rubric-builder
Create a clear grading rubric with criteria and performance-level descriptors that make scoring fair, fast, and consistent. Use when asked to build a rubric, create grading criteria, design an assessment scoring guide, or make grading more objective. Produces an analytic rubric table (criteria × performance levels) with concrete, observable descriptors and a points scheme — plus a short version students can self-check against.

# Rubric Builder Skill A good rubric turns "this feels like a B" into a defensible, repeatable judgment — and tells students exactly how to do better. This skill builds one with observable descriptors at each level. ## Working from a brief Given the assignment and level, **build the full rubric anyway**, inferring sensible criteria and weighting. Mark anything assumed. Never leave "[describe level]"; write concrete descriptors. ## Required Inputs Ask for (if not already provided): - **The assignment / task** being graded and **grade or level** - **What matters most** (the criteria, or let the skill propose them) - **Scale** (e.g. 4-level: Exemplary/Proficient/Developing/Beginning) and total points - **Type** — analytic (per-criterion) or holistic (single overall judgment) ## Output Format ### Rubric overview - **Assignment · Level · Total points** - **Criteria & weighting:** list each criterion and its share of the grade. ### Analytic rubric | Criterion (weight) | Exemplary (4) | Proficient (3) | Developing (2) | Beginning (1) | |---|---|---|---|---| | [Criterion 1] | observable descriptor | | | | | [Criterion 2] | | | | | | [Criterion 3] | | | | | Each cell describes **what the wo

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill rubric-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.
