Core PDDL tutorial
A slide-deck workbook I wrote for learning core PDDL — domain vs problem, actions, logic, fluents, and time — with a try-it loop on every lesson.
This is a tutorial I built to learn core PDDL, published as a reading-companion-style workbook rather than a markdown file. Each lesson is one construct: background, the lesson itself, a deep dive with a diagram or listing, a short task, a worked answer, and a recap map.
It covers the split between domain and problem, ground facts and the closed-world assumption, action templates, typing, pickup/drop modeling, quantifiers, conditional effects, numeric cost, and durative actions — then a set of drills.
Open the workbook for the full walkthrough. Use the arrow keys; the dots jump between sections.
