What it does
Spaced Practice Scheduler is an agent skill from GarethManning/education-agent-skills. Design a spaced retrieval schedule for any topic list and timeline. Use when planning units, term sequences, or revision programmes.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k 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
- Revision programmes
Example prompts
- “/spaced-practice-scheduler”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The schedule assumes relatively even topic length. If one topic requires 8 lessons of new teaching and another requires 2, the spacing…
- Optimal spacing intervals from Cepeda et al. (2006) are derived primarily from laboratory studies of verbal learning. Transfer to complex…
- The schedule does not account for school disruptions (assemblies, field trips, cancelled lessons, teacher absence). Teachers should treat…
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
Spaced Practice Scheduler loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,369 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 1,369 words (~4,314 tokens).
