lesson-plan-builder
Build a standards-aligned K-12 lesson plan with clear objectives, a timed activity sequence, checks for understanding, and differentiation. Use when asked to plan a lesson, write a lesson plan, align a lesson to a standard, or turn a topic into a class period. Produces measurable objectives, a bell-to-bell timeline (hook → instruction → practice → close), formative checks, differentiation for varied learners, and the materials list.

# Lesson Plan Builder Skill A good lesson plan is not a topic and a worksheet — it's a designed arc where every minute has a purpose and the teacher knows, before the bell, how they'll tell if it worked. This skill builds a plan backward from a measurable objective, with the checks for understanding and differentiation that make it survive a real classroom. ## Working from a brief Given a topic, grade, and standard (or just a topic), **write the full plan** — infer the grade-appropriate objective and align to a plausible standard, labeling the assumption. Fit it to one class period unless told otherwise. ## Required Inputs Ask for (if not provided, else infer and label): - **Grade level and subject**, and the **topic** or standard - **Class length** and any constraint (materials, tech, class size, mixed levels) - **Where students are** — prior lesson / what they already know ## Output Format ### Objective(s) Measurable and student-facing: _"Students will be able to [verb] [content] as measured by [evidence]."_ Use observable verbs (identify, compare, model), not "understand." ### Standard alignment The standard code + a one-line note on how the lesson meets it (labeled as inferred

What does the lesson-plan-builder skill do?
Build a standards-aligned K-12 lesson plan with clear objectives, a timed activity sequence, checks for understanding, and differentiation. Use when asked to plan a lesson, write a lesson plan, align a lesson to a standard, or turn a topic into a class period.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill lesson-plan-builder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
