stage-design SKILL.md skillA

stage-design from thu-maic/openmaic is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add thu-maic/openmaic/stage-design@git:20261028.b55a2b2

Pins git:20261028.b55a2b2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

The baseline method for building ONE stage — a single classroom — with this runtime. Covers how the plan is settled in conversation, the order the generation tools are called in, how the classroom roster is written, when narration has to be re-synthesized, and what must be true before a stage is called done. Load this before generating or rebuilding any stage from scratch, whatever its subject; it is the floor the topic skills build on, not an alternative to them.

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

# Building one stage

A stage is one classroom: one settled plan, one roster, one deck of pages. This
is how a stage is built here, whatever its subject.

A topic skill (`deep-interactive`, `vocational`, `deep-research`,
`teacher-style-clone`, …) may shape what the stage contains — its structure, its
page types, how scenes are named — and where one is active its instructions win
on those questions. The sequence below is not one of those questions: it is the
same under every topic skill. Read this one first, then the topic skill.

Nothing here applies to a stage that already has pages. A stage with persisted
pages is edited, not built (see `pro-editing`).

## The build sequence

Build a NEW stage only when there are no persisted pages yet. Then, in this
order:

1. **Plan the stage in the conversation.** Propose the page plan yourself —
   each page with its `title`, `type` (`slide` / `quiz` / `interactive` /
   `pbl`) and `brief` (this page's teaching intent and content outline, the
   same information a planned outline slot used to carry) — in page order.
   Settle the plan with the user through `ask_user` before creating anything:
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add thu-maic/openmaic/stage-design@sha256:c9b5411908311d9d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.b55a2b2, 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.
