  • Create grading criteria

What it does

Rubric Builder is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Create a clear grading rubric with criteria and performance-level descriptors that make scoring fair, fast, and consistent. Use when asked to build a rubric, create grading criteria, design an assessment scoring guide, or make grading more objective. Produces an analytic rubric table (criteria × performance levels) with concrete, observable descriptors and a points scheme — plus a short version students can self-check against.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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 Quizzes and assessments. 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 build a rubric
  • Create grading criteria
  • Design an assessment scoring guide
  • Make grading more objective

Example prompts

  • “/rubric-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

Rubric Builder loads about 701 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 298 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~701

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
Create a clear grading rubric with criteria and performance-level descriptors that make scoring fair, fast, and consistent. Use when asked to build a rubric, create grading criteria, design an assessment scoring guide, or make grading more objective. Produces an analytic rubric table (criteria × performance levels) with concrete, observable descriptors and a points scheme — plus a short version students can self-check against.

Rubric Builder Skill

A good rubric turns "this feels like a B" into a defensible, repeatable judgment — and tells students exactly how to do better. This skill builds one with observable descriptors at each level.

Working from a brief

Given the assignment and level, build the full rubric anyway, inferring sensible criteria and weighting. Mark anything assumed. Never leave "[describe level]"; write concrete descriptors.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • The assignment / task being graded and grade or level
  • What matters most (the criteria, or let the skill propose them)
  • Scale (e.g. 4-level: Exemplary/Proficient/Developing/Beginning) and total points
  • Type — analytic (per-criterion) or holistic (single overall judgment)

Output Format

Rubric overview
  • Assignment · Level · Total points
  • Criteria & weighting: list each criterion and its share of the grade.
Analytic rubric
Criterion (weight)Exemplary (4)Proficient (3)Developing (2)Beginning (1)
[Criterion 1]observable descriptor
[Criterion 2]
[Criterion 3]

Each cell describes what the work actually looks like at that level — observable evidence, not "excellent/good/poor."

Scoring

How levels convert to points/grade, including weighting.

Student-facing checklist

A short "before you submit, check you've…" version students can self-assess against.

Feedback stems (optional)

2–3 sentence starters per criterion to speed up consistent written feedback.

Quality Checks

  • Descriptors are observable and specific (what the work shows), not vague labels
  • Levels are clearly distinguishable — the jump from one to the next is a real difference
  • Criteria are weighted and sum correctly to the total
  • Includes a student-facing version so the rubric guides, not just grades

Anti-Patterns

  • Descriptors that just add adjectives ("good" → "very good" → "excellent")
  • Overlapping levels a grader can't tell apart
  • Criteria that measure effort/length instead of the learning goal
  • A rubric only the teacher can read

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Build a rubric."
  • "Create grading criteria."
  • "Design an assessment scoring guide."
  • "Make grading more objective."
