pedagogy-review — Claude Code skill: lecture review
Reviews .qmd and .tex lecture decks for teaching flow, prerequisites, examples, notation, and pacing. Use it to check a deck before teaching it.
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill pedagogy-review -a claude-codeWhat pedagogy-review does
The skill sends the lecture file to a pedagogy-reviewer agent. It checks 13 teaching patterns, then assesses the deck’s narrative, pace, notation, and assumed student knowledge. The returned report includes deck-level findings and key recommendations.
The review does not edit slides. The skill saves the report as quality_reports/[FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXT]_pedagogy_report.md, so it adds a report file to the project while leaving the lecture content unchanged. Its focus is teaching, not visual layout; the description points to /visual-audit for that kind of review.
Pass a .qmd or .tex filename. If you provide only a name, the skill looks in Quarto/ or Slides/; with no filename, it asks which lecture to review. For a combined slide review, the description recommends /slide-excellence.
What it helps with
- check whether a lecture’s ideas unfold clearly
- spot assumed knowledge students may lack
- review worked examples and notation
- assess pacing across a lecture deck
- save teaching recommendations in a separate report
Example prompts for the agent
- Review the teaching flow in
Slides/lecture.texbefore I teach it. - Check whether students can follow the material in
Quarto/topic.qmd. - Assess the examples, notation, and narrative in this lecture deck.
