What it does

Learning Analytics Interpretation Guide is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Interpret learning analytics data and translate dashboard findings into actionable teaching decisions. Use when reviewing LMS data, quiz patterns, or engagement metrics.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.6k 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 Product metrics. 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 LMS data
  • Engagement metrics

Example prompts

  • “/learning-analytics-interpretation-guide”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The data does not show WHY Q3/Q4 scores are low. The two most likely explanations are (a) students lack exam technique for extended…
  2. The data does not account for student effort and test conditions. A mock exam is not a real exam. Some students may have underperformed…
  3. The comparison with last year is imprecise. Your class averaged 58% vs. last year's 62%. But these are different students taking the same…
  4. Question-level data doesn't reveal individual misconceptions. Q3 at 31% tells you THAT students struggled, not WHERE in the question they…

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

Learning Analytics Interpretation Guide loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,202 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
~5.6k

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 2,202 words (~5,638 tokens).

“Guides a teacher through interpreting a specific learning dataset — assessment results, engagement metrics, study behaviour patterns, or any other quantitative or qualitative data about student learning — to identify actionable patterns and inform specific teaching decisions.
