The Duolingo playbook as agent skills — retention, streaks, gamification, learning science, curriculum, efficacy measurement, metrics, experimentation, growth, brand, voice, culture, hiring, platform and mobile engineering, observability, and LLM feature design. Distilled from 750 posts on blog.duolingo.com plus the Duolingo Handbook and Design System. Start at the /duolingo router; design and UI craft routes out to design-engineering.

duo-efficacy-measurement

Prove your product actually works — with instruments you did not author, on axes that do not substitute for each other, and in a way a skeptic outside your company can check. Covers the four-axis efficacy framework (enjoyment, mastery, real-task application, external standard), borrowing the incumbent's benchmark instead of inventing a metric, authoring an item pool independently of the content you ship, thin-sampling many users to grade your content rather than your users, embedding a pre-test and post-test as a gate, adaptive assessment, partial-credit scoring, and reading calibration off the score distribution. Use when asking how do I show this actually teaches anything, what do I measure besides engagement, should I build my own test or borrow one, how many questions do I need, where does a pre-test go, why is my assessment too easy, or should I report one score.
