Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Design customized curricula for Apni Pathshala PODs with real YouTube video links. FEATURES: โ Staged execution with checkpointing (recovery from failures) โ YouTube link verification with fallback logic (no blank URLs) โ Context capping per lesson (reduced token usage) โ Every topic gets a valid video OR search query fallback
When invoked, the agent follows a 5-stage workflow with checkpointing: StageWhat HappensCheckpoint File1Gather requirementsrequirements.json2Research YouTube videosresearch-results.json3Verify videos + fallback logicvalidated-resources.json4Design curriculum (one lesson at a time)curriculum-structure.json5Create Google Sheetfinal-sheet-url.txt
Each stage saves its output to a checkpoint file If checkpoint exists, stage loads it and skips processing If checkpoint doesn't exist, stage runs from scratch Re-running resumes from first incomplete stage
User message contains: "Design curriculum" โ Start curriculum creation "Create curriculum for [POD name]" โ Start with POD context "Build learning plan" โ Start curriculum creation "Curriculum for [subject/topic]" โ Start with topic context
This skill is designed for Madhur (Academic Associate) who designs curricula for PODs.

Action: Use different LLM models for different stages to optimize cost and performance.
StageRecommended ModelReasonStage 1: Requirements Collectionglm-4.7Quick reasoning, sufficient for form fillingStage 2: YouTube Researchglm-5Fast research, needs latest web knowledgeStage 3: Video Validationglm-4.7Pattern matching, simple logicStage 4: Curriculum Designglm-4.7Structured generation, cost-effective for lessonsStage 5: Sheet Creationglm-4.7JSON formatting, simple transformations
Option 1: Specify model when calling agent # Use glm-5 for research stage agent.chat --model glm-5 --message "Research YouTube videos for..." # Use glm-4.7 for design stage agent.chat --model glm-4.7 --message "Generate lesson structure..." Option 2: Configure in SKILL.md Each stage should include model recommendation in its instructions: ### Stage 2: Research YouTube Resources **Action:** Search YouTube for videos based on requirements **Recommended Model:** glm-5 (fast research, latest web knowledge) **Why:** Research needs up-to-date information and fast processing.
Action: Ask the user these questions (from SOP): Basic Information POD Name - Which POD is this curriculum for? Target Audience - Grade level or age group of students? Subject Areas - What subjects/topics should be covered? Duration - How long is the program? (e.g., 1 month, 3 months, 6 months) Frequency - How many classes per week? Daily Lab Hours - How many hours will the lab operate? Previous Exposure - Have students done digital learning before? Teacher Context Teacher Capability - Can teachers operate computers independently? Teacher Training Needed - Do teachers need any training? Learning Outcomes Learning Area Focus - Which area(s) to prioritize? Digital Literacy Academic Empowerment Skill Development Employment Readiness Specific Skills - What specific skills should students acquire? Assessment Method - How will learning be measured? Output: Save to checkpoint as JSON: { "pod_name": "Example POD", "target_audience": "Grade 8-10", "subject_areas": ["Digital Literacy", "Computer Basics"], "duration": "1 month", "frequency": "3 days/week", "daily_lab_hours": 2, "previous_exposure": "None", "teacher_capability": "Basic", "teacher_training_needed": true, "learning_area_focus": ["Digital Literacy"], "specific_skills": ["Basic computer operations", "Internet safety"], "assessment_method": "Practical exercises and quizzes" } Checkpoint: ~/.openclaw/workspace/curriculum-designer-checkpoints/<timestamp>-<session-id>/requirements.json
Action: Search YouTube for videos based on requirements API: Use YouTube Data API v3 with key from .env Search Queries (Default): search_queries = [ "computer basics tutorial hindi beginners", "typing practice hindi tutorial", "internet browser basics hindi", "gmail email tutorial hindi beginners", "google docs tutorial hindi", "google sheets tutorial hindi", "chatgpt tutorial hindi beginners 2024", "ai tools for students hindi" ] Search Parameters: part=snippet q=<query> type=video maxResults=5 videoDuration=medium (5-10 minutes preferred) relevanceLanguage=hi (Hindi preference) Output Structure: { "resources": [ { "topic": "computer basics", "videos": [ { "title": "Computer Basics for Beginners in Hindi", "channel": "TechGuruji", "url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=ABC123", "video_id": "ABC123" } ] } ] } Research Summary (Before Validation) After completing all searches, summarize the research results before passing to validation stage. Why summarize? Reduces token usage when passing to Stage 3 (validation) Provides cleaner input for validation logic Allows easy review of what was researched Summary Structure: { "research_summary": { "total_searches": 8, "topics_researched": [ "computer basics", "typing practice", "internet browser basics", "gmail email tutorial", "google docs tutorial", "google sheets tutorial", "chatgpt tutorial", "ai tools for students" ], "total_videos_found": 24, "video_channels": ["TechGuruji", "LearnWithMe", "DigitalSkills", "HindiTechTutorials"], "search_language": "Hindi preference", "video_duration_preference": "5-10 minutes", "notes": "Most videos from 2023-2024. Good variety of channels. Some topics have fewer results, may need fallback search." } } Save summary: Append research_summary to research-results.json Validation stage uses summary for context, not raw results Checkpoint: ~/.openclaw/workspace/curriculum-designer-checkpoints/<timestamp>-<session-id>/research-results.json
Action: Verify each video via YouTube oEmbed API. If invalid, retry with alternative search terms. Verification Method Use oEmbed endpoint (fast, lightweight): https://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID HTTP 200 = Valid video HTTP 404 = Invalid/deleted video HTTP 4xx/5xx = Try again (rate limit or temporary error) Fallback Logic (CRITICAL) For each topic, follow this logic: For each video in topic: 1. Verify via oEmbed 2. If valid โ Add to validated list, done with topic 3. If invalid โ Try next video in topic If NO valid videos found for topic: 1. Retry search with alternative queries: - Original query + "part 2" - Original query + "for students" - Original query + "in english" (if Hindi failed) 2. Verify new results 3. If still no valid videos โ ADD FALLBACK: - "search_query": "<original query> tutorial hindi beginners" - "fallback_reason": "No valid videos found, please search manually" Output Structure (With Fallbacks) { "resources": [ { "topic": "computer basics", "video": { "title": "Computer Basics for Beginners in Hindi", "channel": "TechGuruji", "url": "https://youtube.com/watch?v=ABC123", "video_id": "ABC123", "status": "valid" } }, { "topic": "advanced excel", "fallback": { "search_query": "advanced excel tutorial hindi beginners", "reason": "No valid videos found after 3 retry attempts" } } ] } IMPORTANT: Every topic MUST have either: A valid video URL, OR A search query fallback Checkpoint: ~/.openclaw/workspace/curriculum-designer-checkpoints/<timestamp>-<session-id>/validated-resources.json
Action: Generate curriculum structure, processing one lesson at a time with summarization and context cleanup. How Context Capping + Summarization Works Instead of: Pass entire curriculum (all lessons) to LLM at once โ High token usage Do this: For each lesson (1, 2, 3, ... N): 1. Load lesson N context only (this lesson's topic + resources) 2. Generate lesson content 3. SUMMARIZE lesson N context 4. Save lesson + summary to curriculum structure 5. WIPE lesson N context from memory 6. Continue to next lesson When all lessons complete: 1. Summarize entire curriculum 2. Save summary to curriculum structure 3. Save summary to Stage 2 checkpoint (research-results.json) Lesson-by-Lesson Process For lesson N: Load context: Lesson N topic Lesson N resources (from validated-resources.json) Previous lesson summary (if N > 1) Generate lesson: Daily learning objectives Daily assessment Module content YouTube link/fallback Summarize lesson: Create concise summary of lesson N Focus on: key skills, tools used, assessment type Save to curriculum: Full lesson details Lesson summary (for next lesson's context) Context cleanup: Remove lesson N's full context from memory Keep only lesson N's summary for N+1 Lesson Summary Template { "lesson_number": 1, "summary": "Students learned basic computer components, mouse/keyboard operations, and system navigation.
