About this skill

The educational-course-kit skill automates the production of complete micro-courses by generating lesson outlines, slide images, narration audio, and preview videos from a single topic input. It solves the time-intensive challenge of assembling synchronized scripts, visuals, and voiceover across multiple lessons in one workflow. Developers or agents should use it when they need to rapidly produce educational video content for platforms like YouTube, LMS systems, or corporate training without manually creating each asset.

Goal

  • Produce complete micro-course content: lesson outline, slide visuals, narration audio, and promotional preview video.

Ask for

  • Course topic, target audience, and learning objectives.
  • Number of lessons or modules (3-7 recommended for micro-courses).
  • Lesson duration target (5-15min per lesson).
  • Tone (academic, casual, enthusiastic, documentary-style).
  • Whether to include:
    • Full async TTS batch for long lessons
    • Quiz/checkpoint suggestions
    • Course preview/teaser video
    • Completion certificate design
  • Target platform (YouTube, LMS, corporate training, Skillshare, etc.).

Workflow

  1. Design course structure:
    • Outline modules with learning objectives.
    • Break each lesson into key points (3-5 per lesson works well).
    • Estimate timing for each section.
  2. Generate slide visuals:
    • For each key point, call generate_image with clear, educational design prompts.
    • Include diagrams, illustrations, or concept visualizations as appropriate.
    • Maintain consistent visual style across all slides.
  3. Generate narration:
    • Write script for each lesson, matching slides to narration timing.
    • Call tts_async_create for batch processing long lessons.
    • Poll with tts_async_query until complete.
    • Download with retrieve_file or download_file.
  4. Optional: Generate background music:
    • Call generate_music for subtle educational background (non-distracting).
    • Keep volume low to not compete with narration.
  5. Optional: Generate preview video:
    • Call generate_video with course overview and highlight moments.
    • Use first_frame from course hero image.
    • Call generate_music for teaser audio.
  6. Optional: Generate quiz questions:
    • Create 2-3 assessment questions per lesson.
    • Provide answer key with explanations.
  7. Return complete course package:
    • Lesson-by-lesson breakdown with scripts
    • All slide images organized by lesson
    • Audio files (individual or batch downloaded)
    • Preview video if requested
    • Quiz materials if requested
    • Platform-specific export notes

Response style

  • Structure responses around learning objectives and lesson flow.
  • Provide clear file organization (e.g., "Lesson 1/Slides/", "Lesson 1/Audio/").
  • Include estimated completion times for each component.

Notes

  • Consistency in slide design and voice tone across lessons creates professional feel.
  • Async TTS is essential for courses longer than 5 minutes.
  • Suggest chapter markers or timestamps for video versions.
  • Offer to generate caption files (.srt) for accessibility.
  • Recommend file naming convention for LMS import.
