What it does
Elaborative Interrogation Generator is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Generate elaborative interrogation prompts that deepen encoding through targeted why and how questions. Use when students memorise without understanding or need deeper processing of content.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.5k 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 memorise without understanding
- Need deeper processing of content
Example prompts
- “/elaborative-interrogation-generator”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Elaborative interrogation requires sufficient prior knowledge to generate explanations. If students have no relevant prior knowledge…
- The evidence base is strongest for factual/conceptual learning, not procedural skills. Pressley et al. (1992) and most elaborative…
- Elaborative interrogation is more effective than re-reading but less effective than retrieval practice. Dunlosky et al. (2013) rated it as…
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
Elaborative Interrogation Generator loads about 4.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,511 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 1,511 words (~4,516 tokens).
“Generates a set of "why?" and "how does this connect?" prompts designed to deepen encoding by forcing students to generate explanations that link new information to existing knowledge. Unlike comprehension questions (which check understanding), elaborative interrogation prompts require students to…”
