What it does
Practice Problem Sequence Designer is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Generate a scaffolded sequence of practice problems with graduated difficulty and strategic variability. Use when creating worksheets, homework sets, or independent practice materials.
Its SKILL.md is about 5k 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 Project scaffolding and 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
- Creating worksheets
- Independent practice materials
Example prompts
- “/practice-problem-sequence-designer”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The problem sequence assumes a single skill focus. Real exam problems often combine multiple skills (percentage change + reading a graph +…
- Surface feature variation may confuse students who haven't mastered the basic procedure. For very low-ability students, too much variation…
- The monitoring guide requires the teacher to circulate effectively. Designing good problems is necessary but not sufficient — the teacher…
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
Practice Problem Sequence Designer loads about 5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,741 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 1,741 words (~4,950 tokens).
“Designs a sequenced set of practice problems that follows principles of distributed difficulty, progressive scaffold reduction, and surface feature variation — moving students from near-transfer (problems very similar to the taught example) through to far-transfer (problems that look different but…”
