meta-kid-project-planner
Use this meta-skill instead of answering directly when a child or their guardian wants to plan a school project, science fair entry, hobby kit, or kid-sized creative venture (volcano model, bug-watching YouTube channel, magnet maze, model rocket). The skill assesses feasibility against the child's age band, builds an age-appropriate step plan, lists materials with budget substitutes, surfaces safety considerations, and produces a parent-facing learning-objective summary so the guardian can supervise meaningfully. Refuses inappropriate or unsafe projects.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

What it does
The skill acts as a meta-planner for kid-focused projects. It guides the agent to assess feasibility based on the child’s age band, then generate an age-appropriate step-by-step plan, compile a materials list with budget-conscious substitutions, identify safety considerations, and produce a parent-facing summary of learning objectives for supervision. It refuses projects deemed inappropriate or unsafe.
How it works
- Extracts a kid-project brief from user input, including topic, age band, deadline, budget, supervision, and language.
- Classifies feasibility into categories such as STRAIGHTFORWARD, NEEDS_ADULT_HELP, NEEDS_SHOPPING, SAFETY_REVIEW_REQUIRED, or INAPPROPRIATE, using the topic and provided constraints.
- If project is unsafe or inappropriate, provides a safety rewrite with three alternative ideas similar in spirit.
- If feasible, may recall past projects for context, and perform web research or weather checks when applicable.
- Produces a final package including:
- Feasibility verdict
- Step-by-step plan
- Materials and substitutions
- Safety notes
- Guardian learning objectives
When to use it
Triggered whenever planning a kid-oriented project such as a school project, science fair entry, hobby kit, or kid-sized creative venture; especially suitable for younger children where safety and age-appropriateness are crucial.
What it can touch
- Tools: claude-code
- References to memory for past projects may be used to inform planning when allowed.
- External research (web, weather) may be invoked depending on feasibility.
Caveats
- Assumptions include refusing unsafe or age-inappropriate projects and defaulting to modest materials with light guardian supervision when not specified.
- Local material availability and school-specific rubric details are unverified.
- Behavior depends on user-provided inputs and the system’s feasibility classifications.
# meta-kid-project-planner Junior & guardian persona meta-skill. Turns a child's project idea — "我要做火山", "I want to build a model rocket", "open a YouTube channel about insects" — into a kid-friendly step plan PLUS a parent-friendly oversight pack. The two audiences are concatenated in one markdown deliverable with clear `## 👦 For You (the kid)` / `## 👨👩👧 For the Grown-up` sections — a markdown-level workaround for the proposed `audience:` primitive (portfolio design §4.2). ## Composition philosophy — multi-skill bundled orchestration This meta-skill uses **only OpenSquilla-bundled atomic skills** plus the five built-in step kinds — no external dependencies. The DAG calls into **5 distinct bundled atomic skills**: | Skill | Step(s) | Role in the DAG | |---|---|---| | `multi-search-engine` | `web_research` | Find existing how-to guides for the topic | | `deep-research` | `deep_research` | Extra round for `SAFETY_REVIEW_REQUIRED` or `NEEDS_SHOPPING` feasibility | | `memory` | `recall_past_projects`, `store_project` | Per-child memory: what they've already done; what they did this time.

What does the meta-kid-project-planner skill do?
Use this meta-skill instead of answering directly when a child or their guardian wants to plan a school project, science fair entry, hobby kit, or kid-sized creative venture (volcano model, bug-watching YouTube channel, magnet maze, model rocket).

Refuses inappropriate or unsafe projects.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add opensquilla/opensquilla --skill meta-kid-project-planner --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 opensquilla/opensquilla, a repository with 6,515 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.
