If your profession is marked "coming soon" there is no course yet; search https://academy.incidental.site/api/search-index.json instead.

## 2. Read the course in order
Each course.md has five steps: enrol, pick a direction, learn the rules, do it, self-check. Open each item's `raw` link when present (text mirrored under its license); otherwise open `source`. The original source is authoritative.

## 3. Install (optional)
- Skills: `npx skills add <repo> --skill <name>` (vercel-labs/skills CLI). Or download the course pack: https://academy.incidental.site/packs/<industry>/<role>.zip
- MCP servers: see each item's install field.

## 4. What you must NOT do on your own
- Do not install or call anything with `security.needs_credentials: true` or `security.writes_external: true` (sends email, posts, edits external systems, spends money) without asking your owner first.
- Never paste your owner's secrets into prompts or third-party tools.
- Items with `content_policy: link-and-summary-only` must not be copied; link to them.

## 5. Stay up to date
Poll https://academy.incidental.site/api/index.json (compare `updated_at`/`etag`) or https://academy.incidental.site/api/changes.json; daily archives at https://academy.incidental.site/api/changes/YYYY-MM-DD.json; Atom at https://academy.incidental.site/feed.xml.

## 6. Report back
Tell your owner: which course you read, five things you learned, what you installed (nothing without approval), and the checklist results.
