Summary

Evaluate how to build portable AI skills that deliver guided Git exercises (setup, task, verification) inside any AI chat — Claude CLI, Claude web, ChatGPT.

The AI is the tutor, not the sandbox. The learner uses real Git in a real terminal. The AI sets up the repo state, presents the task, gives hints, and verifies the result.

Spike document

imbra-spikes/cross-cutting/SPIKE-AI-GIT-SANDBOX.md

Deliverables

  • Core skill prompt (skill.md) — exercise runner logic for both CLI (full automation) and web chats (guided mode)
  • 3 starter exercises: first-commit, branching-basics, merge-conflict
  • Validate portability across Claude CLI, Claude web, ChatGPT
  • Publish as a public repo

Key decisions

  1. Exercise state verification in web-only chats (learner pastes output)
  2. Exercise sequencing — strict vs. free-form
  3. Where exercises live — standalone repo or inside tutorial-git

                Summary
                Evaluate how to build portable AI skills that deliver guided Git exercises (setup, task, verification) inside any AI chat — Claude CLI, Claude web, ChatGPT.
                The AI is the tutor, not the sandbox. The learner uses real Git in a real terminal. The AI sets up the repo state, presents the task, gives hints, and verifies the result.
                Spike document
                imbra-spikes/cross-cutting/SPIKE-AI-GIT-SANDBOX.md
                Deliverables
                •  Core skill prompt (skill.md) — exercise runner logic for both CLI (full automation) and web chats (guided mode)
                •  3 starter exercises: first-commit, branching-basics, merge-conflict
                •  Validate portability across Claude CLI, Claude web, ChatGPT
                •  Publish as a public repo
                Key decisions
                1. Exercise state verification in web-only chats (learner pastes output)
                2. Exercise sequencing — strict vs. free-form
                3. Where exercises live — standalone repo or inside tutorial-git
