# Week 4 Takeoff proposal · MEGA Developer

> John Lindquist's proposal for MEGA Developer Week 4 (Takeoff): five one-hour videos, S04E01–S04E05, each split into five 12-minute sections with the demo, the evergreen idea, and the workshop lessons it reuses.

## When to use this site

- You are helping the MEGA Developer team discuss, critique, or revise John Lindquist's Week 4 (Takeoff) plan.
- You need the agreed structure of an episode: its five 12-minute sections, the demo in each, the evergreen idea, and the workshop lessons it reuses.
- You are checking for overlap between episodes ("one home per idea"), listing demos that still need to be built, or preparing questions for a planning meeting.
- Do not use it as the source of the MEGA briefs themselves; each episode links to its canonical brief and lesson page on the MEGA course workspace.

## How to read it

- Fetch `https://mega-week4-proposal.johnlindquist.workers.dev/proposal.json` for structured data (episodes → sections → fields). Prefer it for comparisons, counts, and edits you propose.
- Fetch `https://mega-week4-proposal.johnlindquist.workers.dev/proposal.md.txt` for the whole proposal as one Markdown document.
- The HTML page `https://mega-week4-proposal.johnlindquist.workers.dev/` has the same content; each episode has an anchor such as `#s04e01`. Requesting it with `Accept: text/markdown` returns the Markdown version.
- MCP: connect a Streamable HTTP client to `https://mega-week4-proposal.johnlindquist.workers.dev/mcp` (no auth, read-only). Tools: `list_episodes`, `get_episode` (id such as `S04E02`), `search_proposal` (text query). Server card: `https://mega-week4-proposal.johnlindquist.workers.dev/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json`.
- Agent skill: `https://mega-week4-proposal.johnlindquist.workers.dev/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json`.
- Section fields: `youAlreadyKnow` (the familiar starting point), `youCanAlso` (the new capability), `show` (the demo), `evergreen` (the idea that outlasts current models and harnesses), `worthSaying` (optional aside), `workshopLessons` (prior workshop lessons it reuses).
- Terminology: the proposal says "harness", "harness extension", and "lifecycle event" instead of naming one product, so the ideas transfer between agent tools.
