Spec body
# Title coaching and requirements Many student essays come in untitled or with placeholder titles. Yawp could (a) require a title, (b) coach the student toward a good title, or (c) both. ## Problem Today titles are optional and often skipped or poorly done. The downstream effects ripple: - Untitled essays clutter the gradebook. - Submitted titles sometimes get lost ([bugs/title-disappears-on-submit.md](../bugs/title-disappears-on-submit.md)). - The GA mistakes the title for a sentence and flags it as a fragment ([bugs/ga-title-marked-fragment.md](../bugs/ga-title-marked-fragment.md)). - Students aren't being coached on titling — a real writing skill. ## Goals (rough) - Optionally require a title before submission (per AssignmentType setting). - Coach good titling — capitalization, no trailing punctuation, evocative rather than literal, etc. - Get the title properly registered in the document model so downstream surfaces (gradebook, GA) treat it as a title. ## Open questions - [ ] Required by default, or per-AssignmentType opt-in? Probably opt-in — teachers should choose. - [ ] AI-suggested titles based on the essay's content? ## Engineering handoff Not ready. Idea-stage. Coordinate with the title bug fixes.
