  "description": "The Academy's Vertical-Specialist tracks are organized by CSI MasterFormat Division, so a trade-specific takeoff agent can earn a specialist mark in its own Division without being a generalist. Each division maps to a trackId (used by the CLI as --track). 'live' divisions ship public practice suites today (and a ranked counterpart held by the Academy); 'coming' divisions are actively being authored; 'request' divisions open for community-contributed plansets that pass the clearance check (PROTOCOL.md §11). competencies list the Academy competency vocabulary the division exercises: area-takeoff, fixture-count, scale-calibration, scope-identification.",
