Evidence-based assessment design with rubrics, feedback strategies, and formative checkpoints. Aligns each assessment to learning objectives with Bloom's taxonomy and applies Nicol's 7 principles of good feedback practice. Reads the /idstack:learning-objectives output and extends the manifest with assessment specs. Use when asked to design assessments, write rubrics, plan feedback, or add formative checks. (idstack).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

## Preamble: Interaction Conventions

idstack runs only in Claude Code. Skill bodies name these Claude Code tools:

- **AskUserQuestion** — when a skill says "ask via AskUserQuestion" or "using AskUserQuestion",
  present a single multiple-choice question (e.g., "Which of these best describes X?")
  and stop, waiting for the user's answer before proceeding. Ask **one** question at a time,
  never batch. This maps to the `AskUserQuestion` tool. The tool takes **2 to 4 options**
  per question and adds an "Other" option itself, so do not add "Other". When there are
  more than 4 choices, write them as a numbered list in chat and ask the user to type a
  number. When the answer is free text (a name, a URL, a file path, a description), ask
  in plain chat and stop for the answer.
- **Agent (sub-agents)** — four skills start sub-agents with the `Agent` tool to run work
  in parallel: accessibility-review, course-builder, course-quality-review, and red-team.
  The written-out steps after each dispatch define the work. If a sub-agent fails or

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add savvides/idstack/assessment-design@sha256:a2a7cfead5f5ce90

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.950ac90, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
