SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates structured Know/Understand/Do chart authoring for competency-based learning targets in developmental band frameworks, ensuring rigorous alignment and clear progression while separating K/U/D layers and providing explicit prerequisites.

Core Features & Use Cases

Generate per-band Know/Understand/Do with progression lever and disciplinary warrant.
Route inputs from seven input types (existing_lt_with_do, competency_only, harness_output, crosswalk_data, unit_plan, existing_kud_upgrade, raw_curriculum_document) and map them to KUD outputs across bands A–F.
Validate outputs with six quality checks and provide authoring notes for teacher review, including routing decisions, placement, and prerequisites.

Quick Start

Provide the input type and content, and I will draft a complete KUD chart aligned to the specified developmental bands.

FAQPage Schema

How do I create KUD charts for competency-based curriculum across developmental bands?▼

Create KUD charts by routing inputs like raw curriculum documents or unit plans to generate structured Know, Understand, and Do statements. This process outputs a structured KUD chart per developmental band with progression levers and disciplinary warrants.

What is the difference between Know, Understand, and Do when designing learning targets?▼

When designing learning targets, Know represents classified knowledge types, Understand defines core concepts, and Do specifies evidence types. This separation ensures rigorous alignment and clear progression while providing explicit prerequisites within competency-based frameworks.

Can I upgrade existing KUD charts to align with new competency-based learning targets?▼

Yes, you can upgrade existing KUD charts by selecting the existing_kud_upgrade input type. The system refines your current charts by enforcing knowledge-type classification, Do evidence type validation, and prerequisite typing to ensure developmental band alignment.

How do I convert crosswalk data into structured KUD charts for multiple bands?▼

Convert crosswalk data into structured KUD charts by selecting the crosswalk_data input type. The system maps your crosswalk inputs to produce Know/Understand/Do statements with progression levers and disciplinary warrants across developmental bands A through F.

What input formats work for generating KUD progression levers and disciplinary warrants?▼

Valid input formats include existing Do statements, competency-only statements, harness outputs, crosswalk data, unit plans, existing KUD chart upgrades, and raw curriculum documents. These inputs route to generate KUD charts with progression levers and disciplinary warrants.

Does this KUD chart authoring process validate prerequisite typing and evidence quality?▼

Yes, the KUD chart authoring process validates outputs using six quality checks. It strictly enforces knowledge-type classification, Do evidence type validation, and prerequisite typing, while providing authoring notes for teacher review regarding routing decisions and placement.
