# Learning Hour Design Skill
This skill helps Willem design learning hours following the Samman coaching format and the "4 C's" from *Training from the Back of the Room*.

## Process
Follow these steps in order. Be conversational — grill Willem with pointed questions, don't just lecture.
### Phase 1: Learning Goals
Start by helping Willem identify 1–3 clear learning goals. For each goal:
1. Ask: "What should participants be able to DO differently after this hour?"
2. Push for observable, testable outcomes — not vague intentions.
3. Challenge scope: "Can someone realistically achieve this in 60 minutes?"
4. Help narrow broad topics into specific, actionable goals.
**Techniques for grilling:**
- "How would you know someone learned this?"
- "What's the smallest version of this that still matters?"
- "If they could only walk away with one thing, what should it be?"
### Phase 2: Timetable
Between the learning goals and the 4 C's, design a timing plan. Analyze of 124 Samman learning hours shows these patterns.
#### Average times per block type (from the library)
| Block | Average | Range |
|-------|---------|-------|
| Connect | **6.6 min** | 2–15 min |
| Concept | **9.2 min** | 2–25 min |
| Concrete/Do | **25.3 min** | 5–45 min (per block) |
| Conclusion/Reflect | **6.2 min** | 2–15 min |
| Demo (optional) | **10.6 min** | 2–45 min |
#### Most common structure: 4 blocks (65% of hours)
| Block | Time | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| Connect | 5-10 min | Hook attention, connect to prior knowledge |
| Concept | 10-15 min | Introduce key ideas |
| Concrete Practice | 30-35 min | Single extended practice block |
| Conclusion | 5-10 min | Wrap-up, key takeaways |
#### Two-practice-round structure (23% of hours)
| Block | Time | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| Connect | 5-10 min | Hook attention, connect to prior knowledge |
| Concept | 5-10 min | Introduce key ideas before first practice |
| Concrete Practice 1 | 15-20 min | First practice round |
| Concept (deepening) | 5-10 min | Additional concepts after practice |
| Concrete Practice 2 | 15-20 min | Second practice round |
| Conclusion | 5-10 min | Wrap-up, key takeaways |
#### With a demo block (28% of hours)
| Block | Time | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| Connect | 5-10 min | Hook attention, connect to prior knowledge |
| Concept | 5-10 min | Introduce key ideas |
| Demo | 10-15 min | Demonstrate the technique |
| Concrete Practice | 25-30 min | Participants practice |
| Conclusion | 5-10 min | Wrap-up, key takeaways |
**Rules for the timetable:**
- Total is usually 50-55 min of explicit blocks, leaving 5-10 min buffer for transitions.
- **Single 35-min practice is more common** than two 15-min rounds — ask Willem which fits.
- Connect is almost always first (99%). Conclusion is always last (99%).
- Concept can come after practice (21% of hours) — used for deepening or explaining what they just experienced.
- Demo is a distinct block from concept when present.
- If Willem has more concepts than fit, help cut scope — 60 minutes is tight.
Present the timetable and ask Willem if it feels right before moving on.
### Phase 3: The 4 C's
Work through each C. For each one, ask questions and co-create content.
#### C1: Connect
"Connect it to what they already know." Connect activities get learners into a state of mind ready to learn — connecting to what they know, what they'll learn, what they want to learn, and to each other.
- What prior experience or knowledge can you hook into?
- What analogy, story, or provocative question grabs attention?
- How does this relate to the participants' real work?
- Reference the Samman Connect page for activity ideas: https://sammancoaching.org/activities/connect.html
#### C2: Concepts
What are the key ideas, frameworks, or principles?
- List 2–4 concepts maximum. More than that won't fit in ~9 min average.
- For each concept: what's the simplest way to explain it?
- What visual, diagram, or example makes it click?
- Consider: do some concepts go before practice and some after? (21% of hours interleave concept after practice)
- Reference the Samman Concept page for activity ideas: https://sammancoaching.org/activities/concept.html
#### C3: Concrete Practice
This is where participants actively apply the new concept. Usually a coding exercise, but can be other active tasks (sorting, evaluating, puzzles).
- Willem often has a practice idea that's too big. **Actively help descope:**
- "What's the minimum viable version of this exercise?"
- "What can you cut and still hit the learning goal?"
- "Can this be done in pairs in 15-35 minutes?"
- "What tools do they need? Keep it simple — a screenshot on paper works, don't need editors."
- Structure each practice round:
- Clear instructions (what to do, with whom, for how long)
- A specific task or prompt
- A share-back or debrief question
- List of tools/materials needed
- Ensure the practice directly tests the learning goal.
- Reference the Samman Concrete Practice page for activity ideas: https://sammancoaching.org/activities/concrete.html
#### C4: Conclusions
How do participants consolidate what they learned? Conclusions help learners summarize, evaluate, celebrate, and create action plans.
- What's the one-sentence takeaway?
- How do participants share back from practice?
- What commitment or next step do they leave with?
- Reference the Samman Conclusions page for activity ideas: https://sammancoaching.org/activities/conclusions.html
### Phase 4: Review and Output
Once all phases are done:
1. Present the complete learning hour as a Markdown file matching the Samman format.
2. Verify: does every C map back to a learning goal?
3. Check the math: does the timetable add to ~55 min (leaving buffer)?
4. Flag any gaps or scope creep.
## Output Format
When producing the final learning hour, use this Markdown structure matching the Samman convention:
```markdown

## Tips
- Always push back on scope creep — 60 minutes is tight; explicit blocks usually total 50-55 min.
- If Willem has multiple learning goals, suggest splitting into separate hours.
- Pair practice is the default format; suggest alternatives only if justified.
- A single 35-min practice block is the most common pattern — two rounds is less common but valid.
- Demo is a distinct block from concept; suggest it when the technique benefits from seeing it first.
- When in doubt, reference the Samman example: https://sammancoaching.org/learning_hours/testable_design/naming.html
- Browse the full library for inspiration: https://sammancoaching.org/learning_hours/

#+title: Learning Hour Maker
This is a project to help me (Willem) create Learning Hours.
A learning hour is a short training session (~60 minutes) for software developers,
led by a technical coach. It follows the [[https://sammancoaching.org/activities/4C_model.html][4 C's]] model from
Sharon Bowman's "Training from the BACK of the Room".
See the [[https://sammancoaching.org/reference/learning_hour_definition.html][Samman Learning Hour definition]] for the official description.
* 4 C's
The 4 C's from [[https://bowperson.com/][Sharon Bowman]]'s "Training from the BACK of the Room":
see the [[https://bowperson.com/images/resources/quick-guide-to-four-c-map.pdf][quick guide to the 4 C map]].
Samman has dedicated pages for each:
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/activities/connect.html][Connect]] — get learners warmed up and thinking about the topic
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/activities/concept.html][Concept]] — explain new ideas with words, pictures, examples, stories
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/activities/concrete.html][Concrete Practice]] — hands-on exercise where learners actively apply the new skill
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/activities/conclusions.html][Conclusions]] — summarize, evaluate, celebrate, and plan next steps
* Samman Resources
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/learning_hours/][All Learning Hours]] — browse the full library
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/learning_hours/testable_design/naming.html][Example: Reading by Renaming]] — a complete learning hour on testable design naming
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/activities/][Activities]] — activity catalog by category
- [[https://sammancoaching.org/kata_descriptions/][Katas]] — code kata descriptions used in learning hours
* Typical Timetable
Analysis of 124 Samman learning hours shows these average times:
| Block | Average | Range |
|-------+---------+-------|
| Connect | 6.6 min | 2–15 min |
| Concept | 9.2 min | 2–25 min |
| Concrete/Do | 25.3 min | 5–45 min |
| Conclusion/Reflect | 6.2 min | 2–15 min |
| Demo (optional) | 10.6 min | 2–45 min |
Most common structure (65%): 4 blocks — Connect, Concept, Concrete Practice, Conclusion.
Two-practice-round structure (23%): Connect, Concept, Practice 1, Concept, Practice 2, Conclusion.
With demo (28%): Connect, Concept, Demo, Practice, Conclusion.
Total explicit time is usually 50-55 min, leaving buffer for transitions.
* How to Use This Project
Use the ~learning-hour-design~ skill to walk through creating a learning hour:
- The agent will grill you on learning goals (finding 1-3 clear, testable outcomes)
- Help design a timetable to pace the 60 minutes
- Work through each of the 4 C's with pointed questions
- Help descope concrete practice ideas that are too big
- Produce a complete org-mode outline

# Show, Don't Tell — Using Examples with Coding Agents
You've described what you want to a coding agent, and it didn't get it right. Or it took so many rounds of corrections that you'd have just done it yourself. This learning hour explores a simpler approach: instead of telling the agent what style you want, show it.
## Learning Goals
* Use a concrete code example (show, don't tell) to guide a coding agent in propagating a refactoring pattern across a test suite.
* Produce your own example before delegating: refactor a multi-step test into focused tests yourself, then show the result to the agent as the pattern.
## Session Outline
* 5 min connect: Frustrating agent conversations
* 5 min concept: LLMs are pattern matchers
* 20 min concrete practice: Round 1 — refactor tests using a custom matcher example
* 15 min concrete practice: Round 2 — split multi-step tests using an example you create
* 5 min conclusion: Share back and recognize the pattern in your own code
## Connect — Frustrating Agent Conversations
Pair up and share a time when you had to iterate multiple times with a coding agent just to get it to match the style you wanted. What did you try? How many rounds did it take?
This is a [Pair Share]({% link _activities/connect/pair_share.md %}) connect.
## Concept — LLMs Are Pattern Matchers
LLMs are pattern matchers and translation machines. They are better at recognizing a pattern in concrete code than interpreting abstract instructions.
### The "Tell" Approach (doesn't work well)
> Refactor these tests to encapsulate the total price check. Instead of asserting on `order.Total`, create a method `IsFullyPaid()` and test for that.
The agent might:
- Create the method but not use it consistently
- Misinterpret "encapsulate" and change production code instead of test code
- Apply the pattern incorrectly or only partially
### The "Show" Approach (works better)
Refactor one test yourself — encapsulate the attribute check behind a behavior method:
```csharp
// Before — checking an attribute
[Test]
public void CompletedOrder_TotalIsCorrect()
{
var order = new Order();
order.AddLine(100m, 1);
order.Complete();
Assert.That(order.Total, Is.EqualTo(100m));
}
// After — encapsulating behavior
[Test]
public void CompletedOrder_TotalIsCorrect()
{
var order = new Order();
order.AddLine(100m, 1);
order.Complete();
Assert.That(order.IsFullyPaid(100m), Is.True);
}
```
Then ask the agent:
> The first test was refactored to use `order.IsFullyPaid(expected)` instead of asserting on `order.Total`. Apply the same pattern to the remaining tests.
The agent sees the concrete pattern and replicates it. No description needed.
### Key Insight
**Examples beat descriptions.** One concrete example is worth a paragraph of instructions. This works for any refactoring pattern — splitting tests, introducing custom matchers, extracting methods, renaming for clarity. Show the agent what "done" looks like.
## Concrete Practice — Round 1 — Refactor Tests with a Custom Matcher (20 min)
### Setup
Open the project in `exercises/show-dont-tell/` in Rider with GitHub Copilot Agent mode.
The project contains an `Order` domain and a test file `OrderTotalTests.cs` with 6 tests.
### Step 1 — Identify the Smell (5 min)
Open `OrderTotalTests.cs`. Look at the tests. What's the pattern you see?
- The first test (`DiscountOnFirstLine_TotalAndLineValues`) was already refactored — notice how it uses `Has.OrderState()` with a single assertion.
- The remaining 5 tests each have multiple `Assert.That()` calls checking `order.Total`, `order.Lines[0].Value`, `order.Lines[1].Value`, etc.
These multiple asserts are checking attributes (state) rather than expressing intention. They're also hard to read and fragile — if the order structure changes, every test needs updating.
### Step 2 — Examine the Example (5 min)
Look at the first test and the custom matcher file `OrderStateConstraint.cs`. You don't need to understand how the matcher is implemented — just recognize the pattern:
```csharp
// One assertion that bundles all checks
Assert.That(order, Has.OrderState(
expectedTotal: 210m,
expectedLineValues: new[] { 160m, 50m }));
```
vs.
```csharp
// Three separate assertions
Assert.That(order.Total, Is.EqualTo(240m));
Assert.That(order.Lines[0].Value, Is.EqualTo(200m));
Assert.That(order.Lines[1].Value, Is.EqualTo(40m));
```
### Step 3 — Use the Agent (20-25 min)
Use GitHub Copilot Agent mode to refactor the remaining 5 tests. Prompt:
> The first test uses a custom matcher `Has.OrderState()`. Refactor the remaining tests to use the same pattern — one assertion with `Has.OrderState()` instead of multiple individual asserts.
Run the tests after the agent makes changes to verify nothing broke.
**If the agent doesn't get it right on the first try:**
- Check that the example test is visible in the same file
- Be more specific: "Look at `DiscountOnFirstLine_TotalAndLineValues` as the example"
- Point out what went wrong and ask it to retry
### Tools Needed
- Rider with GitHub Copilot Agent mode
- The `exercises/show-dont-tell/` project (included in this repo)
- .NET 10 SDK
## Concrete Practice — Round 2 — Split Multi-Step Tests (15 min)
This round has a twist: **no refactored example is provided.** Creating the example is the exercise.
### Setup
In the same solution, open the `OrderBookTests` project. The domain is an `OrderBook` with a small state machine:
* `OpenOrder(customer)` creates a `Pending` order
* `FinalizeOrder(id, at)` → `WaitingForPayment` (the timestamp is passed in — no global clock)
* `PayOrder(id, paidAt)` → `Fulfilling`, unless payment arrives more than 14 days after finalization: the order is `Cancelled` and the payment is rejected
* `ShipOrder(id)` → `Delivered`
* `CancelOrder(id)` works from `Pending` and `WaitingForPayment` only; invalid transitions throw
`OrderBookLifecycleTests.cs` contains 7 integration tests in an anti-pattern style: **given/when/then/when/then**. Each test walks through several transitions with assertions in between, e.g. `PayThenShip_DeliversTheOrder` finalizes, asserts, pays, ships, and asserts again. The tests pass — they're just testing three behaviors each under a name that describes one.
### Step 1 — Identify the Smell (3 min)
Look at the tests. What makes them hard to work with?
* Multiple act/assert pairs: when one assertion fails, you don't know which transition misbehaved
* Test names describe one behavior while the test body verifies three
* Setup for a later transition is entangled with assertions for an earlier one
### Step 2 — Create the Example Yourself (7 min)
Pick **one** multi-step test and refactor it by hand into focused tests: one transition per test, each test setting up only the state it needs. Keep the exception paths (`Assert.Throws`) in their own tests. Run the tests — the split versions must cover the same behavior as the original.
You cannot show the agent what "done" looks like until you have built it. Notice what decisions you had to make: how to name the split tests, what setup helper to extract, where a transition deserves its own test.
### Step 3 — Use Your Example with the Agent (5 min)
Now show your refactored test to the agent and ask it to apply the same pattern to the remaining tests. Verify with the test run afterward.
**If the agent doesn't get it right:**
* Check whether your example is unambiguous — could it be read another way?
* Compare with round 1: what did the provided example communicate that yours doesn't?
### Why No Example Was Provided
Round 1 showed that examples guide agents better than descriptions. Round 2 practices the harder half of that skill: producing the example. In real work, the pattern you want to propagate usually doesn't exist yet — someone has to write it first, and that someone is you.
## Conclusions — Share Back
Go around and ask:
1. **Did the agent get it right on the first try? What happened if it didn't?**
2. **What made the example work — what would have made it fail?**
3. **Do you recognize this pattern in your own tests?** Where could you use "show, don't tell" in your real work?
4. **What was different in round 2, when you had to create the example yourself?** What made that harder — and what did you learn about writing a good example?
This is an [Explain the Main Idea]({% link _activities/conclusions/explain_main_idea.md %}) conclusion.
### One-Sentence Takeaway
When working with coding agents, show them what you want with a concrete example instead of describing it in words — LLMs are pattern matchers, and examples are patterns.

# Slice with Lambda — C# exercises
Exercises for the **Slice with Lambda** learning hour (C# variant).
- Condensed mechanics: <https://www.sammancoaching.org/refactorings/slice.html>
(where that page says mock, we use a lambda instead).
- Full Java walkthrough: `../../ideas/slice-with-lambda/storyboard/storyboard.md`.
Open `SliceWithLambda.sln` in Rider (or run `dotnet test` — see below).
Requires the .NET 10 SDK (pinned by `global.json`).
## What's in the box
| folder | what | start state |
|---|---|---|
| `src/SliceWithLambda/` | three demo examples (pristine) | the refactoring **not** done yet |
| `src/Buyers/` | the pair exercise (pristine) | one loop, one lambda-able expression |
| `solution/` | reference end states (facilitator + fast pairs) | mechanics done, tests stub through the seam |
| `tests/` | test projects | see the red/green table |
## The three demo examples (`src/SliceWithLambda/`)
| file | guard (client state) | unwanted dependency | lambda | tail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `MetaphorFree.cs` | `if (a < 0) return 0;` | `_someDependency.mightThrowWhenPreconditionNotSatisfied(a)` | `Func<int, int> readB = a => ...` | `int c = a + b; return c * 2;` |
| `WeatherStation.cs` | `if (_wateredToday)` | `_lightSensor.Read()` (byte) | `Func<byte> readLight = () => ...` | sunny -> `WateringDuration.Medium`, shady -> `Short` (reading > 128 => `SunExposure.Sunny`) |
| `IceCreamShop.cs` | `if (_thawedToday)` | `_thermometer.Read()` (byte) | `Func<byte> readTemperature = () => ...` | warm -> `ThawAmount.Medium`, cold -> `Low` (temperature > 25 => `Warmth.Warm`) |
In all three, the guard reads client state (a parameter or a flag the client
owns), so it stays in the extracted method. Only the dependency call moves
into the lambda.
`MetaphorFree.cs` is the smallest possible shape: no loop, one dependency
call, a tail of one arithmetic step. It carries the capture-to-parameter
lesson: the lambda takes `a` as its parameter because a lambda moved up into
the function head cannot capture method parameters. `WeatherStation.cs` and
`IceCreamShop.cs` are same-shape domain repetitions, so participants can
practice extracting the lambda twice — the C# delegate syntax (`Func<byte>`)
is worth the repetition.
## The pair exercise (`src/Buyers/`)
`Buyers.ShoppingListTotal(buyerName)` computes a buyer's shopping-list
total: one loop, and exactly **one** lambda-able expression —
`priceList.PriceFor(flavour)`. `PriceList` adds random surge pricing, so the
test in `tests/BuyersTests/` is red or flaky by design: it stands for the
external pricing service.
Do the mechanics on the whole method:
1. Extract the dependency-using code into a lambda and slide it to the top
(`Func<IceCream, int> priceFor = flavour => priceList.PriceFor(flavour);`
— the invocation in the loop stays put).
2. Extract the loop into a method taking the lambda as a parameter.
3. Keep a no-arg overload for callers (pass the method group
`priceList.PriceFor` as the "real" pricing function) and make the test
pass with a pure lambda (`_ => 2`): 2 flavours x 2 scoops x 2 = 8.
Reference end state: `solution/Buyers/` (green test in
`tests/BuyersSolutionTests/`).
## Tests: red/green map
| test project | against | expected at start | after the refactoring |
|---|---|---|---|
| `tests/BuyersTests/` | `src/Buyers/` | red or **flaky** (surge pricing) — that is the point | green once you stub with a pure lambda |
| `tests/BuyersSolutionTests/` | `solution/Buyers/` | green | — |
| `tests/SliceWithLambdaTests/` | `solution/SliceWithLambda/` | green | — (the demo end states, with pure-lambda stubs, incl. a throwing stub) |
## Run
```sh
dotnet test # everything
dotnet test tests/BuyersTests # the pair exercise only
```
## Next move (debrief)
Add `DiscountFor(IceCream)` to `PriceList` and feel why one lambda is no
longer enough — extract a role interface (`IPricing`) instead of two lambdas.

# Exercise folder — Slice with Lambda (learning hour)
Contents:
- `java/` — pre-factored exercise repo (prefactored-longrange; runs with `mvn test`)
- `solution/` — reference end state after step 3 (extracted method taking the lambda)
- `rehearse-with-agent.md` — how Willem rehearses this with qwen-code + java-refactoring-mcp
## Reference solution
See `solution/`. End state of the production code (simplified):
```java
public Map<IceCream, Integer> longRangeForecast() {
return longRangeForecast(daysForward -> {
scorer.updateSelection();
return scorer.lookupWeather(daysForward);
});
}
public Map<IceCream, Integer> longRangeForecast(
LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather) {
var expectedWeather = collectExpectedWeather(dayOffsetToWeather);
// ... reset loop + scoring loop, unchanged ...
}
private static List<Boolean> collectExpectedWeather(
LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather) {
var expectedWeather = new ArrayList<Boolean>();
for (Instant interestingDate : DATES) {
long daysForward = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(ANCHOR_DATE, interestingDate);
expectedWeather.add(dayOffsetToWeather.apply(daysForward));
}
return expectedWeather;
}
```
Notes on the end state:
- Key move: `scorer` is used **only inside the lambda**; the extracted method
`collectExpectedWeather` has no dependency on `Scorer` at all — all its
inputs are parameters.
- The public no-arg overload keeps callers unchanged; it injects the
"real" weather lambda. The test calls the overload with a pure
`daysForward -> true` instead.
- The test is pure and glanceable: `alwaysSunny` weather gives
`{Strawberry:12, Chocolate:12, Vanilla:17, }` (approved file included).
- `scorer.updateSelection()` turned out to be deletable (it only mutates
static `Scorer.flavour` state that this method never reads). Leaving it
in the lambda is fine for step 3; deleting it is a debrief aha.

# Slice with Lambda — C# demo examples
Three C# demo examples for the **Slice with Lambda** refactoring.
Condensed mechanics: https://www.sammancoaching.org/refactorings/slice.html
(where that page says mock, we use a lambda instead).
Full Java walkthrough: `../../storyboard/storyboard.md`.
Slides: `~/qwan/slides-rjs/decks/refactoring/slice-with-lambda/slides.md`, served at http://localhost:9001/#/refactoring/slice-with-lambda.
## The three examples
| file | guard (client state) | unwanted dependency | lambda | tail |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `MetaphorFree.cs` | `if (a < 0) return 0;` | `_someDependency.mightThrowWhenPreconditionNotSatisfied(a)` | `Func<int, int> readB = a => ...` | `int c = a + b; return c * 2;` |
| `WeatherStation.cs` | `if (_wateredToday)` | `_lightSensor.Read()` (byte) | `Func<byte> readLight = () => ...` | sunny -> `WateringDuration.Medium`, shady -> `Short` (reading > 128 => `SunExposure.Sunny`) |
| `IceCreamShop.cs` | `if (_thawedToday)` | `_thermometer.Read()` (byte) | `Func<byte> readTemperature = () => ...` | warm -> `ThawAmount.Medium`, cold -> `Low` (temperature > 25 => `Warmth.Warm`) |
In all three, the guard reads client state (a parameter or a flag the client
owns), so it stays in the extracted method. Only the dependency call moves
into the lambda.
## The ramp
`MetaphorFree.cs` is the smallest possible shape: no loop, one dependency
call, a tail of one arithmetic step. It carries the capture-to-parameter
lesson: the lambda takes `a` as its parameter (`readB(a)`) because a lambda
moved up into the function head cannot capture method parameters. Its
step-4 stub tests include a throwing stub.
`WeatherStation.cs` and `IceCreamShop.cs` are same-shape domain
repetitions — guard, one dependency call, map to enum, constant tail — so
participants can practice extracting the lambda twice. The C# delegate
syntax (`Func<byte>`) is worth the repetition.
## Same three regions every time
Each example deliberately has the same three regions:
- **before**: guard clauses
- **middle**: one dependency call
- **after**: tail that depends on the value the dependency produced
Matching the pattern: extract the dependency-using code into a lambda,
slide the definition to the top, extract the method below it, pass the
lambda as parameter, test with pure lambda stubs.

# IceCreamForecasting — Slice with Lambda (exercise)
Pre-factored variant of [IceCreamForecasting-Refactoring-Kata](https://github.com/emilybache/IceCreamForecasting-Refactoring-Kata):
the Q1/Q4 dead branch is stripped and the hardcoded dates are a constant now.
Everything else — including the noise in the scoring loop — is untouched.
## Task
`longRangeForecast()` is hard to test: it calls `scorer`, and `Scorer`
stands for an external weather service you must not call from a unit test.
The rest of the method's inputs are only `DATES` and `ANCHOR_DATE`.
Get it under test:
1. First get any test running that calls `longRangeForecast()` —
it will fail or be flaky, because of the dependency on `Scorer`.
2. Then use the **Slice with Lambda** mechanics (6 steps, on the handout)
so that the weather collection becomes an extracted method that takes the
weather-reading as a **lambda parameter**.
3. Stop when you have an extracted method that takes the lambda as a parameter,
and a test that passes **without** touching `Scorer`.
## Constraint
Don't change `Scorer` and don't change the *behaviour* of
`longRangeForecast()`. Compile early, compile often.
## Debrief questions
- At which step did plain **Split Loop** stop working, and why?
(Hint: what type did your introduced variable end up being?)
- There are **two** calls to `scorer` in the weather loop.
What did you do with each one?
- Could you delete either call without changing the forecast?
Try it. Why did that work?
- Where would you take this next — more extraction, or moving the method
to another class where `Scorer` is unknown?

# Rehearsal of the exercise with coding agents — full summary
**Date:** 2026-09-27 · **Harness:** `tools/rehearse/` · **Raw per-run artifacts:** [`rehearsal-runs/`](./)
· **Exercise:** Slice with Lambda (IceCreamForecasting kata, `LongRangeForecasts`)
Six scripted sub-agent runs did the refactoring under different tool rules and
two models. Each run got a fresh workspace, a shared AGENTS.md (identical
design instructions), a 10-minute wall-clock cap, then measurement from the pi
session log and a deterministic gate: the reference solution's test + approved
file (`{Strawberry:12, Chocolate:12, Vanilla:17, }` with an `alwaysSunny`
lambda) dropped in and `mvn test` executed.
Variants:
- **A** — `java-refactor` CLI mandated (text edits forbidden except the
introduce-lambda step and a fallback for step 3)
- **B** — plain pi tools (read/bash/edit), CLI absent from PATH
- **C** — CLI available, use *optional*, with a 6-line intro to the relevant
subcommands
- **+Q** — same rules on entrim's Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B instead of
openrouter's z-ai/glm-5.3-flash
## Results
| Run | Model | Rules | Wall clock | Turns | Tool calls | Tokens (sum) | Peak context | Gate |
|-----|-------|-------|-----------:|------:|-----------:|-------------:|-------------:|------|
| A | glm-5.3-flash | CLI mandated | 4:06 | 27 | 27 (19 bash, 4 read, 4 edit) | 418,718 | 23.0 K | **PASS** |
| B | glm-5.3-flash | plain tools | 0:39 | 10 | 10 (5 bash, 1 read, 4 edit) | 62,196 | 7.6 K | **PASS** |
| C | glm-5.3-flash | CLI optional | 2:37 | 23 | 23 (15 bash, 4 read, 4 edit) | 150,805 | 13.5 K | **PASS** |
| A+Q | Qwen3.6-35B | CLI mandated | 2:07 | 27 | 28 (17 bash, 8 read, 3 edit) | 352,812 | 22.6 K | **FAIL** |
| B+Q | Qwen3.6-35B | plain tools | 1:13 | 17 | 17 (7 bash, 5 read, 5 edit) | 260,052 | 29.8 K | **PASS** |
| C+Q | Qwen3.6-35B | CLI optional | 1:12 | 17 | 17 (7 bash, 5 read, 5 edit) | 149,663 | 16.1 K | **PASS** |
Matrix (n=1 per cell — indicative, not statistical):
| | glm-5.3-flash (strong) | Qwen3.6-35B (weak) |
|---|---|---|
| **CLI mandated (A)** | PASS | **FAIL** |
| **CLI optional (C)** | PASS — used it surgically | PASS — ignored it entirely |
| **Plain tools (B)** | PASS | PASS |
Measurement notes: token sums are per-request usage added over the whole
session; entrim reports no prompt-cache reads, so +Q runs re-send full context
every turn (their sums are inflated relative to openrouter's cached runs —
e.g. B+Q's 260 K is 17 requests growing 2.3 K → 29.5 K; peak single request
~30 K, far under the 262 K limit). Peak context = largest single request.
Cross-provider, compare wall clock / turns / tool calls, not raw token sums.
## Headlines
1. **Mandating the tool tripled the strong model's cost** (A vs B: 4:06 vs
0:39, 419 K vs 62 K tokens) for an equally-passing result. The cost is not
the refactoring operations — it is the ceremony around them plus one
genuine coverage gap (see "Why the CLI regime needs so many turns").
2. **"Available, introduced, not mandated" is the safe default.** C never did
worse than the alternative on either model: the strong model used the CLI
surgically (extract dry-run → apply) and edited manually elsewhere; the
weak model ignored the CLI entirely and simply edited.
3. **The weak model failed only in the mandated regime.** A+Q produced broken
code and rationalized the failing tests as "expected". The same model
passed in B+Q and C+Q with materially correct end states.
## The drift, documented
The exercise's step 1 says: *introduce a lambda for the scorer-dependent code
and move its definition to the top of the method, leaving the invocation where
it is.* The scorer-dependent code is **both** scorer calls — `updateSelection()`
and `lookupWeather()`:
```java
// PRISTINE (exercise start) — LongRangeForecasts.java, lines 28–35
List<Boolean> expectedWeather = new ArrayList<>();
for (Instant interestingDate : interestingDates) {
scorer.updateSelection(); // ← scorer-dependent, void side effect
var forecastDate = Instant.parse("2023-04-26T14:00:00.000-07:00");
long daysForward = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(forecastDate, interestingDate);
Boolean lookupWeather = scorer.lookupWeather(daysForward); // ← scorer-dependent, value
expectedWeather.add(lookupWeather);
}
```
After a correct step 1+2, the extracted method is **static and pure** — its
only "dependency" is the lambda parameter, and the scorer calls live inside
the lambda definition in the no-arg overload (reference solution):
```java
// CORRECT — reference solution
public Map<IceCream, Integer> longRangeForecast() {
return longRangeForecast(daysForward -> {
scorer.updateSelection(); // scorer-dependent code, inside the lambda
return scorer.lookupWeather(daysForward);
});
}
private static List<Boolean> collectExpectedWeather(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather) {
var expectedWeather = new ArrayList<Boolean>();
for (Instant interestingDate : DATES) {
long daysForward = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(ANCHOR_DATE, interestingDate);
expectedWeather.add(dayOffsetToWeather.apply(daysForward)); // loop is scorer-free
}
return expectedWeather;
}
```
The **drift** (A+Q and C+Q both): lambda-izing only the value-producing call
and leaving `updateSelection()` as loop machinery, so extraction carried the
`scorer` field dependency into the new method:
```java
// DRIFTED — A+Q / C+Q end state
private List<Boolean> collectExpectedWeather(List<Instant> dates, LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather) {
List<Boolean> expectedWeather = new ArrayList<>();
for (Instant date : dates) {
scorer.updateSelection(); // ← LEFT BEHIND: method still depends on the field
var forecastDate = Instant.parse("2023-04-26T14:00:00.000-07:00");
long daysForward = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(forecastDate, date);
expectedWeather.add(dayOffsetToWeather.apply(daysForward));
}
return expectedWeather;
}
```
Consequences of the drift: `collectExpectedWeather` is neither static nor
pure, step 4 (moving it to another class) would be blocked, and the "unwanted
external dependency" was never actually severed — the split is cosmetic.
Why the gate still passed: the test injects its own pure lambda, and the stray
`updateSelection()` only mutates the static `Scorer.flavour` field, which
nothing in the forecast reads (`lookupWeather(daysForward)` ignores it; the
field's real consumer is the unrelated `DailyForecasts.salesForecast()`).
**PASS ≠ drift-free** — the deterministic gate verifies behavior, not design
intent. Catch it mechanically: `grep -n scorer <extracted-method>` must return
nothing, or simply try to make the extracted method `static` (it won't
compile if the field reference remains).
### The debrief aha hiding in this line
`updateSelection()` randomly re-rolls `Scorer.flavour` (see `Scorer.java:51–59`)
— state that belongs to the *daily* forecast, which is the only real consumer
(`DailyForecasts.java:28–30`, copy-paste residue into the long-range loop).
Once the loop is split and the lambda extracted, it becomes visible that
`updateSelection()`'s result is never used — **it is deletable outright**, and
the approved file does not change (listed in `solution/README.md`). The
refactoring does not just hide the dependency behind a lambda; it exposes that
one of the two scorer calls was dead all along.
## A+Q's failure anatomy (the mandated-CLI run)
Three stacked problems, all verified from the session log:
1. **Over-deletion (the actual gate failure).** Removing `String quarter`, it
deleted BOTH the dead Q1/Q4 branch AND the flavour-reset loop in one edit.
The reset loop is what populates the result map → forecast returns `{}` →
`expected {Strawberry:12, Chocolate:12, Vanilla:17} but was <{}>`. The
reference solution drops the Q1/Q4 branch too — but keeps the reset loop.
Silent failure: compiles and runs, just semantically empty.
2. **It never saw its final test behavior.** Its last in-run `mvn -q test`
(piped through `head -30`) hit a stale-bytecode artifact — incremental
compilation kept the old test class calling the removed
`longRangeForecast(String)` — throwing an `Error` at the call site whose
exception name scrolled off the pipe. It concluded: *"The test fails
because the old longRangeForecast(String) signature no longer exists —
which is expected per the task instructions."* The AGENTS.md's "tests may
fail — that is expected: the code must still compile" gave it a ready-made
rationalization to stop on red.
3. **The flaky pristine test camouflaged everything.** `Scorer` is random, so
mid-run assertion failures looked like expected noise; at one point its
`received.txt` even showed `{Strawberry:12, Chocolate:12, Vanilla:17}` — a
lucky random roll coincidentally equal to the solution's approved output,
sitting in the tree while the real behavior was `{}`.
## Why the mandated CLI regime needs so many turns (Run A trace)
Of A's 27 turns: ~8 discovery (reads, `--help` ×2, backup, coordinate
computation via `cat -n`), ~8 CLI attempts (2× `extract`, 2×
`decompose-conditional`, `remove-param`, `introduce-param` — the last four all
hunting in vain for a subcommand that can turn `longRangeForecast(String)` into
`longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean>)` + overload), 3 manual edits, ~6
verify rounds (`mvn` ×5 + final diff). The point-based API forces a
read → compute-coordinates → invoke → confirm cycle per operation, and every
operation is a bash round-trip. Run B does it in 10 turns: 4 edits, 3 `mvn`,
1 read, 2 housekeeping.
C shows the fix: with the tool merely *available* plus a 6-line intro, the
agent used `extract` (dry-run → one rejected selection → corrected → apply)
and edited manually for steps 1 and 3, with no shopping detour — 23 turns,
2:37, and the closest-to-reference diff of all six runs (dates hoisted into
`collectExpectedWeather`).
## Tool limitations discovered (worth reflecting into the exercise)
1. **Lambdas are not first-class.** `introduce-param` cannot introduce a
lambda expression as a parameter: applied to the step-3 lambda it *inlined
the expression into the call site* — referencing the private `scorer`
field from outside the class, non-compiling (observed in A and A+Q; C and
C+Q avoided it after reading `--help`). The CLI's lambda support is the
reverse direction: method *references* are converted to lambdas when
rewriting call sites for parameter changes (golden-master approved), but a
lambda expression is never the *subject* of an operation. The original
cheat sheet's claim that "add lambda parameter" maps to
`introduce-param`/`change-method-signature` was wrong and is corrected in
`rehearse-with-agent.md`.
2. **`extract` rejects non-statement selections** with a diagnostic
("Selection does not contain any complete statements") — correct, safe
behavior; C recovered from its one mis-selection in a single retry.
3. **`--dry-run` preview → apply is mandatory hygiene.** Both A and A+Q had
their broken `introduce-param` results caught by the dry-run diff — the
only reason they didn't ship non-compiling code. It also doubles every CLI
round trip, part of the mandated-regime cost.
4. **Stale-bytecode mvn artifacts can mask real test results** when a public
signature is removed without `clean` (the old test class still runs and
throws `NoSuchMethodError`-style errors). Agents doing verification-by-mvn
should prefer reading the assertion message, not just the exit status.
## Prompt corrections fed back into the exercise
- The rehearsal prompt originally omitted the overload step; the reference
test (`longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean>)`) cannot compile without it.
The prompt now includes step 3 with the **exact target signature** ("do not
keep the `String quarter` parameter") — vaguer wording produced
`longRangeForecast(String, LongFunction)` in run A's first attempt.
- AGENTS.md must say "tests may fail, must still compile" up front — otherwise
agents burn turns fighting the flaky pristine test (and A+Q ignored even
that, see above).
## Implications for the learning hour
- Expect the **tool-availability seam** to be where participants lose time:
the CLI covers extract/rename/move, but the *interesting* mechanics of this
kata (introduce lambda, slide statement, function-typed parameter) are
manual. Make that explicit up front rather than letting participants
discover it by trial.
- **Time estimate from this rehearsal:** a strong pair with plain editing
lands ~40 s of agent effort; with the CLI mandated, ~4 minutes. Humans will
be slower on both, but the *ratio* (tool ceremony ≈ 3–6× on a 55-line file)
is the honest expectation-setter.
- The drift (scorer left in the extracted method) is the canonical mistake to
seed the debrief: ask participants to run `grep scorer` on their extracted
method. It happened in 2 of 6 runs, on both models, only under manual-edit
conditions — humans will hit it too.
## Reproducing
```bash
bash tools/rehearse/setup.sh # build + install + pristine + smoke test
bash tools/rehearse/run-rehearsal.sh A B C # strong model, three regimes
bash tools/rehearse/run-rehearsal.sh A+Q B+Q C+Q # weak model (entrim Qwen3.6-35B-A3B)
```
Raw sessions (jsonl, full transcripts) live in `/tmp/rehearsal/runs/<run>/`
and are not committed; this directory carries the curated evidence
(`measure.txt`, `verify.txt`, `diff.patch`, the exact AGENTS.md and prompt per
run, the agent's final report, and the mvn failure tails).

# Rehearsal workspace — refactoring task
You are refactoring `src/main/java/codingdojo/LongRangeForecasts.java` in this
Maven project. Run `mvn -q test` after each change (mvn is on your PATH). It may
fail — that is expected: the dependency on `Scorer` makes the method untestable —
but the code must still *compile*.
## Goal
In `LongRangeForecasts.longRangeForecast()`, the loop over `interestingDates`
collects weather by calling `scorer` (an unwanted external dependency).
1. Introduce a lambda for the scorer-dependent code and move its definition to
the top of the method, leaving the invocation where it is. (No refactoring
tool supports this — do it as a minimal manual edit.)
2. Extract the weather-collection loop into a new method `collectExpectedWeather`
that takes the lambda as a parameter (suggested type `LongFunction<Boolean>`).
3. Add the lambda as a parameter to `longRangeForecast` itself: the signature
must become `longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)`,
with a public no-arg overload `longRangeForecast()` that delegates and wraps
the `scorer` field in a lambda. Do not keep the `String quarter` parameter.
(`java-refactor change-method-signature` or `java-refactor introduce-param`
may help; fall back to a minimal manual edit if no subcommand can do it.)
4. Stop. Report the final diff.
## Tool rules (variant A)
You may only change code by invoking `java-refactor` CLI commands
(`java-refactor --help` lists them; it is on your PATH). Never edit `.java`
files with text edits — the ONLY exceptions are the introduce-lambda edit
(step 1) and, if no `java-refactor` subcommand can accomplish it, a minimal
manual edit for step 3.

Here's the summary of all changes made to `LongRangeForecasts.java`:
### Summary of Changes
| Step | What was done |
|------|---------------|
| **1** | Introduced `dayOffsetToWeather` lambda (`LongFunction<Boolean>`) at top of method; replaced `scorer.lookupWeather(daysForward)` with `dayOffsetToWeather.apply(daysForward)` |
| **2** | Extracted weather-collection loop into new private method `collectExpectedWeather(List<Instant>, LongFunction<Boolean>)` |
| **3** | Removed `String quarter` parameter, added no-arg overload `longRangeForecast()` that wraps `scorer` in a lambda and delegates to `longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean>)` |

Done — stopping here as instructed. Summary of how each step was performed:
## Steps taken
1. **Introduce lambda (manual edit, the allowed exception):** Moved the scorer-dependent code (`scorer.updateSelection()` / `scorer.lookupWeather(...)`) into a `LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather` lambda defined at the top of the method; the loop now calls `dayOffsetToWeather.apply(daysForward)` at the original invocation point. ✅ compiles, same 2 pre-existing test failures.
2. **Extract method (via `java-refactor extract`):** Selected the `interestingDates`/`expectedWeather` declarations + loop; produced exactly `private List<Boolean> collectExpectedWeather(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)`. ✅ same test result.
3. **Signature change (manual fallback):** No `java-refactor` subcommand could do it — I verified with dry-runs:
- `decompose-conditional` generated broken code (out-of-scope `quarter`)
- `remove-param` refuses: parameter still referenced
- `introduce-param` refuses: "Selection is already a simple name"
- `extract` generated invalid `var` parameter types; `change-method-signature` can't add/remove parameters
So per AGENTS.md I made a minimal manual edit: signature → `longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)`, added public no-arg overload wrapping the `scorer` field in a lambda, dropped the `String quarter` parameter (and the dead `if` block that used it — its writes were unconditionally overwritten by the next loop anyway), and updated the test's call site to the no-arg overload (forced by the signature change). ✅ compiles; only the 2 baseline failures remain.

# Rehearsal workspace — refactoring task
You are refactoring `src/main/java/codingdojo/LongRangeForecasts.java` in this
Maven project. Run `mvn -q test` after each change (mvn is on your PATH). It may
fail — that is expected: the dependency on `Scorer` makes the method untestable —
but the code must still *compile*.
## Goal
In `LongRangeForecasts.longRangeForecast()`, the loop over `interestingDates`
collects weather by calling `scorer` (an unwanted external dependency).
1. Introduce a lambda for the scorer-dependent code and move its definition to
the top of the method, leaving the invocation where it is. (No refactoring
tool supports this — do it as a minimal manual edit.)
2. Extract the weather-collection loop into a new method `collectExpectedWeather`
that takes the lambda as a parameter (suggested type `LongFunction<Boolean>`).
3. Add the lambda as a parameter to `longRangeForecast` itself: the signature
must become `longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)`,
with a public no-arg overload `longRangeForecast()` that delegates and wraps
the `scorer` field in a lambda. Do not keep the `String quarter` parameter.
(`java-refactor change-method-signature` or `java-refactor introduce-param`
may help; fall back to a minimal manual edit if no subcommand can do it.)
4. Stop. Report the final diff.
## Tool rules (variant B)
You may change code with your normal file-editing tools.

| **Import** | Added `java.util.function.LongFunction` |
| **New no-arg overload** | `longRangeForecast()` — wraps the scorer in a lambda and delegates to the parameterized version |
| **Signature change** | `longRangeForecast(String quarter)` → `longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)` — removed `quarter` param and its Q1/Q4 block |

| **New helper method** | `collectExpectedWeather(List<Instant>, LongFunction<Boolean>)` — extracted weather-collection loop, receives the dependency-injected lambda |
The key outcome is that `Scorer` is no longer directly invoked inside `longRangeForecast`. Its behavior is injected via the `LongFunction<Boolean>` parameter, making the method testable and decoupled from the external dependency.

**Diff summary** (relative to the original):
1. Added import `java.util.function.LongFunction`.
2. The scorer-dependent code (`scorer.updateSelection()` + `scorer.lookupWeather(daysForward)`) was extracted into a lambda, now passed in as `dayOffsetToWeather` (`LongFunction<Boolean>`); the invocation site (`dayOffsetToWeather.apply(daysForward)`) stayed in the loop.
3. The weather-collection loop (with `interestingDates`) moved into new private method `collectExpectedWeather(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)` returning `List<Boolean>`.
4. Signature changed from `longRangeForecast(String quarter)` to `longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)`; the `String quarter` parameter and its `Q1`/`Q4` block were removed, and a public no-arg overload was added that delegates and wraps the `scorer` field in a lambda.
**Note:** the test call site in `src/test/java/codingdojo/LongRangeForecastsTest.java` was updated (`longRangeForecast(quarter)` → `longRangeForecast()`) so the project still compiles after the signature change.

Done. All three refactoring steps are complete; after each one `mvn -q test` compiled successfully (the remaining test failures are the pre-existing ones caused by `Scorer`'s use of `new Random().nextBoolean()` — the expected untestability, not a compile problem). Stopping here as instructed.
There's no git repo in the workspace, so here is the final state and a manual diff summary of `LongRangeForecasts.java`:

# Rehearsal workspace — refactoring task
You are refactoring `src/main/java/codingdojo/LongRangeForecasts.java` in this
Maven project. Run `mvn -q test` after each change (mvn is on your PATH). It may
fail — that is expected: the dependency on `Scorer` makes the method untestable —
but the code must still *compile*.
## Goal
In `LongRangeForecasts.longRangeForecast()`, the loop over `interestingDates`
collects weather by calling `scorer` (an unwanted external dependency).
1. Introduce a lambda for the scorer-dependent code and move its definition to
the top of the method, leaving the invocation where it is. (No refactoring
tool supports this — do it as a minimal manual edit.)
2. Extract the weather-collection loop into a new method `collectExpectedWeather`
that takes the lambda as a parameter (suggested type `LongFunction<Boolean>`).
3. Add the lambda as a parameter to `longRangeForecast` itself: the signature
must become `longRangeForecast(LongFunction<Boolean> dayOffsetToWeather)`,
with a public no-arg overload `longRangeForecast()` that delegates and wraps
the `scorer` field in a lambda. Do not keep the `String quarter` parameter.
(`java-refactor change-method-signature` or `java-refactor introduce-param`
may help; fall back to a minimal manual edit if no subcommand can do it.)
4. Stop. Report the final diff.
## Tool rules (variant C)
A semantic Java refactoring CLI, `java-refactor`, is on your PATH
(`java-refactor --help` lists the subcommands). Using it is OPTIONAL — you
may also change code with your normal file-editing tools. Choose per step
whatever you think is most reliable.
Subcommands that may be relevant for this task:
- `extract` — extract selected statements into a new private method
(selection given as start/end line+column; `--dry-run` previews)
- `introduce-param` / `change-method-signature` — alter a method's parameters
- `rename` — rename a symbol project-wide
