Use when Codex needs to create, edit, publish, package, or validate The Colab CourseViewerPlatform course content, including tenant course repos, course.json, blueprint.json, module manifests, markdown lessons, quizzes, generated educational images, HTML widgets, and live CourseViewerPlatform content checks.

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.

What the file says

# Colab Course Publisher

## Goal

Build CourseViewerPlatform-compatible course packages, validate their modules, and verify tenant-published content after deployment.

## Quick triage

Use this when:
- Creating a new tenant course under `courses/` plus reusable modules under `modules/`.
- Adding or editing lessons, quizzes, images, videos, markdown HTML, or widget HTML.
- Publishing tenant content repos such as `mycourse-work/<tenant>` and checking live course endpoints.
- Validating a course root, a single course, a single module, or a tenant content root before upload/deploy.

Do not use this for:
- General LMS, SCORM, Moodle, or unrelated course-authoring formats.
- Course strategy only, unless the output must become CourseViewerPlatform files.
- General platform renderer bugs, unless course content changes or live content verification is part of the task.

## Core workflow

1. Prefer the module-first format: `courses/<courseId>/course.json` or `blueprint.json` plus sibling `modules/<moduleId>/manifest.json`.
2. Read `references/course-format.md` before creating or reshaping course files.
3. Keep module lessons flat at the module root, with module-local assets in `assets/`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/colab-course-publisher@sha256:d7a8c4933fb46e75

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, 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.
