What it does
Agency Circles For Systems Action is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Map control, influence, and concern after systems analysis. Use when students need wise agency without being made responsible for everything.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: 165 evidence-grounded AI skills for teachers, school leaders and EdTech builders—pedagogy, learning science, curriculum, assessment and regeneration. Claude, Codex and Hermes.
When your agent uses it
- Students need wise agency without being made responsible for everything
Example prompts
- “/agency-circles-for-systems-action”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Making control too large. Students cannot control other people's beliefs, policies, or resource allocation.
- Making influence too small. Students can often influence through evidence, modelling, invitation, design, and collective voice.
- Confusing concern with apathy. Naming concern can be honest and compassionate.
- Heroic individualism. Systems action is usually collective and relational.
- Ignoring adult responsibility. Some issues require adults to act.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6bbbce4. 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.
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
Agency Circles For Systems Action loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 474 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 474 words (~2,272 tokens).
“Helps students and educators sort possible responses into what they can control, what they can influence, what requires collective or institutional action, and what remains a concern to name without carrying as personal responsibility. It adapts the Circle of Control…”
