What it does

Bloom Taxonomy Engine is an agent skill from revfactory/harness-100. A specialized skill for question design and learning level analysis using Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Used by examiner and learning-designer agents when creating questions at various cognitive levels and hierarchizing learning objectives. Automatically applied in contexts such as 'Bloom's Taxonomy', 'cognitive levels', 'question design', 'learning objective classification', 'higher-order thinking'. However, official curriculum certification and school curriculum planning are outside the scope of…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Lesson planning

Example prompts

  • “s Taxonomy”
  • “cognitive levels”
  • “question design”
  • “/bloom-taxonomy-engine”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8e8d35c. 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

Bloom Taxonomy Engine loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 138 tokens; SKILL.md has 368 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~138
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Bloom Taxonomy Engine — Cognitive-Level Question Design Tool

A specialized skill that enhances the examiner and learning-designer agents' question design capabilities.

Target Agents

  • examiner — Cognitive-level question creation, difficulty balancing
  • learning-designer — Learning objective hierarchization, level-appropriate activity design

Bloom's Cognitive Domain — 6 Levels

Per-Level Question Design Guide

Level 1: Remember

Item types: Multiple choice, true/false, term matching

Example:
Q: Which of the following belongs to the transport layer of the TCP/IP protocol?
(a) HTTP  (b) TCP  (c) IP  (d) ARP

Recommended proportion: 15-20% of the exam

Level 2: Understand

Item types: Interpretive multiple choice, short answer, comparison

Example:
Q: Explain the differences between TCP and UDP in terms of reliability and speed.

Recommended proportion: 20-25%

Level 3: Apply

Item types: Calculation problems, code writing, case application

Example:
Q: Calculate the number of usable hosts for a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192.

Recommended proportion: 25-30%

Level 4: Analyze

Item types: Case analysis, log analysis, comparative analysis

Example:
Q: Analyze the following network failure log and deduce the cause.

Recommended proportion: 15-20%

Level 5: Evaluate

Item types: Judgment essays, design comparison evaluation

Example:
Q: Evaluate which of the two database designs below is more suitable
   from the perspectives of normalization, performance, and maintainability.

Recommended proportion: 5-10%

Level 6: Create

Item types: Design problems, projects, comprehensive essays

Example:
Q: Design a system architecture that meets the following requirements.

Recommended proportion: 5-10%

Question Quality Verification Checklist

  • Is each item tagged with its Bloom level?
  • Does the overall Bloom distribution match the exam's purpose?
  • Are higher-order thinking items (Analyze + Evaluate + Create) at least 30%?
  • Is there no cue leakage between items (one item hinting at another's answer)?
  • Are distractors plausible (attractive wrong answers)?
