# Karpathy Output Ladder (Rungs 1–3)
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
Turn any "explain / teach / show me" request into a three-step escalation, in order of
|
||
expressiveness and effort:
|
||
|
||
- **Rung 1 — Controlled text.** A short, unambiguous explanation written to the ASD-STE100
|
||
controlled-English rules (see `references/ste100.md`).
|
||
- **Rung 2 — Diagram.** One SVG or Mermaid diagram that shows the structure, **with the
|
||
single most uncertain or assumption-heavy part visibly flagged**.
|
||
- **Rung 3 — Interactive page.** One self-contained HTML file (inline CSS + JS, no external
|
||
dependencies) that lets the reader explore the topic through tabs, accordions, or toggles.
|
||
|
||
Each rung builds on the previous one. A diagram that contradicts the text, or an HTML page
|
||
that drops the flagged uncertainty, is a failed deliverable. Always deliver rungs in
|
||
sequence and carry the "least-certain" marker up the ladder.
|
||
|
||
## When to Use
|
||
|
||
Trigger this skill when the user:
|
||
|
||
- Asks to explain, teach, clarify, or "show" a concept, mechanism, or process.
|
||
- Says "make a diagram / chart / visual" alongside an explanation.
|
||
- Wants a standalone HTML explainer, interactive page, or long-scroll infographic.
|
||
- References Karpathy's output ladder, the "writing hierarchy", or "rungs" of LLM output.
|
||
- Wants a topic rendered at increasing fidelity (words → picture → interactive).
|
||
|
||
If the user wants only one rung (e.g. "just a diagram"), still apply the relevant rung's
|
||
rules below, but skip the others.
|
||
|
||
## Workflow
|
||
|
||
### Rung 1 — Controlled text (always first)
|
||
|
||
Write the explanation before drawing anything. Follow `references/ste100.md`:
|
||
|
||
- Procedural (instruction) sentences: ≤ 20 words. Descriptive sentences: ≤ 25 words.
|
||
- Each paragraph: ≤ 6 sentences.
|
||
- Prefer active voice. Use one word for one meaning. Keep noun clusters ≤ 3 words.
|
||
- Use approved verbs (check, start, stop, use, show, open, close, set, get, make, …).
|
||
- No metaphors, no hype words, no double negatives.
|
||
|
||
Output a compact block of 3–8 sentences that a non-expert can parse. This block becomes the
|
||
caption / intro for Rung 2 and the summary panel for Rung 3.
|
||
|
||
### Rung 2 — Diagram with a "least-certain" flag
|
||
|
||
Pick the single diagram that carries the idea:
|
||
|
||
- **Flow / process / decision** → Mermaid `flowchart` or `sequenceDiagram`.
|
||
- **State machine / lifecycle** → Mermaid `stateDiagram-v2`.
|
||
- **Spatial / custom / branded** → hand-written inline SVG (viewBox `0 0 680 …`).
|
||
|
||
Rules:
|
||
|
||
- One concept per diagram. Label every node in plain words.
|
||
- **Mark the least-certain part**: dashed border + a `⚠ least certain` tag, or a muted
|
||
color, so the reader sees where the explanation is weakest. This is mandatory, not
|
||
optional — it is the core discipline of the ladder.
|
||
- Keep it minimal; do not decorate.
|
||
|
||
If the diagram would need more than ~12 nodes to be honest, split it or fall back to text.
|
||
|
||
### Rung 3 — Self-contained interactive HTML
|
||
|
||
Copy `assets/html-template/index.html` as the starting point. Then:
|
||
|
||
- Keep everything inline: `<style>` in `<head>`, `<script>` at end of `<body>`. No CDN,
|
||
no `<link href>`, no build step. The file must open from `file://` with zero network.
|
||
- Structure the page: a one-line title, the Rung-1 summary, the Rung-2 diagram (embed the
|
||
SVG/Mermaid), then interactive sections (tabs or accordion) that expand each part.
|
||
- Add at least one real interaction: tab switch, accordion open/close, hover reveal, or a
|
||
scroll-triggered fade. Prefer subtle motion over spectacle.
|
||
- Keep the "least-certain" flag visible in the page (a callout box that links to the
|
||
diagram's dashed node).
|
||
- Include `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">` and a
|
||
dark/light-safe color scheme.
|
||
- Target a single file under ~80 KB. If larger, move sample data out or trim.
|
||
|
||
Deliver the HTML file via `present_files` so the user gets a live preview.
|
||
|
||
## Acceptance Checklist
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Rung 1 text obeys the STE100 length and voice rules.
|
||
- [ ] Rung 2 diagram exists and flags exactly one least-certain part.
|
||
- [ ] Rung 3 HTML is one self-contained file, opens offline, and surfaces the flag.
|
||
- [ ] The three rungs agree with each other (no contradictions).
