What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
accessibility-review
WCAG 2.1 AA compliance audit plus Universal Design for Learning (UDL 3.0) enhancement review for course designs. Two-tier output: "Must Fix" for accessibility violations and "Should Improve" for UDL recommendations. Works standalone or reads from the idstack project manifest. (idstack)

assessment-design
Evidence-based assessment design with rubrics, feedback strategies, and formative checkpoints. Aligns each assessment to learning objectives using Bloom's taxonomy. Applies Nicol's 7 principles of good feedback practice. Reads from /learning-objectives manifest and extends it with assessment specs. (idstack)
skills/assessment-design/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
course-builder
Generate complete course content from the idstack manifest. Produces syllabus, module pages, assignment descriptions, and rubric documents. Content follows cognitive load principles and adapts to learner expertise level. Reads from the full pipeline (needs, objectives, assessments) for richest output. (idstack)
skills/course-builder/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
course-export
Export course content to any LMS. Generates IMS Common Cartridge files (.imscc) compatible with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L, or pushes directly to Canvas via REST API. Reads from /course-builder output and the idstack manifest. The output IS the course. (idstack)
skills/course-export/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
course-import
Universal course import from any LMS. Reads IMS Common Cartridge files, pasted course documents, or Canvas REST API. Maps course structure to the idstack manifest with quality flags, task analysis, and Bloom's classification. Works with Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L. (idstack)
skills/course-import/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
course-quality-review
Evidence-based course quality audit aligned with Quality Matters standards and Community of Inquiry framework. Reviews structural quality, teaching/social/cognitive presence, and constructive alignment. Works standalone or reads from the idstack project manifest for richer analysis. (idstack)

learn
Manage project learnings. Search, list, delete, promote, and export what idstack has learned across sessions. Use when asked to "what have we learned", "show learnings", "prune stale learnings", or "export learnings". (idstack)
skills/learn/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
learning-objectives
Evidence-based learning objective development with revised Bloom's taxonomy classification and bidirectional alignment checking. Reads from /needs-analysis manifest and extends it with ILOs, alignment matrix, and expertise reversal flags. (idstack)
skills/learning-objectives/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
needs-analysis
Evidence-based three-level needs assessment for instructional design. Guides you through organizational, task, and learner analysis before building a course. Creates a shared project manifest that downstream skills (/learning-objectives, /course-quality-review) read and extend. (idstack)
skills/needs-analysis/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
pipeline
Pipeline orchestrator for idstack. Chains skills from /needs-analysis through /course-export in evidence-based order, auto-skipping completed skills. Handles fresh starts (no manifest) and resumption (partial pipeline). (idstack)
skills/pipeline/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab) -
red-team
Adversarial course design audit across 5 dimensions: alignment stress test, evidence verification, cognitive load analysis, learner persona simulation, and prerequisite chain integrity. Produces a confidence score (0-100). Runs in a clean-context sub-agent so synthesis is unbiased by build history. Works standalone or reads from the idstack project manifest. (idstack)

Review before you install
A skill is a set of instructions and scripts your agent will follow, and it can run code on your machine. Read the SKILL.md and any scripts first — this listing is not a security review.
