Step 05 scored below corpus mean due to 21 new concepts in a single intro step (limit: 15), an activity density of 1.15 (target: ≥1.6), and 4 callout blocks (limit: 3).

Changes

  • "What it is" trimmed to 3 sentences — YAML frontmatter detail (triggers, permissions, runners) moved to a reference link to Step 7 instead of being enumerated inline on first encounter

  • IMPORTANT callout removed — "Coming from classic Actions? Unlearn these 3 things" converted from a > [!IMPORTANT] + nested <details> block into a plain inline numbered list at the end of "Three things to know"; reduces callout count 4 → 3

  • "Classify these tasks" promoted — exercise moved to immediately follow "Three things to know", before the sample output block; learners now classify agentic vs. standard tasks before seeing the worked example rather than after 900 words of exposition

  • Answer reveal renamed — "Reveal the answers" → "Check your answers" for clearer affordance

…step 05

- Trim "What it is" to 3 sentences; move YAML frontmatter detail to Step 7 reference
- Convert IMPORTANT callout (unlearn 3 things) to inline list → callout count 4→3
- Promote "Classify these tasks" to follow "Three things to know" before sample output
- Rename answer reveal to "Check your answers"
- Remove original duplicate "Classify these tasks" section

Closes #1092
