What it does
Developmental Band Translator is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Tags harness-decomposed curriculum items (KUDs, LTs, criteria) with a school's developmental band metadata while preserving source voice and labels. Supply the band schema; the skill derives mapping rules from it.
Its SKILL.md is about 5.6k 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 Writing & Content, covering Translation and Curriculum and course design. 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
- Tasks that involve Translation
- Tasks that involve Curriculum and course design
Example prompts
- “/developmental-band-translator”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the progression structure. Note source_type, band_labels, and age ranges. If both age_range_hint and per-band approximate_age_range…
- Build a band-mapping table for this source. Using the band_schema and the source's per-band age ranges, identify which school bands…
- Tag every KUD item.
- Tag every LT. An LT's school band is the union of its constituent KUD items' bands (max-span rule). If any constituent is ambiguous, the…
- Tag criteria (if criterion_bank_json supplied). Each criterion inherits its parent LT's band unless its content narrows it. Same field set…
- Emit summary counts and skill flags. Count items per school band, ambiguity flags, teacher-review flags, and low-confidence tags. Emit a…
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 (its code samples are json).
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
Developmental Band Translator loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,798 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 1,798 words (~5,637 tokens).
“This skill tags an external curriculum — already decomposed by the curriculum harness into KUD items, learning targets, and (optionally) criteria — with a school's developmental band labels. The school's band schema is supplied as an input; the skill reads…”
