What it does

Interdisciplinary Real World Connection Mapper is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Map curriculum connections across multiple subjects for a real-world problem or authentic context. Use when planning cross-curricular projects or connecting content to real issues.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.4k 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

  • Planning cross-curricular projects
  • Connecting content to real issues

Example prompts

  • “/interdisciplinary-real-world-connection-mapper”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Evidence from the energy audit (Science): What we measured, what we found, where energy is wasted
  2. Data analysis (Mathematics): Quantified savings, graphs, payback calculations
  3. Environmental context (Geography): Why this matters — carbon footprint, global context
  4. Proposed solutions with prototypes (DT): What we recommend, how we designed it, test results
  5. Persuasive communication (English): Formal register, structured argument, clear recommendations

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

Interdisciplinary Real World Connection Mapper loads about 6.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.4k

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 2,112 words (~6,416 tokens).

“Maps the connections between a real-world problem or situation and the disciplinary knowledge required to address it, generating a practical curriculum integration plan that shows what each subject contributes, where subjects genuinely connect, and how to implement the integration within…”
