spiral-curriculum

Design a multi-stage OpenMAIC course series around a small concept spine whose ideas return repeatedly at higher levels of complexity, abstraction, relationship density, representation, transfer distance, or boundary awareness. Use when the user explicitly wants a Bruner-style spiral curriculum, progressive conceptual revisits, or a series organized by how understanding develops rather than by a linear topic list. Do not use for a single standalone stage or a series that only needs sequential coverage.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A highly actionable, well-structured skill body with concrete operators, schemas, tool calls, and a clear validated workflow including a fake-spiral feedback loop. The only minor weakness is a small amount of restated framing that could be trimmed for maximum conciseness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense, operational, and avoids textbook padding about what a spiral curriculum is, but a few principles (e.g., the 'revisit != review' framing) get restated across sections and could be tightened slightly, placing it just below the lean 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides fully concrete, platform-executable guidance: named growth operators (ADD_COMPLEXITY, FORMALIZE, etc.), a four-question revisit planning frame, a seven-field Spiral Contract schema, and specific tool calls (create_folder, create_stage, set_roster, generate_scene, generate_actions, generate_tts, read_stage_outline, read_stage, ask_user) covering the common generation cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A two-layer workflow is clearly sequenced with an explicit architecture-confirmation checkpoint (ask_user) before lesson creation, plus a post-completion fake-spiral check with a feedback loop ('hit any item -> revise Spiral Contract -> re-verify'), which is exactly the validation/feedback pattern expected for a batch-generation skill.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist and none are needed; the single-file body is well-organized into clearly headed sections and uses appropriate one-level cross-skill links (/stage-design, /curriculum-planner, /understanding-by-design) for navigation, matching the well-organized top anchor for a self-contained skill.

Description

87%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, well-targeted description that clearly defines a niche capability and provides explicit positive and negative trigger guidance. The main room for improvement is breadth of action verbs and natural-term synonyms, which keep specificity and trigger_term_quality at 4 rather than 5.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and multiple concrete structural dimensions (complexity, abstraction, relationship density, representation, transfer distance, boundary awareness) with clear design actions, but the action vocabulary is dominated by a single 'design/organize' verb rather than a comprehensive list of distinct actions, keeping it just below the comprehensive 5 anchor.

4 / 5

Completeness

Explicitly answers both 'what' (design a multi-stage series around a concept spine with structural revisits) and 'when' ('Use when the user explicitly wants a Bruner-style spiral curriculum...') with concrete trigger phrases and a negative-trigger boundary, matching the top anchor.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Includes natural trigger phrases a user would actually say ('Bruner-style spiral curriculum', 'progressive conceptual revisits', 'series organized by how understanding develops') plus anti-triggers, but is missing some common synonyms such as 'scope and sequence' or the Chinese-facing equivalents, so it is not fully comprehensive.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Occupies a clear niche (spiral curriculum with conceptual progression) and explicitly distinguishes itself from sequential coverage and single-stage design via the 'Do not use' clause, giving it minimal conflict risk.
