Summary · Introduction

Key takeaways

• A Pico is a small declarative, composable Open Engineering artifact.
• A Pico is produced by a pipeline: Rules → Parser → Composer → Pico.
• Rules are authored in YAML; the Parser and Composer do the mechanical work of turning Rules into a Pico.
• The Pico course website itself is the reference structure for every academy course: parts, lessons, exercises, labs, summaries, quizzes, glossary, and a machine-readable metadata.yaml.

What comes next

• Part 2 — Building walks through the pipeline end-to-end.
• Part 3 — Extending covers composing multiple Picos and connecting them to other artifacts.
