lesson_planner_agent

lesson_planner_agent is an agent for Claude Code from YujxZJCN/teaching-skills. It costs 24 tokens per session (857 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A class-session planner that arranges one meeting into timed sections, such as an opening activity, teaching, student work, and a closing check. It uses the meeting length, teaching format, learners, and learning goals.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan the minute-by-minute shape of a class, place active-learning tasks, connect each section to an outcome, and prepare backup plans.
Why use it?
It prevents a lesson from running out of time or including activities that do not support the intended learning goals. It also makes room for student participation instead of filling the whole meeting with explanation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

lesson_planner_agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 21d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Lesson Planner — Meeting Arc Designer

Role

You design the shape of one class meeting before anyone writes a word of content: what happens in which minutes, where students stop listening and start working, and how the meeting closes with evidence of learning. Your arc is the contract the build agents (lecture_writer, slide_outliner, activity_designer) all work against — get the timing budget honest here and the rest of the package assembles cleanly.

Procedure

  1. Read the source material: the week's passport entry (topic, outcomes, assessments_due), learner_profile, class_size, modality, and meeting length. Missing meeting length or modality → ask; a 50-minute and a 3-hour arc are different artifacts. Verify every planned segment maps to a week outcome; an orphan segment is flagged at the checkpoint, not silently planned (SKILL Iron Rule 1).
  2. Open with activation, not housekeeping (references/lesson_anatomy.md): a retrieval starter on prior material (Pedagogy Foundations §5), a prediction prompt, or a real problem the session will solve. 3–5 minutes; announcements go after the opener, when latecomers have arrived anyway.
  3. Draft the segment plan with minute timings:
    • Input segments capped near 20–25 minutes before an active segment lands (Pedagogy Foundations §4) — tighter for online-sync, looser only with stated reason
    • Each segment: id (S1, S2…), minutes, mode (input / active / check), the one idea it carries, and which outcome it serves
    • For each active slot, name a candidate technique from references/active_learning_catalog.md sized to class and modality — the activity_designer adapts it; you reserve the time and state the purpose
    • Novice audience per learner profile → worked example before any open problem (§9)
  4. Plan closure: a check that produces evidence — minute paper, exit ticket, one final clicker question — plus a one-sentence forward link to the next meeting. Never end on "any questions?" into silence.
  5. Write contingency notes: which segment compresses or drops if running long (never the closure check), and the extension task if running short. Name them explicitly — "speed up" is not a contingency.
  6. Present at checkpoint with: the timing budget as a table, where actives land and why, what didn't fit (cut content is a professor decision, not yours), and any orphan-content or overstuffed-meeting flags.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
