# Module NN:
> **** *Why this module exists for an IT pro: the pain it removes or the payoff it
> delivers. One sentence. Make them want to keep reading.*

## Prerequisites
*Which prior modules this one depends on, named explicitly (the dependency chain). If a reader could
parachute in here with only some of the course, say what they minimally need.*
- Module X:
---
## Learning objectives
*3–5 outcomes, action verbs, phrased as what the reader can **do** afterward, not "understand X."*
By the end of this module you can:
1. …
2. …
3. …

## Key concepts
*The teaching content: **theory only**. Explain the concept and why it matters; reframe an ops
instinct the reader already has. To show a command, show it **with example output** as illustration;
do NOT tell the reader to run anything here (all hands-on is the lab, and the lesson must not
duplicate it). No slop filler. No fixed length; go as deep as the topic needs, no further.*
---
## The AI angle
*The module's AI-specific reason for existing: the thing that makes this more than a generic devops
lesson. Pull it from the syllabus entry for this module and make it concrete. This section is the
differentiator; never skip it.*
---
## Hands-on lab
*The only place the reader runs things. End at a keyboard, not a quiz. State the lab language
(Python or shell) once; provide starter files in `lab/` and reference them by path. **From Module 4
on, the learner directs the AI agent (Claude Code as the worked example) to do the git/setup work
and then verifies it; they don't type the commands by hand.** In Modules 1–3 the learner still
runs git manually, on purpose.*
**You'll need:** **
**Steps:**
1. …
2. …

## Where it breaks
*The honest caveats: limits, pitfalls, where a tool or analogy stops holding. This section builds
trust with a skeptical audience. Always present; never sanded off.*
---
## Check for understanding
*A short self-check or a concrete "you're done when…" criterion. Self-assessment only, no grading.*
**You're done when:** …
---
## Verify-before-publish
*For fast-moving topics only: what to re-check at build/publish time: versions, pricing, tool
behavior, UI labels that drift. Omit this section for durable-core modules with nothing volatile.*
