{{title}} {{type}} {{description}}

Workflow

1. Read data/courses/index.ts to see which courses exist, then read the relevant course file (e.g. data/courses/a2a.ts) to find the correct insertion point.
2. Add a new entry to the parts array in the course file with:
   • slug — kebab-case, unique within the course
   • title — from input above
   • type — from input above
   • duration — estimated (e.g. "5 min read", "12:34")
   • description — from input above
   • Type-specific fields (e.g. videoId for video, gistId for article)
3. Check app/[course]/[part]/page.tsx — this is the dynamic route that renders all parts. If you're adding a new type of content not yet handled, update the rendering logic there.
4. Verify the new lesson is reachable and the build passes.

Required fields by part type

Match the actual CoursePartMeta type definition in data/courses/types.ts — check it before adding.

Guardrails

• Never duplicate slugs — check existing parts within the course first.
• Ordering matters — insert at the correct position for the learning flow.
• Use CoursePlayerLayout for the wrapping layout (not TutorialLayout).
• All internal links include the course prefix — /{{courseSlug}}/{{partSlug}}/.
• Static export safe — no useRouter, no getServerSideProps, no fetch in render.
• Run get_errors on modified files, then npm run build to verify.
