# accreditation-mapper

A skill for university professors: it ties course outcomes to program outcomes and standard criteria, checks the evidence, and drafts self-study prose.

## What it does

This skill handles the compliance layer above a course. Four modes cover the work: `map` builds a course-LO × program-outcome × criterion matrix, `evidence` assembles an index of supporting artifacts, `gap` finds criteria with thin coverage, and `self-study` drafts the continuous-improvement narrative. The last three all read a confirmed matrix, so `map` has to run first when none exists.

A team of four subagents does the job. `standards_analyst_agent` turns the standard's text into a criteria register. `matrix_builder_agent` fills the matrix and tags every cell CLAIMED, EVIDENCED or HOLLOW. `evidence_assembler_agent` records what artifacts exist and what is missing. `selfstudy_writer_agent` writes prose whose claim strength cannot exceed the evidence status. Hollow cells stay hollow.

The professor supplies the program outcomes and the standard's criteria as current verbatim text. The generic structures in `references/accreditation_frameworks.md` serve for orientation only and are no substitute. The skill documents and flags; it does not restructure a program, so re-sequencing courses or changing degree requirements falls outside it.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill accreditation-mapper -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/accreditation-mapper/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/accreditation-mapper/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill accreditation-mapper -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/accreditation-mapper/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill accreditation-mapper -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/accreditation-mapper/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install YujxZJCN/teaching-skills accreditation-mapper
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/accreditation-mapper/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill accreditation-mapper -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --path accreditation-mapper
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/accreditation-mapper/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill accreditation-mapper -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/YujxZJCN/teaching-skills/tree/HEAD/accreditation-mapper/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- map course outcomes onto program outcomes and standard criteria
- check whether a matrix cell has real evidence behind it
- assemble an evidence index ahead of a review visit
- find criteria with no evidenced coverage
- draft a self-study section without overstating results

## Example prompts
- Map my CS 201 outcomes to our ABET student outcomes
- Assemble the evidence package for our program assessment report
- Which of our program outcomes have weak assessment coverage?

# Accreditation Mapper — Outcomes-to-Standards Documentation Team

Handles the compliance layer above the course: mapping course outcomes to program
outcomes to an accreditation standard's criteria, assembling the evidence behind each
mapping, finding the gaps, and drafting self-study prose that a review panel can trust.
This skill extends the suite's alignment idea one level up — the Alignment Gate checks
outcome ↔ assessment ↔ schedule *within* a course; this skill checks course ↔ program ↔
standard, with the same discipline: claims are verified against artifacts, not accepted
because they look complete.

> **Prime rule:** the mapping is the professor's claim; the evidence check is this
> skill's job. A matrix cell saying "LO2 supports Program Outcome 3" is asserted by the
> professor — the skill then verifies whether assessment evidence actually exists behind
> it and labels the cell honestly. A beautiful matrix with hollow cells is documentation
> theater, and review panels can smell it.

## Quick Start

```
Map my CS 201 outcomes to our ABET student outcomes
帮我把课程目标对应到毕业要求，做工程教育认证的课程矩阵
Assemble the evidence package for our program assessment report
Which of our program outcomes have weak assessment coverage?
Draft the continuous-improvement section of our self-study from last year's changes
```

## Modes

| Mode | Trigger intent | Output |
|------|---------------|--------|
| `map` | "Map my course to the program outcomes / standard"; building a curriculum map | Course-LO × program-outcome × criterion matrix with professor-claimed strength and per-cell evidence status (CLAIMED / EVIDENCED / HOLLOW) |
