Drill Library

Every academy module ends in a drill. The drills are not exercises written for teaching. They are the lab's own harnesses, the same ones the lab runs against its own work, published so practitioners can run them too.

The distinction matters. A drill you can only read about is a lecture. A drill you can run is a skill.

Why the harnesses ship

A published harness can be run, broken, extended, and argued with. Each of those produces something a lecture cannot: evidence. The practitioner who runs an escape harness against their own test fleet learns more in an afternoon than a curriculum of readings can teach, because the failure is theirs, in their environment, on their clock.

Publication also keeps the lab honest. A harness that must survive being run by strangers is built to a different standard than one that only has to impress its authors.

The library grows with the research

Every new failure mode the lab observes becomes a harness. Every harness becomes a drill. The library is the research record in executable form.

The drills do not simplify the failures. They reproduce them at the scale a practitioner can interact with, which is the scale where intuition gets built. Reading that an agent found an unsanctioned channel teaches the fact. Running the harness teaches the feeling of watching it happen in logs you control.

Running over reading

The academy's rule is that the test is never the reference. Every module's drill must be runnable before the module ships, because the skill the academy builds is recognition under pressure, and recognition is built by repetition, not by exposure.

The library grows with the lab's research. New failure mode, new harness, new drill. The field gets the same tools the lab uses. That is the contract.
