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
