A hands-on, role-specific AI apprenticeship system that turns beginners into reliable community operators.
Instead of just explaining skills, this copilot assigns real tasks, evaluates outcomes, corrects mistakes, and progresses users through measurable capability ladders — exactly like a master craftsman training an apprentice.
This repository contains the complete framework for a self-balancing resilience community training system.
It consists of 20 core tracks that cover every essential skill needed for long-term self-reliance, from building shelter to managing resources under stress.
Progress is based on proven capability, not consumed content.
Click any track below to jump to its full details:
- Builder – Construct and repair structures
- Water Systems – Collect, store, purify, and distribute water
- Sanitation – Manage waste, hygiene, and composting
- Food Production – Grow crops and manage soil
- Repair / Maintenance – Fix tools, systems, and assets
- Medic (Basic) – First aid, injury prevention, and hygiene
- Food Preservation & Storage – Can, dry, ferment, and store food
- Energy / Fire / Lighting – Safe fire, heat, lighting, and fuel management
- Security / Perimeter Basics – Protect assets and people
- Inventory & Resource Management – Track, allocate, and rotate supplies
- Communication & Signaling – Coordinate and send alerts
- Navigation & Mapping – Orient, route, and scout safely
- Animal Husbandry – Manage small livestock
- Tool Making / Basic Fabrication – Create and improvise tools
- Mental Resilience & Decision-Making – Stay calm and decide under stress
- Foraging & Wild Food Procurement – Identify and harvest wild edibles safely
- Leadership & Group Coordination – Assign roles and lead teams
- Beekeeping – Manage hives for pollination and hive products
- Primitive Skills & Bushcraft – Survive and improvise with natural materials
- Advanced Medical / Herbalism – Use herbs and natural remedies safely
(Note: Sewing, Textiles & Clothing Repair is planned as an optional 21st track.)
- Task-driven, not content-driven — Progress = proven capability
- Error-first learning with heavy feedback loops
- Strict progression gates based on observable results (photos, measurements, logs)
- Real-world push — Every Level 3+ task delivers immediate community value
- Cross-track integration — Skills reinforce each other (e.g., Builder → Water Systems → Sanitation)
- Role allocation ready — Clear levels make it easy to assign people to needed tracks
