educates-course-design

This skill guides the design of Educates courses, which are structured collections of workshops, from initial requirements through to detailed per-workshop implementation plans. The output is a set of planning documents that serve as blueprints for workshop creation using the educates-workshop-authoring skill.

The workflow progresses through six steps, from establishing requirements down to per-workshop implementation plans. Each step produces a planning document in the planning/ directory. A centralized task tracking file (planning/tasks.md) captures outstanding work across workshops and is updated throughout the workflow. Steps are typically done in order for a new course, but you can enter at any step when extending...

Before gathering detailed requirements, understand the scale and structure the user has in mind. Listen to how they describe what they want — they might say "I want to build a comprehensive course on X" or "I have an idea for a workshop or two on Y" or anything in between.
