Grad Blooms

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user needs to write learning objectives at specific cognitive levels
• Align assessment with instructional goals
• Evaluate curriculum for cognitive complexity distribution — even if they say how to write learning objectives
• What level of thinking does this require

Example prompts

• “how to write learning objectives”
• “what level of thinking does this require”
• “higher-order thinking skills”
• “/grad-blooms”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

1. 1Identify Knowledge Type
2. 2Select Cognitive Level
3. 3Write Objectives
4. 4Align Assessment

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Grad Blooms loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 342 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~115

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.1k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~8.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Apply Bloom's revised taxonomy to classify learning objectives and design assessments across six cognitive levels. Use this skill when the user needs to write learning objectives at specific cognitive levels, align assessment with instructional goals, or evaluate curriculum for cognitive complexity distribution — even if they say 'how to write learning objectives', 'what level of thinking does this require', or 'higher-order thinking skills'.

IRON LAW: Higher-Order Thinking REQUIRES a Foundation of Lower-Order Knowledge

You cannot analyze what you don't understand. You cannot evaluate
what you haven't analyzed. You cannot create without evaluation criteria.
The hierarchy is:
  Remember → Understand → Apply → Analyze → Evaluate → Create
Skipping levels produces superficial "higher-order" work built on
a weak knowledge foundation.

# Learning Objectives Analysis: {Course/Module}

## Taxonomy Mapping
| Objective | Cognitive Level | Knowledge Type | Action Verb | Assessment Method |
|-----------|----------------|---------------|-------------|-------------------|
| ... | Remember/Understand/Apply/Analyze/Evaluate/Create | Factual/Conceptual/Procedural/Metacognitive | ... | ... |

## Cognitive Level Distribution
- Lower-order (Remember, Understand, Apply): {count, %}
- Higher-order (Analyze, Evaluate, Create): {count, %}
- Balance assessment: {adequate or needs adjustment}

## Alignment Check
- Objectives ↔ Instruction: {aligned / gaps}
- Objectives ↔ Assessment: {aligned / gaps}

## Recommendations
{Specific suggestions for improving cognitive level balance and alignment}
