standards-alignment SKILL.md skillA
standards-alignment from cbrock84/headcount is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/standards-alignment@git:20260916.dfd6fa1Pins git:20260916.dfd6fa1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Aligns learning material to the standard it claims — choosing the right framework for the grade and subject, citing standards by code rather than reproducing their text, and telling a real alignment from a decorative one. Use this to align a worksheet, lesson or workbook to Common Core, NGSS or a state framework, to check an alignment claim before publishing, or to decide what may lawfully be printed on the cover.
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
# Standards alignment An alignment claim is a promise to a buyer who cannot verify it quickly. Most published alignment is decorative — a code printed in a corner, chosen after the worksheet was written, that the task does not actually assess. It survives because nobody checks, until a district curriculum reviewer does. ## Align to the verb, not the topic A standard is written as a performance: what the student does, to what, under what conditions. The topic is the least specific part of it and the part most alignment stops at. `3.NF.A.1` is about fractions. It is specifically about *understanding a fraction as a quantity formed by parts of a whole* — so a page of shaded-circle identification aligns, and a page of fraction addition drills does not, however much both are "fractions in third grade." The test to apply before printing a code: **could a student complete this task correctly without doing what the standard describes?** If yes, the alignment is decorative. A word problem solvable by guessing from the answer format assesses test-taking, and it is aligned to nothing. ## Know which framework applies …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/standards-alignment@sha256:0e6241b60bbd6b3dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.dfd6fa1, 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.
