ACI Extraction Protocol

This document describes the six extraction lenses used to mine Agentic Coding Insights (ACIs) from real development repositories. Each lens targets a different kind of lesson. Applied systematically across repos, they produce the raw material for the course.

General Process

For each lens applied to each repo:

1. Run the specified commands to collect raw findings
2. Interpret findings into ACI candidates (a one-sentence thesis + the evidence that supports it)
3. Draft the ACI using the template at content/templates/aci-template.md
4. Run the detrope gate (see process/detrope-checklist.md) on every drafted ACI
5. Validate that the evidence is reproducible -- someone else should be able to run the same commands and find the same thing
