What it does
Individual Spacing Algorithm Explainer is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Explain and configure individual spacing algorithms using student performance data and forgetting curves. Use when personalising retention schedules in adaptive learning platforms.
Its SKILL.md is about 6.1k 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 Educational content. 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
- Personalising retention schedules in adaptive learning platforms
- Tasks that involve Educational content
Example prompts
- “/individual-spacing-algorithm-explainer”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Keep it simple. You have two 5-minute slots per week. Don't try to track individual students' spacing schedules — that's what an AI system…
- Use mini-whiteboards or exit tickets. The fastest way to do retrieval practice in 5 minutes is mini-whiteboards ("Show me: what do…
- Don't re-teach during review slots. The 5-minute starter is for RETRIEVAL, not re-teaching. If students can't remember, let them struggle…
- Interleave after Week 4. Once items have been reviewed 2-3 times, start mixing them with other topics. Interleaving feels harder (students…
- The schedule is a starting point, not a script. If your Tuesday quiz shows that ribosomes have jumped to 85%, great — move them to 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.
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
Individual Spacing Algorithm Explainer loads about 6.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,305 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 2,305 words (~6,068 tokens).
“Generates a personalised spaced repetition schedule for a specific set of knowledge items based on student performance data, and explains the algorithm logic in teacher-friendly terms. This skill does NOT execute the spacing algorithm — execution requires a system like…”
