At a glance

Build a standards-aligned K-12 lesson plan with clear objectives, a timed activity sequence, checks for understanding, and differentiation.

  • Asked to plan a lesson
  • SKILL.md covers Working from a brief, Required Inputs, Output Format and Quality Checks, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Write a lesson plan

What it does

Lesson Plan Builder is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Build a standards-aligned K-12 lesson plan with clear objectives, a timed activity sequence, checks for understanding, and differentiation. Use when asked to plan a lesson, write a lesson plan, align a lesson to a standard, or turn a topic into a class period. Produces measurable objectives, a bell-to-bell timeline (hook → instruction → practice → close), formative checks, differentiation for varied learners, and the materials list.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 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 Lesson planning. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to plan a lesson
  • Write a lesson plan
  • Align a lesson to a standard
  • Turn a topic into a class period

Example prompts

  • “/lesson-plan-builder”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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

Lesson Plan Builder loads about 784 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 377 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~784

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.

description
Build a standards-aligned K-12 lesson plan with clear objectives, a timed activity sequence, checks for understanding, and differentiation. Use when asked to plan a lesson, write a lesson plan, align a lesson to a standard, or turn a topic into a class period. Produces measurable objectives, a bell-to-bell timeline (hook → instruction → practice → close), formative checks, differentiation for varied learners, and the materials list.

Lesson Plan Builder Skill

A good lesson plan is not a topic and a worksheet — it's a designed arc where every minute has a purpose and the teacher knows, before the bell, how they'll tell if it worked. This skill builds a plan backward from a measurable objective, with the checks for understanding and differentiation that make it survive a real classroom.

Working from a brief

Given a topic, grade, and standard (or just a topic), write the full plan — infer the grade-appropriate objective and align to a plausible standard, labeling the assumption. Fit it to one class period unless told otherwise.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label):

  • Grade level and subject, and the topic or standard
  • Class length and any constraint (materials, tech, class size, mixed levels)
  • Where students are — prior lesson / what they already know

Output Format

Objective(s)

Measurable and student-facing: "Students will be able to [verb] [content] as measured by [evidence]." Use observable verbs (identify, compare, model), not "understand."

Standard alignment

The standard code + a one-line note on how the lesson meets it (labeled as inferred if you supplied it).

Lesson timeline (bell-to-bell)
TimePhaseTeacher doesStudents do
0–5Hook / do-now
5–15Direct instruction
15–30Guided → independent practice
30–40Check + closeexit ticket
Checks for understanding

The formative moments — a question, a quick write, an exit ticket — and what answer tells you to move on vs. reteach.

Show full SKILL.md (141 more words)Show less
Differentiation

Concrete moves for students who need support, who finish early, and for language learners (not "give more time").

Materials

Everything needed, ready to gather.

Quality Checks

  • The objective is measurable with an observable verb and stated evidence
  • The plan fills the period bell-to-bell with a hook and an explicit close
  • At least one check for understanding, with a reteach trigger
  • Differentiation covers support, extension, and language needs — concretely
  • Activities actually produce the evidence the objective names

Anti-Patterns

  • "Students will understand X" — not observable, not assessable
  • A topic and a worksheet with no arc or timing
  • No check for understanding until the summative test
  • Differentiation that's only "more/less time"
  • Activities that don't produce evidence of the stated objective

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Plan a lesson."
  • "Write a lesson plan."
  • "Align a lesson to a standard."
  • "Turn a topic into a class period."
