What it does

Edtech Advisor is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. Strategic advisory for edtech founders on FERPA/COPPA compliance, K-12 vs higher-ed vs L&D dynamics, district sales, and pricing. Use when scoping an edtech product or navigating procurement, or mentioning edtech, K-12, FERPA, COPPA, or LMS.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/sdpa_inventory_template.md`, `references/edtech_market_dynamics.md` and `references/student_data_privacy.md`).

It sits in Education, covering Educational content and Vendor and procurement management. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Scoping an edtech product
  • Navigating procurement
  • Mentioning edtech

Example prompts

  • “/edtech-advisor”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run student-data compliance checker on a 1-paragraph product description
  2. Identify primary market (K-12 / Higher Ed / Corporate L&D / Direct-to-Learner)
  3. Read the corresponding section of references/edtech_market_dynamics.md

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9a1487. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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

Edtech Advisor loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 422 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.7k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Edtech Advisor

Strategic frameworks for education-technology founders, operators, and product leaders.

Disclaimer: Frameworks and orientation only. Not legal advice. Edtech compliance (FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, state laws) requires specialist counsel. Use this skill to organize strategy.


Keywords

edtech, K-12, higher education, higher ed, university, college, FERPA, COPPA, GDPR-K, student data, LMS, SIS, learning management, school district, RFP, district sales, corporate learning, L&D, training, certification


Quick Start

  1. Run student-data compliance checker on a 1-paragraph product description
  2. Identify primary market (K-12 / Higher Ed / Corporate L&D / Direct-to-Learner)
  3. Read the corresponding section of references/edtech_market_dynamics.md

Core Workflows

Workflow 1: Student Data Compliance Scoping
  1. Run: python scripts/student_data_compliance_checker.py description.txt
  2. Cross-reference with references/student_data_privacy.md
  3. Hand findings to counsel — FERPA / COPPA / GDPR-K + state laws
  4. Document scope and BAA / Student Data Privacy Agreement (SDPA) inventory

Time Estimate: 4-6 weeks for first scope.

Workflow 2: Market Selection (K-12 vs HiEd vs Corp)
  1. Read references/edtech_market_dynamics.md
  2. Score product fit against each market: buyer, contract length, sales cycle, pricing benchmarks, churn dynamics
  3. Pick one primary market for first $1M-$5M ARR
  4. Build content, sales motion, and pricing aligned to that market

Time Estimate: 4-8 weeks.

Workflow 3: District Sales Strategy
  1. Map district decision-makers: superintendent, assistant superintendent, CTO, curriculum director, principal, teacher
  2. Plan procurement path: RFP, sole source, statewide cooperative
  3. Plan implementation: PD (professional development), rostering (Clever, ClassLink), SIS integration
  4. Validate with reference districts before broader investment

Time Estimate: 6-12 months for first major district win.

Reference Guides

  • references/student_data_privacy.md — FERPA, COPPA, GDPR-K, state laws (SOPIPA, NY Ed Law 2-d, etc.)
  • references/edtech_market_dynamics.md — K-12, Higher Ed, Corporate L&D, D2C — buyer, sales cycle, pricing

Templates

  • assets/sdpa_inventory_template.md — Student Data Privacy Agreement and compliance posture template

Integration Points

  • Pairs with legal/ for SDPA / DPA contract review
  • Pairs with marketing/launch-strategy for back-to-school launch timing
  • Pairs with c-level-advisor/cs-fundraising-advisor for edtech-specific fundraising

Best Practices

  • Plan for the academic calendar. District purchase cycles peak in spring (for fall) and again at end-of-year. Selling in October to start in November is a non-starter.
  • Sign SDPAs before piloting. Many states require districts to have a Student Data Privacy Agreement before a tool can touch student data — even a free pilot.
  • Don't conflate K-12 and Higher Ed. Different buyers, different sales cycles, different compliance regimes (FERPA applies to both but how it's interpreted differs).
  • Corporate L&D is not edtech. It's HR-tech with edtech roots. Different buyer (CHRO / L&D leader), different metrics (completion, retention), different sales motion.
