Stay ready to pass a Staff loop at any time.
Three pillars, each with its own instrument: a guide you read, a corpus you drill, a mock round you sit. Everything below is served off this repo — no backend, no account, no network.
Pillar 1
Coding
complete
since 2026-08-16
Forty-five patterns, each chapter carrying recognition signals, a template, an insight ladder and executable invariants. The site turns the training protocol into a daily plan and puts your weakest patterns at the front of it.

Pillar 2
System design
in progress
three plans of five
The instrument is a keyed-brief mock round, not a worked-designs reader: ten briefs hold the answer key, the interviewer reveals it one stage at a time, and the grader scores the transcript against it. The guide is the half still being written.

The guide, section by section
A round is run in Claude Code, not in a page:
/sd-interview to sit one, /sd-grade to have
it scored against the key.
Pillar 3
Behavioral
not started
needs its own spec
A Staff story matrix — influence without authority, cross-team impact, technical strategy, conflict, failure — a story bank drawn from real work history, and rubric drills over it. Nothing is built: this card exists so the gap is visible from the front door rather than only in the roadmap.
