What it does
Critical Thinking Task Designer is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Design a critical thinking task targeting specific skills like evaluating evidence, identifying bias, or analysing arguments. Use when embedding critical analysis into subject lessons.
Its SKILL.md is about 6.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Embeddings. 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
- Embedding critical analysis into subject lessons
- Tasks that involve Embeddings
Example prompts
- “/critical-thinking-task-designer”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- What is the strongest piece of evidence used? Why is it strong?
- What is the weakest piece of evidence or reasoning? Why is it weak?
- What is ONE thing this argument ASSUMES without proving?
- What would this argument need to be MORE convincing?
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
Critical Thinking Task Designer loads about 6.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,289 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 2,289 words (~6,315 tokens).
“Designs a task requiring genuine critical evaluation — not just comprehension or recall, but the evaluation of evidence, identification of assumptions, analysis of competing perspectives, or detection of bias — embedded in specific subject content. Crucially, the output includes criteria…”
