other changes. | |
| NEW | Site-wide consistent footer | All major pages | PROJECT-STRUCTURE.html Phase 4 goal. Consistent footer with: AI Home | Episodes | Collaboration | Learning | Deep-Dive | Resources. Could use a server-side include or just a template. | |
| NEW | Breadcrumb navigation on content pages | All content pages | Phase 3 from original plan. "AI Home > Deep-Dive > Tool Name". Low effort per page, high usability. | |
| NEW | Site search functionality | New feature — approach TBD | Could use client-side JS search (lunr.js or similar) or just a well-structured sitemap. Future consideration. |
Good ideas parked here. No urgency. Revisit after Cats A–D are complete.
| Pri | Type | Task | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEW | Day 11 Project Diary | Today's session. Generate at end of day. | |
| CONTENT | AI + AA / Recovery Community angle | Craig is uniquely positioned — using AI to explain AI to a non-technical but highly motivated audience. Could be a collaboration/ page or episode. | |
| NEW | Oracle / Banner ERP + AI angle | 26 years of institutional knowledge. How AI assists with legacy ERP systems, PL/SQL, SAS environments. Niche but valuable for others in similar roles. | |
| NEW | Knowledge Transfer Use Case — The Bigger Picture | Craig's primary mission: 100-page Linux reference library before departure. A page documenting this as an AI use case would be powerful. Different from the efficiency multiplier page — more personal/contextual. | |
| NEW | RSS / diary feed | Simple RSS XML for diary entries. Lets visitors follow the project. | |
| CONTENT | Table of Contents for long pages | advanced-topics.html, working-with-ai.html, building-this-site.html are long. JS-generated TOC would help navigation. |
Organized to batch index updates and minimize re-opening the same files:
| Session | Category | What you do | Index files updated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Today (Day 11) | A — Housekeeping | Tilde files, diary index Day 10, decide on filename typos, vnu pass | project-diary.html (1 update) |
| Day 12 | B — CLI Tools | Build all 4 confirmed tool pages (Copilot, aider, sgpt, fabric) | None yet — hold index update |
| Day 13 | B cont'd + select more tools | Select additional tools, build their pages, build CLI hub page | deep-dive-index.html (1 update, fills placeholder) |
| Day 14 | C — Learning | Glossary, link Learning Companion, review old Recommended Path | learning-index.html (1 update) |
| Day 15 | D — Collaboration | Prompting for SysAdmins page, Context Management page, update lessons-learned | collaboration-index.html (1 update) |
| Day 16+ | E — Resources | Build all resources pages, then hub index, then add card to landing page | resources/index.html (new), AI-NEW.html (1 update) |
| Ongoing | F — TMA, G — Site-wide, H — Future | As time allows | Minimal — batch when ready |
