# Assessment Creator Skill

This skill creates comprehensive, fair assessment tools for evaluating student learning in AI/prompt engineering.

## When to Use

Use this skill when the user:
- Asks to create a rubric or assessment tool
- Wants to evaluate student work
- Needs grading criteria for assignments
- Requests self-assessment tools for students
- Wants to measure learning objectives
- Needs portfolio or project evaluation criteria

## What This Skill Does

1. **Gathers Requirements**:
   - What to assess (assignment, skill, project, etc.)
   - Learning objectives being measured
   - Target grade level(s)
   - Type of assessment (rubric, self-assessment, checklist, etc.)
   - Grading scale or performance levels needed

2. **Invokes the assessment-builder Subagent** to create:
   - Detailed assessment rubric with clear criteria
   - 4-level performance scale (Developing, Proficient, Advanced, Exemplary)
   - Examples at each performance level
   - Student self-assessment component
   - Reflection questions
   - Success examples and common pitfalls
   - Actionable feedback guidance

3. **Saves Assessment** to:
   - `assessments/assignment-name-rubric.md`
   - OR within class folder if class-specific

4. **Creates Additional Materials**:
   - Student-facing version (simplified language)
   - Grade tracking template if requested
   - Feedback sentence starters

## Assessment Philosophy

- **Focus on Application**: Can students USE skills, not just explain them?
- **Authentic Tasks**: Real homework and real-world problems
- **Growth Mindset**: Emphasize improvement over perfection
- **Clear Criteria**: Observable and measurable standards
- **Student-Friendly**: Students understand criteria without explanation

## Output Structure

Assessments include:
- **Learning Objectives**: What's being measured and why
- **Clear Criteria**: Specific skills or qualities
- **Performance Levels**: 4-level scale with descriptions
- **Examples**: Concrete work samples at each level
- **Success Indicators**: What good looks like
- **Common Pitfalls**: What to avoid and how to improve
- **Reflection Questions**: For student self-assessment

## Example Usage

User: "Create a rubric for evaluating students' prompt engineering skills"

This skill will generate a comprehensive, fair rubric with clear criteria and examples.
