What it does

School Choice Decision is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Choose the right school for a specific child by weighing what actually matters to them and your family — not just rankings. Use when asked how to choose a school, compare schools for my kid, which school is best, or help me decide on a school. Produces a priorities profile for this child, a comparison of the options on the factors that matter (fit, teaching, environment, logistics, cost), the questions to ask and things to observe on visits, a weighted decision, and a note that a good fit beats a high ranking.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

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

School Choice Decision loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 135 tokens; SKILL.md has 512 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~135
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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
Choose the right school for a specific child by weighing what actually matters to them and your family — not just rankings. Use when asked how to choose a school, compare schools for my kid, which school is best, or help me decide on a school. Produces a priorities profile for this child, a comparison of the options on the factors that matter (fit, teaching, environment, logistics, cost), the questions to ask and things to observe on visits, a weighted decision, and a note that a good fit beats a high ranking.

School Choice Decision

The highest-ranked school isn't automatically right for your kid — a shy child, a kid who needs structure, or one with a particular passion may thrive somewhere a league table rates lower. This clarifies what matters for this specific child and family, compares the real options against that, and gives you a weighted decision plus the questions to actually ask on a visit.

What This Skill Produces

  • A child-and-family priorities profile — this child's needs and temperament, plus family constraints (logistics, cost, values)
  • A comparison on what matters — the options across fit, teaching quality, environment/culture, support, extracurriculars, logistics, and cost — not rankings alone
  • Visit questions & observations — what to ask staff and notice about the students, classrooms, and culture
  • A weighted decision — the options scored against your priorities, with the trade-offs made explicit
  • A fit-over-ranking reminder — where a lower-ranked school may genuinely be the better choice for this child

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The child — age, temperament, strengths, needs, any specific requirements
  • The options — the schools/types under consideration (or a request to think through types)
  • Family priorities — what matters most (academics, environment, values, arts/sports, logistics)
  • Constraints — commute, cost/fees, admissions realities
  • Timeline — application deadlines and decision date

Framework: Fit First, Then Compare

  1. Start with the child. Their temperament and needs (structure vs. freedom, big vs. small, particular strengths or challenges) should anchor the whole decision.
  2. Look past the ranking. League tables measure averages, not fit — factor teaching quality and culture, but weigh them against this child's needs.
  3. Compare on real factors. Environment, support, class size, extracurriculars, logistics, and cost often matter more day-to-day than a headline score.
  4. Visit and observe. Give the questions to ask and the things to notice — how students behave, staff warmth, the feel of the place — which reveal more than a brochure.
  5. Decide with weights. Score the options against the family's priorities, surface the trade-offs, and make an explicit, confident choice.

Output Format

School choice: child [age/temperament] · priorities [x]

This child needs: [structure/freedom, size, strengths, support needs].

Compare

SchoolFit for childTeachingCultureLogisticsCost

On visits — ask/observe: [questions for staff · what to notice in students/classrooms/culture]. Weighted call: [option] — because [ties to priorities]; trade-off: [what you give up]. Remember: the best fit often beats the best ranking for a specific kid.

Quality Checks

  • Anchors on the specific child's temperament and needs
  • Weighs fit and culture alongside (not just) rankings
  • Compares on day-to-day factors, not headline scores only
  • Provides visit questions and observations
  • Delivers a weighted decision with explicit trade-offs

Anti-Patterns

  • Choosing by ranking alone regardless of the child.
  • Ignoring the child's temperament/needs.
  • Brochure-level comparison with no visit guidance.
  • Hiding the trade-offs in a falsely clean answer.
  • Overlooking logistics/cost that shape daily life.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I choose the right school for my daughter?"
  • "Compare these two schools for my son who's quite shy."
  • "Is the top-ranked school actually the best choice for my kid?"
  • "What should I ask when I visit a school?"
  • "Help me decide between a big school and a small one for my child."
