What it does

Digital Worked Example Sequence is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Create an interactive digital worked example sequence with fading for online or blended delivery. Use when building e-learning modules, LMS content, or app-based instruction.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.2k 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 Education. 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

  • Building e-learning modules
  • App-based instruction

Example prompts

  • “/digital-worked-example-sequence”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Worked examples are most effective for NOVICE learners. As students become proficient, worked examples become redundant and can actually…
  2. Digital self-explanation prompts can become perfunctory. Students may learn to type the minimum response to unlock the next step without…
  3. The fading schedule above is a fixed sequence. Truly adaptive fading would adjust the pace based on each student's performance — fading…

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

Digital Worked Example Sequence loads about 5.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,788 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.2k

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 1,788 words (~5,238 tokens).

“Designs a worked example sequence optimised for digital delivery — incorporating self-explanation prompts, a systematic fading schedule, and interactivity design that exploits what digital environments offer beyond paper. The sequence moves students from studying complete worked examples (where every step…”
