Generate complete course content from the idstack manifest: syllabus, module pages, assignment descriptions, and rubric documents. Content follows cognitive load principles and adapts to learner expertise level. Reads the full pipeline (needs, objectives, assessments) for the best output. Use when asked to write or generate course content, a syllabus, module pages, or assignments. (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/course-builder@sha256:4c4affb38d2f04d9

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.
