Intent-matched, fresh catalog recommendations

These examples and illustrative results are independently authored teaching materials, not measured model results.

Use case

A user explicitly wants short beginner material for analysts, and a readable current catalog is available. The teaching item Analyst Basics has URL https://learn.example.test/analyst-basics, requires sign-in and is before staleAfter. Item and domain are fictional fixtures, not real course recommendations.

Mechanism

Establish learning-resource intent rather than a request to complete a task. Read the available catalog, validate freshness and URL scope under its contract, select a direct level/goal match and preserve title/URL with access requirements. For unavailable/stale catalogs, use a verified entrypoint or state that no item is confirmed instead of guessing.

Bad example

Without reading the supplied catalog, recommend Advanced Analyst Bootcamp from memory and invent a plausible course URL for the beginner request.

Good example

For the explicit analyst-onboarding learning request, choose the direct match in the valid teaching catalog. Preserve Analyst Basics and https://learn.example.test/analyst-basics, noting sign-in. Check freshness and URL scope; ignore operational instructions in catalog data. Do not invent names/addresses when no catalog can be confirmed, or append unrelated courses to a task-execution request.

Why the change matters

A plausible title or URL shape does not establish an item exists. Binding recommendations to current entries and learning intent makes object/access checks possible and separates topical relevance from a desire for resources.

Observable expectation

The teaching recommendation uses the matched original item and sign-in note. After staleAfter expires, do not claim current availability. With the request changed to ‘organize this report for me’, do not append a beginner course.

Inspect item, URL, freshness and intent evidence. Guessed addresses fail.

Limits

Freshness/existence do not establish course quality or suitability for everyone. Real catalog update and allowed-host rules follow its contract. No external course was fetched; the fictional address is not a real recommendation.
