These are the three files I (Sean McCaman, instructor) would actually submit if I were a student in my own class. Read them for structure and concreteness before you start your own.
about_me.md Section 3 is mine, not the bar for this course; "class only," "tried once," and "never used" are perfectly valid entries in your version.
role_profile.md because my actual work — industry data engineering and analytics for a fintech CFO — doesn't fit the four canonical accounting tracks (audit, in-house, tax, government). The pack demonstrates two things at once: what the templates look like when filled in concretely, and how the templates flex for non-traditional paths.

about_me.md Section 2 (career picture) explains why I picked the role in role_profile.md Section 1. about_me.md Section 5 (learning goals) references the current skills in Section 3 so the gap is visible.about_me.md Section 7. This is the part that does the most work for you in every future LLM session — it tells the model how to tutor you across situations.lab01_spec.md has a file manifest, build requirements, acceptance criteria, a rubric summing to exactly 100, and a self-assessment with one sentence of evidence per item.role_profile.md §6, about_me.md §8). I'd run mine before submitting; the iteration is where the file actually gets better.
