A Claude Code plugin for rapidly creating professional, pedagogically-sound curricula for 1-2 day intensive workshops and training programs.

This plugin helps independent consultants, trainers, and instructional designers create comprehensive course materials using backward design methodology and Bloom's taxonomy. It generates structured curricula with learning objectives, lesson plans, assessment rubrics, and supporting materials—all in markdown format for easy version control and collaboration.

• Backward Design Framework: Start with learning outcomes, design assessments, then plan activities
• Bloom's Taxonomy Integration: Create measurable learning objectives at appropriate cognitive levels
• Rapid Course Creation: Generate complete curricula autonomously or step-by-step
• Modular Architecture: Create courses optimized for 1-2 day weekend workshops
• Professional Outputs: Course descriptions, outlines, lesson plans, rubrics, student materials
• Template System: Save and reuse course structures for variants and iterations
• Cascade Invalidation: Automatic staleness detection when source files change
• Export Workflows: Export as complete document, stakeholder summary, or student syllabus
• Delivery Support: Workshop preparation checklists and post-workshop feedback processing
• Quality Gates: Prerequisite validation hooks prevent generating files out of order
• Incremental Updates: Add, remove, or modify individual objectives and modules
• Version Control Ready: Semantic versioning with organized markdown files
• Learner Analysis: Generate learner profiles with prior knowledge, motivations, and transfer environment
• Pre-Work Design: Micro-learning units with fast track/full path for prerequisite coverage
• Spaced Practice: Post-workshop retrieval practice at expanding intervals to combat forgetting curve
• Affective Objectives: Krathwohl's taxonomy support for attitude-change workshops
• Co-Facilitation: Multi-facilitator support with role rotation and handoff protocols
• Accessibility Standards: WCAG 2.1 AA specifications for training materials
• Cultural Adaptation: Localization guidance for cross-cultural delivery
• Content Curation: RARBA framework for evaluating third-party content quality

Commands are organized by curriculum development lifecycle stage:

Provides knowledge on Understanding by Design (UbD) framework for creating effective curricula:

• Stage 1: Identify desired results (learning outcomes)
• Stage 2: Determine acceptable evidence (assessments)
• Stage 3: Plan learning experiences (activities)
• Reference files: assessment design, formative assessment techniques, content curation

Triggers: "use backward design", "create curriculum using UbD", "design learning outcomes first"

Guides creation of measurable learning objectives across cognitive levels:

• Six levels: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create
• Action verb selection for each level
• Assessment type recommendations
• Scaffolding strategies for multi-day workshops
• Affective domain support (Krathwohl's taxonomy) for attitude-change objectives

Triggers: "write learning objectives", "use Bloom's taxonomy", "create measurable outcomes"

Practical guidance for creating inclusive, accessible learning experiences using the three UDL principles:

• Multiple Means of Engagement (the "why" of learning)
• Multiple Means of Representation (the "what" of learning)
• Multiple Means of Action & Expression (the "how" of learning)
• Reference files: accessibility specifications (WCAG 2.1 AA), cultural adaptation guide

Triggers: "apply UDL", "make course accessible", "inclusive design", "universal design for learning"

Practical guidance for designing and facilitating effective virtual and hybrid learning experiences:

• Virtual vs. in-person timing, engagement, and activity differences
• Activity substitution table for converting physical to digital activities
• Hybrid equity rules and co-facilitation model
• Platform-specific tips (Zoom, Teams, Meet)
• Technology checklists and failure backup planning

Triggers: "design virtual workshop", "adapt for remote delivery", "hybrid session", "virtual facilitation"

Autonomous agent that designs complete course curricula from high-level requirements. Takes course topic, audience, and duration, then generates all core curriculum components following backward design principles.

Triggers proactively when user asks to create courses, or invoke manually for autonomous generation.

Validates curriculum quality by checking:

• Alignment between outcomes, assessments, and activities
• Appropriate Bloom's taxonomy usage
• Realistic timing for 1-2 day format
• Assessment-objective correspondence
• Overall pedagogical soundness

Run automatically after generation or invoke with /review-curriculum.

Create .claude/course-curriculum-creator.local.md to customize defaults:

---
# Instructor Information
instructor_name: "Your Name"
instructor_bio: "Your credentials and experience"
organization: "Your Organization"

# Course Defaults
default_duration: "2-day"
default_activity_format: "lab-heavy"  # lab-heavy, lecture-heavy, balanced
default_audience_level: "professional"  # beginner, intermediate, professional, expert

# Output Configuration
courses_directory: "~/courses"
version_strategy: "semantic"  # semantic or date-based

# Assessment Defaults
rubric_scale: "1-5"
rubric_type: "analytical"  # performance, analytical, holistic

# Templates
use_custom_templates: false
template_directory: "~/.claude/course-templates"
---

When you create a course, the following structure is generated:

CourseName-YYYY-MM-DD/
├── 01-planning/
│   ├── course-positioning.md      # Market fit, audience, value proposition
│   ├── course-description.md      # Student-facing description
│   ├── learning-objectives.md     # Bloom's-aligned outcomes
│   ├── learner-profile.md         # Audience analysis (optional)
│   └── content-sources.md         # Third-party content & licensing tracker
├── 02-design/
│   ├── course-outline.md          # Module structure with timing
│   └── lesson-plans.md            # Detailed module plans
├── 03-assessment/
│   └── rubrics.md                 # 1-5 scale evaluation criteria
└── 04-materials/
    ├── pre-work.md                # Pre-workshop micro-learning (optional)
    ├── spaced-practice.md         # Post-workshop retrieval practice (optional)
    ├── student-handout.md
    ├── instructor-guide.md
    └── [other artifacts]

Save successful courses as templates for reuse:

# Save as template
/save-as-template "PropTech-Fundamentals-2025-02-15"

# Create variant from template
/create-from-template PropTech-Fundamentals --variant "Commercial-Focus"

Templates preserve structure, objectives, and pedagogical approach while allowing customization for different audiences or contexts.

Design progressive course series that build from foundational to advanced mastery:

# Design a 4-level series
/design-series "PropTech" --levels 4

# Create individual courses linked to the series
/create-course "PropTech 101" --series proptech --level 101
/create-course "PropTech 201" --series proptech --level 201

# Series plan enforces Bloom's bands during objective generation
/generate-objectives    # warns if objectives outside level's bands

# Retrofit existing courses into a series
/design-series "PropTech" --from-existing ./PropTech-Basics/ ./PropTech-Advanced/

Series use a Bloom's Center-of-Gravity model where each level has a primary Bloom's band (where 60-70% of objectives live), a stretch zone (higher levels with scaffolding), and an assumed floor (mastered in prior levels, not re-taught).

Courses use semantic versioning (v1.0.0, v1.1.0, v2.0.0):

• Major: Complete curriculum redesign
• Minor: New modules or significant content additions
• Patch: Small fixes, timing adjustments, clarity improvements

Update version in course-positioning.md frontmatter when making changes.

1. Start with outcomes: Clearly define what students should achieve before designing content
2. Align rigorously: Ensure assessments measure objectives, and activities support both
3. Scaffold appropriately: Progress from lower to higher Bloom's levels across the workshop
4. Time realistically: Account for breaks, setup, troubleshooting in 1-2 day formats
5. Review regularly: Use quality-reviewer agent to validate alignment after changes
6. Version deliberately: Increment versions when making substantial changes
7. Template strategically: Save proven structures for course families
