# Plan Your Syllabus See Which Weeks Are Locked

> Attach your syllabus and Claude shows which weeks are locked by real prerequisites and which you're free to rearrange — right in chat as you work through the order. Use for tasks like “Plan your syllabus” and close variants. TEMPLATE — customize before installing.

## About

# Plan your syllabus — skill template

Turn this template into a working skill by resolving every `TODO`. The seed prompt
below is the published Anthropic example this template was derived from; your skill
should generalize it for repeated, hands-off use.

## Outcome

Attach your syllabus and Claude shows which weeks are locked by real prerequisites and which you're free to rearrange — right in chat as you work through the order.

TODO: Restate the outcome for YOUR context in one sentence: who runs this, on what
input, producing what artifact, how often.

## Seed prompt (verbatim from source, © Anthropic PBC)

```text
I'm building a 15-week Intro to Macro syllabus and I keep second-guessing the order. Can you map out which topics actually depend on which — like, what do they need to get first before the later stuff makes sense? I want to see where I have flexibility and where the sequence is locked. If I click a topic, tell me if there's another common way to order it.
```

## Required context and inputs

- Syllabus (PDF or document)
- Optional: Google Drive integration
- Optional: Projects for semester-to-semester refinement
- TODO: exact file paths / folders / message formats this skill should expect
- TODO: domain context the model cannot infer (naming conventions, thresholds, house style)

## Tools, connectors, APIs, and authentication

- Google Drive
- TODO: confirm which connectors are enabled in the runtime that will execute this skill
- Authentication: connectors authenticate via their own OAuth flows — this skill must
  NEVER ask for, store, or echo credentials, tokens, or API keys. If auth is missing,
  stop and tell the user which connector to enable.

## Permissions and sensitive actions

- Reads: TODO (folders, channels, records this skill may read)
- Writes: TODO (what it may create/modify, and where)
- Held back for the primary agent / human: sending external communications, financial
  transactions, deleting or overwriting originals, submitting web forms

## Workflow

1. Describe the task (identify topics with dependencies vs. flexible ordering)
2. Give Claude context (attach working syllabus; optionally specify textbook)
3. Claude creates visual output (dependency graph with locked/flexible tags)
4. Follow-up prompts (request reorderings; generate revised syllabus)
5. Tips and troubleshooting (phrasing matters; validate against course knowledge)

TODO: adapt the steps above (from the source page) into imperative instructions for the executing agent, including what to do between steps.

## Decision points

- TODO: list each point where the skill must choose between paths, with the rule to apply
- Default rule: prefer the reversible option; when two readings of the input are
  plausible, surface both rather than picking silently.

## Validation criteria

- Output matches the outcome statement above (spot-check against the seed prompt's asks)
- Every factual claim is traceable to a provided input, connector record, or cited source
- TODO: add one domain-specific check a reviewer in your org would apply

## Failure modes and fallbacks

- Connector unavailable or unauthenticated → pause, tell the user exactly which connector to enable and why; offer a degraded run from uploaded files
- Ambiguous or missing input → ask one targeted question; if unattended, state the assumption inline and proceed
- Any step would take a sensitive/irreversible action → stop and hand back to the user (see Delegation)

## Delegation

Apply the repo's delegation policy (`docs/delegation-policy.md` — bundle or restate
it if you install this skill outside the repo). Defaults for this template:

- Run single-agent unless a step fans out over independent items (files, records,
  vendors, channels). Only independent work parallelizes.
- Each delegated task must ship with: the minimal context slice it needs, an explicit
  output contract, a validation check the primary agent runs on the result, and a
  fallback if it returns empty or fails.
- Final review, synthesis, and every sensitive action listed above stay with the
  primary agent.
- TODO: name the concrete subtasks (if any) that qualify for delegation here.
