Required Skills

This skill requires the following other skills to be installed: neo-ddg-search: For web searching educational resources Install: clawhub install neobotjan2026/neo-ddg-search Verify: Check if neo-ddg-search skill exists in skills directory

Dependency Verification

At the start of curriculum generation, verify neo-ddg-search is available: IF neo-ddg-search skill NOT found: 🚨 DEPENDENCY MISSING The curriculum generator requires the neo-ddg-search skill for finding educational resources. Please install it: clawhub install neobotjan2026/neo-ddg-search Then restart this process. ⚠️ GENERATION CANNOT PROCEED without search capability STOP

Search Tool Health Check

Before starting resource research, perform a test search: Test: neo-ddg-search("Python tutorial test") IF successful: ✅ Search tool operational Proceeding with resource research... IF failed: 🚨 SEARCH TOOL ERROR neo-ddg-search is installed but not responding correctly. Error: {error_details} Please check: • neo-ddg-search skill is properly installed • Internet connection is available • No firewall blocking DuckDuckGo ⚠️ Cannot proceed with resource research ESCALATE

Purpose

This skill helps generate customized educational curricula for PODs (Points of Delivery) through a structured, step-enforced process with mandatory human escalation when needed.

Core Capabilities

Guided requirement gathering via structured questionnaire Research-based curriculum design or assessment Excel (.xlsx) output generation Local memory storage for continuous improvement Background task execution Strict human escalation policy enforcement

Storage Locations

Memory: ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/memory/ Outputs: ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/outputs/ Templates: ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/templates/

Activation Triggers

This skill activates when the user: Says "create curriculum", "design curriculum", or "assess curriculum" Says "curriculum help" or "start curriculum process" Explicitly requests curriculum generation for a POD

Core Principle

You MUST ask a human whenever you are forced to guess, infer, or trade off risk. If a wrong decision could affect students, teachers, or POD operations, escalation is MANDATORY.

Hard-Stop Escalation Triggers

You MUST stop and escalate to human if ANY of these occur: A. Missing or Ambiguous Inputs Target age/grade level is unclear Teacher availability or capability is unknown Daily lab hours are not specified Infrastructure reliability (computers/internet/electricity) is unclear Whether existing curriculum exists is not confirmed B. Teacher Capability Risk Teachers cannot operate computers independently Teachers lack experience running labs Teachers cannot manage lab discipline or session flow C. Operational Infeasibility Curriculum hours exceed available lab hours Sessions per week exceed teacher capacity Student-to-computer ratio is unsafe Infrastructure cannot support planned activities D. High-Risk Curriculum Changes Removing major learning outcomes Changing curriculum duration significantly Shifting learning area (e.g., digital literacy → employment readiness) Introducing new tools/platforms not previously used E. Contradictory Stakeholder Signals Teachers say curriculum is too hard, students say too easy POD leader priorities conflict with feasibility Feedback loops contradict assessment data

Escalation Format (MANDATORY)

When escalating, use this EXACT format: 🚨 HUMAN INPUT REQUIRED Reason: [specific trigger] Impact if Unresolved: [clear consequence] Options (if any): 1. [option 1] 2. [option 2] Awaiting Decision From: [POD Leader / Curriculum Owner]

STEP 0: SCENARIO IDENTIFICATION (MANDATORY)

Before anything else, determine: Scenario A: Assessment of existing curriculum Scenario B: Design of new curriculum If unclear, STOP and ask user to confirm. Do NOT proceed without classification.

SCENARIO A: ASSESSING EXISTING CURRICULUM

STEP A1: Gather Basic Information Collect ALL of the following using the structured form: Section 0: Request Metadata Request ID (auto-generate using timestamp) Date of Request (auto-capture) Requested By (Name + Role) POD Name (REQUIRED) Scenario Type (must be selected) ⚠️ If Scenario Type not selected → HARD STOP Section 1: Target Audience Profile (MANDATORY) Primary Student Group: Age range Grade/Education level Student Background (check all that apply): First-time computer users Basic exposure (mouse, keyboard) Prior digital lab experience Mixed levels Language Comfort: Medium of instruction English proficiency (Low/Medium/High) Special Constraints: Learning disabilities Attendance inconsistency Social/economic limitations ⚠️ If age/grade missing → HARD STOP and escalate Section 2: POD & Infrastructure Details (MANDATORY) Lab Infrastructure: Number of computers Average students per session Internet availability (Reliable/Unstable/None) Power backup (Yes/No) Daily Lab Usage: Available hours per day Days per week lab is operational Existing Tools/Platforms: Operating System Software already installed Internet restrictions ⚠️ If lab hours or computer count missing → HARD STOP and escalate Section 3: Teacher Capability & Availability (MANDATORY) Number of Teachers Assigned Teacher Availability: Days per week Hours per day Teacher Capability Assessment: Can operate computers independently? (Yes/No) Comfortable managing digital labs? (Yes/No) Prior experience with similar programs? (Yes/No) Training Requirement: No training needed Short training needed Extensive training needed ⚠️ Any "No" in capability assessment → Potential escalation STEP A2: Stakeholder Inputs (Structured Summary) Simulate structured stakeholder inputs based on provided data: POD Leader: Effectiveness, challenges, change needs Teachers: Teaching experience, curriculum gaps, student progress Students: Difficulty level, engagement, relevance Then perform Teacher Capability Assessment: Can teachers operate computers independently? Can they run the lab as per curriculum? Can they manage discipline, safety, and session flow? Identify training gaps (if any) STEP A3: Curriculum Evaluation Evaluate curriculum on these dimensions: Relevance to student needs Alignment with industry/digital literacy goals Flexibility for varied learning speeds Outcome clarity and measurability Technology integration quality Then perform Operational Feasibility Check: Lab schedule feasibility Teacher sufficiency Infrastructure readiness (computers, internet, electricity) STEP A4: Recommendations Clearly state whether modification is required or optional If required, propose specific, actionable changes Flag risks explicitly End with: Status: Draft Assessment – Pending Human Review

SCENARIO B: DESIGNING A NEW CURRICULUM

STEP B1: Define Curriculum Foundation Explicitly define: Learning Areas: Digital Literacy / Academic Empowerment / Skill Development / Employment Readiness Target Audience: Grade, background Clear, measurable Learning Outcomes (no vague outcomes allowed) STEP B2: Develop Course Structure Generate: Modules and sub-topics Weekly lesson breakdown Learning objective per lesson Program duration (e.g., 3 months / 6 months) Class frequency Lab Planning (Mandatory): Daily lab operating hours Sessions per week Max students per session END OF STEP B2 - MANDATORY ACTION BEFORE PROCEEDING: BEFORE moving to Step B3, execute this command sequence: 1. Review the curriculum structure you just created 2. Identify ALL topics that will appear in the final output 3. For EACH topic, RIGHT NOW, execute: neo-ddg-search("{topic} tutorial for beginners") 4. Extract the first valid educational URL from results 5. Store it in a resource_map dictionary: resource_map["{topic}"] = "https://..." 6. Verify resource_map has entries for ALL topics 7. Only then proceed to Step B3 Example: Topic: "Python Lists" Execute: neo-ddg-search("Python Lists tutorial for beginners") Result: Found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc Store: resource_map["Python Lists"] = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc" DO NOT SKIP THIS. DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT COMPLETING THIS. ## **Step 5: Create a Simpler Test in Telegram** Now test with very explicit instructions. In Telegram, send: Create a tiny test curriculum: Topic: HTML Basics Duration: 1 week only 2 lessons total IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS: After creating the structure, use neo-ddg-search to find resources for EACH lesson Before generating the CSV file, verify ALL resource links are real URLs Show me each search you perform If ANY resource link is empty or "TBD", STOP and search for it immediately Start now. MANDATORY: End of Step B2 Resource Collection Before proceeding to Step B3, you MUST complete this: STOP HERE. Before moving to Step B3, execute this sequence: 1. List all topics you just created: [topic1, topic2, topic3, ...] 2. Create an empty dictionary: resource_links = {} 3. FOR EACH topic: a. Execute: result = neo-ddg-search("{topic} tutorial for beginners") b. Look at the result text c. Find all text that starts with "https://" d. Extract the complete URL e. Store: resource_links[topic] = that_url f. Print: "Stored for {topic}: {that_url}" 4. Verify resource_links has ALL topics 5. Print the complete resource_links dictionary 6. ONLY THEN proceed to Step B3 Example for "HTML Basics": Execute: neo-ddg-search("HTML Basics tutorial for beginners") Result contains: "...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg..." Extract: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg" Store: resource_links["HTML Basics"] = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg" Print: "Stored for HTML Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg" DO THIS FOR EVERY SINGLE TOPIC BEFORE MOVING ON. END OF STEP B2 - RESOURCE COLLECTION (MANDATORY) YOU MUST NOW COLLECT RESOURCES BEFORE PROCEEDING. Execute this EXACT sequence: 1. Create empty dictionary: resource_links = {} 2. List all topics from Step B2 3. For EACH topic, execute: bash_tool: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "{topic} tutorial for beginners" 5 4. From the output, find all text starting with "https://" 5. Take the first URL that contains "youtube.com", or if none, the first URL 6. Store it: resource_links[topic] = that_url 7. Print: "Collected for {topic}: {that_url}" 8. After ALL topics are done, print the complete resource_links dictionary 9. Verify every topic has a URL 10. ONLY THEN create the CSV using URLs from resource_links DO NOT WRITE "TBD" IN THE CSV. USE THE URLS FROM resource_links DICTIONARY. If you cannot find a URL for a topic, STOP and ESCALATE. Do not proceed to CSV generation without URLs for all topics. ## **Save and Test** Save the file, then in Telegram: reload skills Then test with a VERY simple example: Create curriculum: Topic: HTML only 1 lesson total Show me EVERY step After you build the structure: Search for HTML resources using: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "HTML tutorial for beginners" 5 Show me the raw output Extract the URLs Show me what URL you extracted Show me the CSV content BEFORE writing it If Resource Link shows "TBD", STOP immediately Start. ## **What to Watch For** You should see output like: ✅ Course structure complete 🔍 Starting resource search... Topic: HTML Basics Executing: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "HTML Basics tutorial for beginners" 5 [Results shown] [1] HTML Tutorial | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... [2] Learn HTML | https://www.w3schools.com/html/ Found 2 URLs Selected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... ✅ Stored for HTML Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... Resource Links Dictionary: HTML Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... 📋 CSV Preview: Covered Topics | Resource Link HTML Basics | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... Writing file... STEP B2.5: RESOURCE LINK POPULATION (SIMPLIFIED) After completing Step B2 structure, execute this EXACT process:

Simple 3-Step Process Per Topic

For EACH topic: STEP 1: Search python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "{topic} tutorial for beginners" 5 STEP 2: Look at output and extract FIRST URL Scan the output line by line When you see https:// → copy everything from https:// until the next space That's your URL STEP 3: Store it resource_links["{topic}"] = "the_url_you_found" Then IMMEDIATELY move to next topic. Do NOT do additional searches unless the first one returns ZERO results.

Hard Limit: 1 Search Per Topic

RULE: Execute ONE search per topic. Extract ONE URL. Move on. Do NOT: ❌ Execute multiple searches for the same topic ❌ Try to find "better" resources ❌ Analyze quality extensively ❌ Wait or pause DO: ✅ Search once ✅ Grab first URL ✅ Move to next topic ✅ Complete all topics quickly

Exact Execution Template

Print: "🔍 Resource Research Starting..." Print: "" resource_links = {} topics = [list of all topics from Step B2] For topic in topics: Print: f"Topic: {topic}" # Execute search (ONE TIME ONLY) result = bash_tool(f'python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "{topic} tutorial" 5') # Extract first URL (simple method) url = None for line in result.split('\n'): if 'https://' in line: start = line.find('https://') end_of_line = line[start:] # Get URL until space or end space_index = end_of_line.find(' ') if space_index > 0: url = end_of_line[:space_index] else: url = end_of_line.strip() break # Take FIRST URL and stop if url: resource_links[topic] = url Print: f" ✅ {url}" else: resource_links[topic] = "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED" Print: f" ⚠️ No URL found - marked for manual research" # IMMEDIATELY continue to next topic Print: "" Print: "✅ Resource research complete" Print: f"Collected {len(resource_links)} resource links" Print: ""

Time Limit

Maximum time for resource research: 2 minutes total If you're taking longer than 2 minutes for resource collection, you're doing something wrong. This should be fast: 5 seconds per search 2 topics = 10 seconds 10 topics = 50 seconds

What Gets Stored

# Good examples: resource_links["Python Basics"] = "https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide" resource_links["HTML Intro"] = "https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_variables.asp" # Acceptable if no URL found: resource_links["Obscure Topic"] = "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED" # NEVER acceptable: resource_links["Topic"] = "TBD" # ❌ resource_links["Topic"] = "" # ❌

After Collection: Immediate CSV Generation

Do NOT pause or wait. Immediately proceed to CSV generation. Print: "📄 Generating CSV with collected resources..." csv_data = [] for topic in curriculum_structure: resource_url = resource_links.get(topic, "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED") csv_row = { "Curriculum ID": curriculum_id, "File Name": file_name, "Target POD Type": pod_type, "Clusters": clusters, "Content Type": content_type, "Covered Topics": topic, "Owner": owner, "Resource Link": resource_url, # ← Use collected URL "Document Creation Date": date, "Last Updated On": date } csv_data.append(csv_row) write_csv(csv_data) Print: "✅ CSV file generated"

Example: Complete 2-Topic Execution

Topics: ["Python Basics", "Python Functions"] 🔍 Resource Research Starting... Topic: Python Basics Executing search... [Results received] Found URL: https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide ✅ https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide Topic: Python Functions Executing search... [Results received] Found URL: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_functions.asp ✅ https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_functions.asp ✅ Resource research complete Collected 2 resource links 📄 Generating CSV with collected resources... ✅ CSV file generated: Python_Basics_v1.0.csv Total time: ~15 seconds

No Escalation for "Imperfect" Resources

Accept whatever URL you find in the first search. Priority is: Speed ✅ Completion ✅ Perfect resources ⚠️ (nice to have, not required) If the first search returns W3Schools instead of YouTube, that's FINE. Use it and move on.

Escalation Only For Zero Results

Only escalate if: ❌ Search returns absolutely no results ❌ Search returns results but contains ZERO URLs ❌ Search tool completely fails Do NOT escalate if: ✅ URL is from W3Schools instead of YouTube (still good!) ✅ URL is from a lesser-known educational site (acceptable!) ✅ URL is documentation instead of video (perfectly fine!)

Debug Output (When Requested)

If user requests DEBUG MODE: [DEBUG] Topic: Python Basics [DEBUG] Command: python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "Python Basics tutorial" 5 [DEBUG] Results: 5 entries returned [DEBUG] Extracting URLs... [DEBUG] Line 1: Contains 'https://datascientest.com/...' [DEBUG] Extracted: https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide [DEBUG] Storing: resource_links["Python Basics"] = "https://datascientest.com/..." [DEBUG] ✅ Complete - moving to next topic MANDATORY: After Step B2, execute resource collection IMMEDIATELY After completing Step B2 course structure: 1. DO NOT pause 2. DO NOT ask for confirmation 3. IMMEDIATELY start resource collection 4. Use the Simple 3-Step Process above 5. Complete ALL topics within 2 minutes 6. Then IMMEDIATELY generate CSV 7. Do NOT wait between steps This should be ONE CONTINUOUS FLOW: Step B2 → Resource Collection → CSV Generation → Done No breaks. No pauses. No waiting.

Implementation in Curriculum Generation

After Step B2 (course structure), do this: Print: "🔍 Starting resource search for all topics..." Print: "" Initialize: resource_links = {} For each topic in curriculum: Print: "Topic: {topic}" # Execute search command = f"python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py \"{topic} tutorial for beginners\" 5" result = execute_bash(command) # Extract URLs (look for https://) lines = result.split('\n') urls = [] for line in lines: if 'https://' in line: # Extract the URL part start = line.find('https://') # Find end (space or newline) rest = line[start:] space_pos = rest.find(' ') if space_pos > 0: url = rest[:space_pos] else: url = rest.strip() urls.append(url) Print: f" Found {len(urls)} URLs" # Choose best URL best_url = None for url in urls: if 'youtube.com' in url: best_url = url break if not best_url and urls: for url in urls: if 'freecodecamp.org' in url: best_url = url break if not best_url and urls: best_url = urls[0] # Use first URL if best_url: resource_links[topic] = best_url Print: f" ✅ Stored: {best_url}" else: Print: f" ❌ No URLs found - trying alternative search..." # Try one more time alt_command = f"python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py \"{topic} free course\" 5" alt_result = execute_bash(alt_command) # Extract URLs again... # [same extraction logic] if alt_urls: resource_links[topic] = alt_urls[0] Print: f" ✅ Stored: {alt_urls[0]}" else: ESCALATE(f"No resources found for {topic}") Print: "" Print: "✅ Resource collection complete!" Print: f"Total topics: {len(resource_links)}" Print: "" Print: "Resource Links Dictionary:" for topic, url in resource_links.items(): Print: f" {topic}: {url}" STEP B3: Teacher Preparation & Readiness Specify: Teacher resources required Teaching methodology (interactive, adaptable) Teacher readiness evaluation: Prior experience Comfort with computer labs Whether short training is required (Yes/No + why) STEP B4: Assessments & Feedback Design Define: Formative assessments (quizzes, projects, assignments) Summative assessment (final exam/capstone project) What each assessment measures STEP B5: Continuous Improvement Loop Define: Feedback sources (teachers, students, assessments) Review frequency Criteria for curriculum revision

ANTI-STUCK RULE

If resource collection is taking longer than 3 minutes total: STOP what you're doing and execute this: Print: "⏱️ Resource collection timeout (3 min exceeded)" Print: "Completing with available resources..." For any topic without a resource: resource_links[topic] = "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED" Proceed immediately to CSV generation Never get stuck searching indefinitely. ## **Test Again** Save the file and test: reload skills Then: Create curriculum: Python basics 2 lessons 1 week DO NOT GET STUCK. If resource search takes more than 1 minute total, skip to CSV generation. Show me when you start resource search and when you finish. ## **What Should Happen** You should see: 🔍 Resource Research Starting... Topic: Lesson 1 - Python Intro ✅ https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide Topic: Lesson 2 - Python Functions ✅ https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_functions.asp ✅ Resource research complete (15 seconds) Collected 2 resource links 📄 Generating CSV... ✅ Done **NOT this:** Topic: Lesson 1 Executing search... [Results] Trying alternative search... [More results] Evaluating quality... [STUCK HERE] ← Never gets to CSV

How to Execute Searches

To search for resources, use this EXACT command: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "YOUR QUERY HERE" 5 This returns search results with URLs that you must extract.

Simple Search and Extract Process

For EACH topic in the curriculum: Step 1: Execute Search # Example for "HTML Basics" python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "HTML basics tutorial for beginners" 5 Step 2: Look at the Output The output looks like this: [1] Page Title | Year | Type | Site https://example.com/url1 Description text [2] Another Title | Year | Type | Site https://another.com/url2 More description Step 3: Extract URLs (Simple Pattern) Look for any text starting with https:// From the example above, extract: https://example.com/url1 https://another.com/url2 Step 4: Choose Best URL Priority order: URLs containing youtube.com (first choice) URLs containing freecodecamp.org (second choice) URLs containing w3schools.com (third choice) Any other educational site If none found, use the first URL Step 5: Store the URL Store in a simple format: Topic: HTML Basics Resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Complete Example Workflow

Topic: "Python Lists" Step 1 - Search: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "Python lists tutorial for beginners" 5 Step 2 - Output Received: [1] Python Lists Tutorial | 2023 | Video | YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc Learn Python lists from scratch [2] Python Lists Guide | 2024 | Article | W3Schools https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_lists.asp Complete guide to Python lists Step 3 - Extract URLs: Found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc Found: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_lists.asp Step 4 - Choose Best: First URL contains "youtube.com" → Select this one Selected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc Step 5 - Store: resource_links["Python Lists"] = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc"

Before Writing CSV

MANDATORY CHECK: Print: "🔍 Verifying resource links before CSV generation..." Print: "" csv_data = [] for row in curriculum_structure: topic = row['topic'] # Get resource from resource_links dictionary if topic in resource_links: resource_url = resource_links[topic] else: Print: f"❌ ERROR: No resource link for '{topic}'" STOP # Verify it's a valid URL if not resource_url.startswith('http'): Print: f"❌ ERROR: Invalid URL for '{topic}': {resource_url}" STOP Print: f"✅ {topic}: {resource_url[:60]}..." # Add to CSV data csv_row = { "Curriculum ID": curriculum_id, "File Name": file_name, "Target POD Type": pod_type, "Clusters": clusters, "Content Type": content_type, "Covered Topics": topic, "Owner": owner, "Resource Link": resource_url, # ← ACTUAL URL HERE "Document Creation Date": date, "Last Updated On": date } csv_data.append(csv_row) Print: "" Print: "✅ All rows verified with valid URLs" Print: "📄 Writing CSV file..." write_csv_file(csv_data)

CSV Preview Before Writing

Show user the data: Print: "📋 CSV Preview:" Print: "=" * 80 Print: f"Covered Topics | Resource Link" Print: "-" * 80 for row in csv_data: topic = row["Covered Topics"] url = row["Resource Link"] Print: f"{topic[:30]:30} | {url}" Print: "=" * 80 Print: "" Print: "Writing to file..."

Escalation for Missing Resources

If after searching, a topic has no URL: 🚨 RESOURCE SEARCH FAILED - HUMAN INPUT REQUIRED Topic: {topic_name} Search 1: "python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py '{topic} tutorial for beginners' 5" Result: {number} URLs found None matched quality criteria Search 2: "python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py '{topic} free course' 5" Result: {number} URLs found None matched quality criteria Issue: Cannot find suitable free educational resources Options: 1. Modify topic name to be more general 2. Accept lower-quality resource if available 3. Mark for manual research Awaiting Decision From: Curriculum Owner ⚠️ CSV generation paused

PRE-FILE-GENERATION CHECKLIST (MANDATORY)

Before writing ANY output file, you MUST complete this checklist:

Checklist Item 1: Resource Link Verification

STOP and verify: FOR EACH row in the curriculum data: topic = row['Covered Topics'] resource_link = row['Resource Link'] IF resource_link is empty OR resource_link == "TBD" OR resource_link == "N/A": PRINT "⚠️ Missing resource link for: {topic}" PRINT "🔍 Executing search now..." # Execute neo-ddg-search immediately search_query = f"{topic} tutorial for beginners" EXECUTE: neo-ddg-search(search_query) # Extract URLs from results urls = EXTRACT_URLS_FROM_RESULTS() IF urls found: row['Resource Link'] = urls[0] # Use first result PRINT "✅ Found resource: {urls[0]}" ELSE: # Try alternative search search_query_2 = f"{topic} free course" EXECUTE: neo-ddg-search(search_query_2) urls = EXTRACT_URLS_FROM_RESULTS() IF urls found: row['Resource Link'] = urls[0] PRINT "✅ Found resource: {urls[0]}" ELSE: ESCALATE("Cannot find resources for {topic}") STOP_FILE_GENERATION You MUST see output like: Checking resource links before file generation... ✅ Row 1 - HTML Basics: Has resource link ✅ Row 2 - CSS Fundamentals: Has resource link ⚠️ Row 3 - JavaScript: Missing resource link 🔍 Executing search now... Using neo-ddg-search: "JavaScript tutorial for beginners" ✅ Found resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... ✅ Row 3 - JavaScript: Resource link populated All rows verified. Proceeding to file generation...

Checklist Item 2: URL Format Validation

Verify all resource links are actual URLs: FOR EACH resource_link in curriculum: IF NOT resource_link.startswith("http"): ERROR: "Invalid resource link format: {resource_link}" STOP

Checklist Item 3: Final Count

total_topics = COUNT(curriculum rows) topics_with_resources = COUNT(rows where Resource Link is valid URL) PRINT "📊 Resource Link Status:" PRINT " Total topics: {total_topics}" PRINT " With resources: {topics_with_resources}" PRINT " Missing: {total_topics - topics_with_resources}" IF topics_with_resources < total_topics: ESCALATE("Some topics still missing resources after search") STOP ELSE: PRINT "✅ All topics have resource links. Safe to generate file."

Pre-Generation: Build Complete Resource Map

Before writing any file, build a complete resource map: # Initialize resource map resource_map = {} # Get all topics from curriculum structure all_topics = extract_all_topics_from_curriculum() print(f"\n📚 Building resource map for {len(all_topics)} topics...\n") # For each topic, search and extract URL for topic in all_topics: print(f"🔍 Topic: {topic}") # Execute search search_query = f"{topic} tutorial for beginners" print(f" Searching: {search_query}") search_results = neo_ddg_search(search_query) # Extract URLs from results urls_found = extract_urls_from_search_result(search_results) print(f" Found {len(urls_found)} URLs") # Select best URL if urls_found: best_url = select_best_url(urls_found) resource_map[topic] = best_url print(f" ✅ Selected: {best_url}\n") else: print(f" ⚠️ No URLs found, trying alternative search...") # Try alternative search alt_search = neo_ddg_search(f"{topic} free course") urls_found_alt = extract_urls_from_search_result(alt_search) if urls_found_alt: best_url = select_best_url(urls_found_alt) resource_map[topic] = best_url print(f" ✅ Selected: {best_url}\n") else: resource_map[topic] = "ESCALATION_NEEDED" print(f" ❌ No resources found - will escalate\n") # Verify all topics have resources missing_resources = [t for t, url in resource_map.items() if url == "ESCALATION_NEEDED"] if missing_resources: print(f"🚨 {len(missing_resources)} topics need escalation:") for topic in missing_resources: print(f" - {topic}") ESCALATE("Resource search failed for some topics") STOP else: print(f"✅ All {len(all_topics)} topics have resource links!") print(f"📝 Proceeding to CSV generation...\n")

CSV Generation with Resource Map

When creating each row in the CSV: for week_num, lesson in curriculum_structure: topic = lesson['topic'] # Get resource link from resource_map resource_link = resource_map.get(topic, "ERROR_NO_RESOURCE") # Verify it's a valid URL if not resource_link.startswith("http"): print(f"ERROR: Invalid resource for {topic}: {resource_link}") STOP csv_row = { "Curriculum ID": curriculum_id, "File Name": file_name, "Target POD Type": pod_type, "Clusters": clusters, "Content Type": content_type, "Covered Topics": topic, "Owner": owner, "Resource Link": resource_link, # ← USE THE ACTUAL URL HERE "Document Creation Date": creation_date, "Last Updated On": last_updated } csv_data.append(csv_row) Critical Check Before Writing: # Final verification print("\n🔍 Final CSV Data Verification:") for i, row in enumerate(csv_data): resource = row["Resource Link"] topic = row["Covered Topics"] if resource == "TBD" or not resource.startswith("http"): print(f"❌ Row {i+1} ({topic}): INVALID resource '{resource}'") STOP_GENERATION else: print(f"✅ Row {i+1} ({topic}): {resource[:60]}...") print("\n✅ All rows verified - writing file...") write_csv_file(csv_data)

FILE GENERATION - FINAL RESOURCE CHECK

Excel File Structure

Generate .xlsx file with these columns: Curriculum ID File Name Target POD Type Clusters Content Type Covered Topics Owner Resource Link ⚠️ MUST contain actual URLs, NEVER "TBD" Document Creation Date Last Updated On Column Population Rules: Resource Link: Search and populate with real URLs during curriculum generation Format: "URL1 | URL2 | URL3" if multiple resources Use web_search before writing Excel file If search fails, escalate (never write "TBD")

MEMORY MANAGEMENT

After each curriculum generation: Save conversation context to ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/memory/curriculum_[REQUEST_ID].json Store lessons learned in ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/memory/learnings.md Track escalations in ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/memory/escalations.log Memory file structure: { "request_id": "CUR_20260208_001", "date": "2026-02-08", "scenario": "new_design", "pod_name": "Example POD", "user": "madhur", "inputs_collected": {}, "decisions_made": [], "escalations": [], "output_file": "curriculum_example_v1.0.xlsx", "learnings": [] }

Primary Tools

web_search: Research educational standards, best practices, resources create_file: Generate Excel output files bash_tool: File management, directory operations view: Read memory files, check existing curricula

Research Sources (Use web_search for)

Educational standards and frameworks Age-appropriate learning resources Digital literacy benchmarks Best practices for computer lab education Free educational tools and platforms

BACKGROUND TASK EXECUTION

When triggered, inform user: 🦞 Starting curriculum generation process... This may take 5-10 minutes. I'll notify you when complete. You can continue other tasks in the meantime. Then proceed with research and generation in background.

AUTO-APPROVAL ZONE

You may proceed autonomously when: All required inputs are present Teacher capability is sufficient Infrastructure is adequate Changes are incremental, not structural Curriculum stays within defined learning areas Even then: Final output is still Draft – Pending Human Review

META-RULES (VERY IMPORTANT)

You must NEVER: Fill gaps silently Optimize feasibility without disclosure Reduce curriculum scope to make things work unless approved Transparency > automation speed
