What it does
Canvas Week Plan is an agent skill from vishalsachdev/canvas-mcp. Student weekly assignment planner for Canvas LMS. Shows all due dates, submission status, grades, and peer reviews across all courses. Use when a student says "what's due", "plan my week", "weekly check", or wants to organize their coursework.
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 Research & Science, covering Peer review and MCP servers. The repository describes itself as: Canvas LMS MCP server — up to 102 tools and 8 agent skills for students & educators. Works with Claude, Cursor, Codex, and 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- A student says whats due
- Wants to organize their coursework
Example prompts
- “plan my week”
- “weekly check”
- “/canvas-week-plan”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eeeb479. 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
Canvas Week Plan loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 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.

- Student weekly assignment planner for Canvas LMS. Shows all due dates, submission status, grades, and peer reviews across all courses. Use when a student says "what's due", "plan my week", "weekly check", or wants to organize their coursework.
Canvas Week Plan
Generate a comprehensive weekly plan for a student, showing all upcoming assignments, current grades, submission status, and pending peer reviews across all enrolled courses.
Prerequisites
- Canvas MCP server must be configured and running in the agent's MCP client (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode)
- The user must have a student role in their Canvas courses
- No anonymization is needed -- students only see their own data
Steps
1. Get Upcoming Assignments
Call the MCP tool get_my_upcoming_assignments with days=7 to retrieve all assignments due in the next week.
Data to collect per assignment:
- Assignment name
- Course name or code
- Due date and time
- Point value
- Assignment type (quiz, essay, discussion, etc.)
2. Check Submission Status
Call the MCP tool get_my_submission_status to determine what has been submitted and what has not.
Categorize each assignment as one of:
- Submitted -- already turned in
- Not submitted -- still needs to be done
- Late -- past due but late submissions still accepted
- Missing -- past due, no late submissions accepted
3. Get Current Grades
Call the MCP tool get_my_course_grades to show academic standing for each enrolled course.
Collect per course:
- Current percentage and letter grade
- Impact of upcoming assignments on grade (if calculable)
4. Check Peer Reviews
Call the MCP tool get_my_peer_reviews_todo to find any pending peer reviews.
Collect per pending review:
- Which assignment needs peer review
- How many reviews are required
- Deadline for completing reviews
- Reviews completed vs. remaining

Notes
- Best used at the start of each week (Sunday or Monday)
- Assignments are sorted by due date, then by point value
- Late and missing assignments are highlighted for attention
- All student-facing tools use the
get_my_*prefix - No privacy concerns since students only access their own data
