How to use the Teacher Style Lessons agent skill (teacher-style-clone)

What is an agent skill, and what does this one do?

An agent skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task matches it. This skill applies when an OpenMAIC workspace session has a teacher's classroom recording or lecture handouts attached.

The skill tells the agent to extract the teacher's delivery style: openings, transitions, catchphrases, address terms, sentence rhythm, example habits, pacing, recaps, and, for recordings, on-screen layout. The agent then plans a course on your requested topic and generates each page with that style applied.

• Style evidence comes from the transcript and video keyframes, and each claim is meant to be backed by a quote and timestamp.
• The teacher's content is not treated as factual source for the new course.
• The agent is told not to invent biography, opinions or endorsements.

Install the skill from the ZIP or the Claude apps

Option A, personal install: download the ZIP from this directory page and unzip it into ~/.claude/skills/. Option B, project install: unzip it into the .claude/skills/ folder of your project.

Option C, Claude apps: upload the skill under Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

The package contains two files: SKILL.md and outline-constraints.json.

Check the requirements before you start

The skill needs an OpenMAIC workspace with these tools available: list_materials, extract_material, wait_for_materials, read_material, search_material, create_stage and generate_scene. It also needs an attached teacher recording with transcript and keyframe derivatives, or text materials.

• Runs scripts: no.
• Uses network: no.
• Recordings without a readable transcript or keyframes will give incomplete results, because the skill says not to infer visual style in that case.

Trigger the skill with a natural request

The skill loads when your session has teacher material attached. Ask in plain language, naming the topic and the style source. The skill's learner-facing name for this mode is 「名师风格」 (famous-teacher style), and the agent will not describe the result as a clone.

• Make a course on photosynthesis in the style of the attached teacher's lecture.
• Using the attached lesson recording, build a 5-page intro to statistics with the same openings and pacing.
• Turn my attached handouts into a lesson on budgeting, following the teacher's example habits.

What the agent does step by step

The agent first lists materials and confirms extraction is complete. If extraction is idle it runs extract_material; if pending or running it waits; if it failed, it reports the failure rather than guessing.

It then reads the full transcript in order, not just the opening, and checks frequent patterns with search_material. Keyframes are sampled across the recording for visual style. Finally it plans the course and calls create_stage and generate_scene once per page, placing the style profile in a 讲课风格 section of each brief and in materialFacts.

• Unsupported or contradicted style hypotheses are dropped from the final profile.
• Subject facts for the new course must be verified independently; they are not taken from the lecture.

Tips for better results

Attach the complete recording or full handout set, since the agent reads every transcript page and a sample gives a weaker profile.

Name a specific topic and its scope, such as the number of pages, so the planning step has clear inputs.

Review every generated page for factual accuracy. Style evidence does not confirm that subject content is correct.
