Practicum skills

The Practicum has two kinds of skills based on Volumes 1 and 2. All are free. Code uses the MIT license, and text uses CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

Every prompt skill below puts its full instructions in one code block. Use the copy button in the corner and paste the entire block into any AI chat, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another assistant available to you. Every browser tool also includes a chat version in case you cannot open the tool. Look for the "Chat version if you cannot use the browser tool" section on its page.

Browser tools with no installation

Each tool is one file. It calculates on your device and sends no data anywhere. Every tool continues an exercise from the book. You can collect results in My Profile, including completed work, your maturity route stage, and the next step. This data also stays in your browser.

A few skills that work are better than a long list of promises. These tools do not decide for you. They are maps, not verdicts. Do not trust them. Check them. Version: 2026-06-22.
