What it does

Feedback Quality Analyser is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Analyse existing written feedback for quality, specificity, actionability, and impact on student learning. Use when reviewing teacher or peer feedback to improve feedback practices.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.7k 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, covering Performance reviews. 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

  • Reviewing teacher
  • Peer feedback to improve feedback practices

Example prompts

  • “/feedback-quality-analyser”

Workflow steps

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

  1. "Good effort" is self-level feedback. It addresses Priya's effort (a personal quality), not her work. It provides no information about…
  2. "Some really nice points" is unspecified task-level feedback. Which points? What made them effective? Without specificity, Priya can't…
  3. "You need to work on your analysis — try to go deeper" is vague feed-forward. This is the most common feedback failure in secondary…
  4. "Your writing style is lovely" is self-level feedback with a gender dimension. It compliments Priya as a writer rather than identifying…
  5. "6/10" is a judgment, not feedback. Butler (1988) found that when comments are accompanied by grades, students attend to the grade and…

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

Feedback Quality Analyser loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,600 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
~4.7k

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 1,600 words (~4,658 tokens).

“Takes a piece of teacher or peer feedback, analyses it against Hattie & Timperley's (2007) four-level feedback model, and rewrites it to improve its level, specificity, and actionability. The analysis identifies whether the feedback operates at the task, process, self-regulation…”
