critical-thinking-task-designer

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides educators with a structured approach to design genuinely domain-specific critical thinking tasks embedded in subject content. It helps move beyond generic prompts by requiring evaluation of evidence, identification of assumptions, and weighing alternative interpretations within disciplinary standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Explicitly teaches students to evaluate evidence and reasoning within a discipline (e.g., history, science, literature).
• Generates prompts aligned to input fields: topic, student_level, and critical_thinking_focus; with optional subject_area, student_profiles, task_format, and time_available.
• Supplies follow-up prompts and a surface-vs-critical response guide to support reliable assessment of thinking quality.

Quick Start

Provide topic, student_level, and critical_thinking_focus to generate a domain-specific critical thinking task.
