# Applied Domain

## Purpose

Provides domain expertise for the 10 Applied & Practical tier packs. These are practical skills that build on core academic foundations: computer science, data science, world languages, psychology, environmental science, nutrition, economics, creative writing, logic, and digital literacy. Each subject emphasizes hands-on application and real-world relevance.

## Capabilities

- Subject-specific learning outcome hierarchies for 10 applied subjects
- Cross-subject prerequisite mapping to core tier (e.g., CODE-101 depends on MATH-101, PROB-101)
- Grade-level complexity scaling with emphasis on middle school through college
- Applied activity types (coding projects, data analysis labs, language immersion exercises, field studies)
- Assessment methods emphasizing portfolio and project-based evaluation
- Resource curation with emphasis on interactive tools and practice environments

## Subject Coverage

| Subject | Pack ID | Key Domains |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Computer Science | CODE-101 | Programming, algorithms, data structures, software engineering |
| Data Science | DATA-101 | Data wrangling, visualization, ML basics, statistical modeling |
| World Languages | LANG-101 | Language acquisition, grammar, culture, communication |
| Psychology | PSYCH-101 | Development, cognition, behavior, mental health |
| Environmental Science | ENVR-101 | Ecology, climate, conservation, sustainability |
| Nutrition | NUTR-101 | Macronutrients, meal planning, food science, health |
| Economics | ECON-101 | Supply/demand, markets, personal finance, macro/micro |
| Creative Writing | WRIT-101 | Literature analysis, creative writing, rhetoric, genre |
| Logic | LOG-101 | Propositional logic, predicate logic, proofs, paradoxes |
| Digital Literacy | DIGLIT-101 | Information evaluation, digital citizenship, online safety |

## Dependencies

- kp-content-authoring skill for file structure and templates
- Pack runtime schemas for validation
- Core academic packs as prerequisites (MATH-101, READ-101, PROB-101, COMM-101)

## Token Budget Rationale

1.0% budget covers the domain knowledge reference for 10 subjects. The skill provides subject-specific guidance (not full content) -- the actual content is generated in context using the authoring templates.

Skill	Description
3d-interaction-design	Design heuristics for three-dimensional interaction — input modalities (6DoF controllers, gaze, gesture, voice), selection and manipulation techniques (ray-cast, virtual hand, go-go, world-in-miniature), navigation (teleport, continuous, redirected walking), and feedback loops (haptic, audio, visual). Covers Fitts' law in 3D, discoverability vs affordance, safe-zone design, and comfort/simulator sickness mitigation. Use when designing VR/AR interactions, immersive walkthroughs, or any input system where the user's body is the controller.
accessibility-patterns	Provides web accessibility best practices for semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and screen reader patterns. Use when building UI components, reviewing accessibility, or when user mentions 'a11y', 'accessibility', 'ARIA', 'screen reader', 'keyboard navigation', 'WCAG'.
active-listening	Active listening techniques for effective communication. Covers attending behaviors, paraphrasing, reflective listening, clarifying questions, empathic response, barriers to listening, listening in conflict, and cross-cultural listening. Use when building listening skills, improving understanding in conversation, mediating disputes, or analyzing communication breakdowns.
adversarial-pr-review	Adversarial spec-compliance PR review — cross-references diffs against approved specs, verifies runtime claims against source, detects competing PRs, audits scope/convention compliance. Use before merging.
agile-methods	Agile and Lean software development methodologies for iterative, adaptive project execution. Covers Scrum (roles, ceremonies, artifacts), Kanban (WIP limits, flow metrics), XP (TDD, pair programming, CI), SAFe overview, Lean Software Development (Poppendieck's 7 principles), user stories (INVEST criteria), estimation via story points and velocity, and the Agile Manifesto's values and principles. Includes Cynefin framework for methodology selection and GSD's relationship to Agile as a structured Lean variant.
algebraic-reasoning	Symbolic manipulation, equation solving, and algebraic structures for mathematical reasoning. Covers distributive law, factoring, completing the square, linear through polynomial equation solving, systems of equations (substitution, elimination, Gaussian elimination, matrix methods), algebraic structures (groups, rings, fields), modular arithmetic, polynomial theory, and inequalities. Use when solving equations, simplifying expressions, working with algebraic structures, or performing symbolic manipulation.
algorithmic-awareness	Understanding how algorithmic systems shape what users see, know, and do -- from recommendation feeds to search ranking to credit scoring to hiring software. Covers the mechanics of recommendation systems, algorithmic bias and its sources, personalization's effects on information diets, opacity and accountability, AI limitations (hallucination, confident wrongness), and the human-in-the-loop question. Use when a learner needs to think critically about why particular content reached them.
algorithms-data-structures	Algorithms and data structures from first principles through advanced analysis. Covers sorting (bubble, insertion, selection, merge, quick, heap, radix), searching (linear, binary, BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, A*), fundamental data structures (arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, hash tables, trees, heaps, graphs, tries), complexity analysis (Big-O, Big-Omega, Big-Theta, amortized), recurrence relations, and algorithm design paradigms (divide-and-conquer, greedy, dynamic programming, backtracking). Use when analyzing, selecting, implementing, or comparing algorithms and data structures.
aminet-browser	Aminet search and browse: full-text search, category tree navigation, architecture filtering, package detail, and curated collections. Use when searching, browsing, or managing package collections.
aminet-emulator	FS-UAE emulator configuration and launch: hardware profiles, ROM management, WHDLoad integration, config generation, and state snapshots. Use when configuring emulation, managing ROMs, or launching Amiga software.
