## General Agent Guidelines
### Error Handling
1. **Validation Failures:** Report specific issues with clear guidance for resolution
2. **Permission Errors:** Explain why the action is restricted and suggest alternatives
3. **Integration Errors:** Log detailed error information and suggest troubleshooting steps
### Communication Protocols
1. **Mode Handoffs:** When passing work to another mode, include:
- Summary of completed work
- Key decisions made and rationale
- Outstanding questions or concerns
- Recommended next steps
2. **Skill Invocation:** When using a skill:
- State which skill is being used and why
- Report results clearly
- Note any limitations or assumptions
### Quality Standards
All agents must:
- Follow project coding and documentation standards
- Maintain consistency with existing content
- Provide rationale for significant decisions
- Flag potential issues for human review
## Security Considerations
- Agents should not expose sensitive learner data
- All content must comply with organizational privacy policies
- Agents should not modify configuration files outside their scope
- Audit logs should be maintained for all content changes
## Shared Skills
Some skills can be used by multiple modes where capabilities overlap:
| Skill | Primary Mode | Also Available To |
|-------|--------------|-------------------|
| `readability-analyzer` | instructional-writer | content-producer, accessibility-auditor |
| `assessment-validator` | assessment-dev | instructional-writer |
| `wcag-compliance-checker` | accessibility-auditor | content-producer, lx-designer |
| `tone-consistency-checker` | instructional-writer | content-producer |

## Innovation Content: Educational Content Development Modes & Skills
**Version:** 1.1.0
**Audience:** Educational Content Developers, Instructional Designers, Content Producers
**Date:** 2026-04-24
---
## 1. Introduction
### 1.1 What is Innovation Content?
Innovation Content is a specialized suite of **modes** and **skills** for Roo Code that transforms how educational content is created, reviewed, and delivered. Think of it as having six expert colleagues—each specializing in a different aspect of educational content development—working alongside you in your code editor.
### 1.2 Core Concepts
#### Modes
A **mode** is a specialized configuration of Roo Code tailored to a specific role. When you activate a mode, Roo Code adopts the behavior, permissions, and expertise of that role.
| Mode | Role | When to Use |
|------|------|-------------|
| 📝 Curriculum Designer | Educational architect | When designing curricula, learning objectives, and course structures |
| 📖 Instructional Writer | Content author | When writing lesson content, exercises, and learner documentation |
| 🧪 Assessment Developer | Measurement specialist | When creating quizzes, rubrics, and evaluation criteria |
| 🎬 Content Producer | Multimedia creator | When producing video scripts, interactive content, and media assets |
| 🎨 Learning Experience Designer | Engagement specialist | When designing learner journeys, gamification, and microlearning |
| ♿ Accessibility Auditor | Inclusion specialist | When auditing content for WCAG compliance and accessibility |
#### Skills
A **skill** is a reusable capability that modes can invoke. Skills are like specialized tools in a workshop—each one does a specific job well.
For example, the Curriculum Designer mode has these skills:
- `learning-objective-validator` — Checks that objectives use proper Bloom's Taxonomy verbs
- `competency-mapper` — Maps objectives to standards like Common Core or NGSS
- `curriculum-gap-analyzer` — Finds gaps in curriculum coverage
### 1.3 How It Works
```
You provide input → Mode processes it using skills → You get structured output
```
Each mode follows a defined workflow, applies best practices, and communicates with other modes through standardized handoffs.
---
## 2. Getting Started
### 2.1 Your First Session
**Step 1: Choose Your Mode**
Think about what you're trying to accomplish:
- "I need to design a new course" → **Curriculum Designer**
- "I need to write lesson content" → **Instructional Writer**
- "I need to create a quiz" → **Assessment Developer**
- "I need to produce a video" → **Content Producer**
- "I need to design a learning journey" → **LX Designer**
- "I need to check accessibility" → **Accessibility Auditor**
**Step 2: Activate the Mode**
In Roo Code, switch to your chosen mode:
```
Switch to curriculum-designer mode
```
**Step 3: Provide Your Input**
Give the mode context about what you're working on:
```
I need to create a curriculum for a high school biology course on photosynthesis.
The target audience is 9th grade students. The course should align with NGSS standards.
```
**Step 4: Review the Output**
The mode will generate structured output. Review it and provide feedback:
```
The learning objectives look good, but I'd like more emphasis on the light-dependent reactions.
```
### 2.2 The Content Development Workflow
The six modes work together in a pipeline:
```
1. Curriculum Designer defines WHAT to teach
↓
2. Instructional Writer creates HOW to teach it
↓
3. Assessment Developer creates HOW to measure learning
↓
4. Content Producer creates MULTIMEDIA materials
↓
5. LX Designer creates ENGAGING experiences
↓
6. Accessibility Auditor ensures EVERYONE can access it
```
You can start at any point in the pipeline depending on your role.

## 3. Using Modes Effectively
### 3.1 Curriculum Designer Mode
**Best for:** Course architects, curriculum coordinators, instructional designers
**What it does:**
- Validates learning objectives using Bloom's Taxonomy
- Maps objectives to educational standards
- Identifies gaps in curriculum coverage
- Validates prerequisite chains
**How to get the best results:**
1. **Be specific about your audience:**
```
Good: "Create objectives for 10th grade chemistry students"
Better: "Create 8 measurable objectives for 10th grade chemistry on chemical bonding, aligned to NGSS HS-PS1-2"
```
2. **Provide existing standards:**
```
"Align this curriculum to Common Core Math standards for Algebra II, specifically A-SSE, A-APR, and F-IF clusters"
```
3. **Ask for gap analysis:**
```
"Analyze this curriculum for gaps. Are there any NGSS performance expectations not covered?"
```
**Pro tip:** Start with the end in mind. Tell the Curriculum Designer what students should be able to DO after completing the course, and it will work backward to design the curriculum.
### 3.2 Instructional Writer Mode
**Best for:** Content writers, subject matter experts, teachers
**What it does:**
- Analyzes content readability (Flesch-Kincaid, SMOG)
- Ensures tone consistency across lessons
- Designs active learning exercises
- Evaluates explanation quality
**How to get the best results:**
1. **Specify your audience's reading level:**
```
"Write this lesson for 8th grade reading level (Flesch-Kincaid grade 8)"
```
2. **Provide the learning objectives:**
```
"Write a lesson that helps students achieve this objective: 'Students will be able to explain the process of photosynthesis'"
```
3. **Request active learning:**
```
"Include 3 active learning exercises: one individual, one pair, and one group activity"
```
**Pro tip:** Use the Hook-Define-Example-Elaborate-Check structure for explanations. The Instructional Writer will follow this pattern automatically if you ask for "well-structured explanations."
### 3.3 Assessment Developer Mode
**Best for:** Assessment designers, test developers, evaluators
**What it does:**
- Validates assessment alignment to objectives
- Performs item analysis (difficulty, discrimination)
- Generates rubrics with performance descriptors
- Detects bias in assessment items
**How to get the best results:**
1. **Provide the learning objectives:**
```
"Create 10 multiple-choice questions that assess this objective: 'Students will be able to solve quadratic equations'"
```
2. **Specify difficulty distribution:**
```
"Include 3 easy, 5 medium, and 2 difficult questions"
```
3. **Request bias review:**
```
"Review these assessment items for gender, cultural, and socioeconomic bias"
```
**Pro tip:** Always ask for a rubric when creating performance assessments. The rubric-generator skill creates analytic rubrics with clear performance descriptors for each level.
### 3.4 Content Producer Mode
**Best for:** Video producers, multimedia designers, e-learning developers
**What it does:**
- Validates storyboards against objectives
- Manages multimedia assets
- Packages content for SCORM/xAPI LMS delivery
- Creates H5P interactive content
**How to get the best results:**
1. **Provide the storyboard or script:**
```
"Create a 5-minute explainer video storyboard about the water cycle for middle school students"
```
2. **Specify accessibility requirements:**
```
"Ensure all video content includes captions and transcripts"
```
3. **Request SCORM packaging:**
```
"Package this content as a SCORM 2004 package for Moodle LMS"
```
**Pro tip:** Keep videos under 6 minutes for optimal engagement. The Content Producer will automatically suggest breaking longer content into micro-videos.
### 3.5 Learning Experience Designer Mode
**Best for:** UX designers, engagement specialists, learning technologists
**What it does:**
- Maps learner journeys and pathways
- Analyzes engagement patterns
- Designs gamification elements
- Architects microlearning structures
**How to get the best results:**
1. **Provide the content package:**
```
"Design a learner journey for this 8-module course on data science. Each module takes about 30 minutes"
```
2. **Specify engagement goals:**
```
"Include gamification elements that motivate completion without relying on extrinsic rewards"
```
3. **Request microlearning structure:**
```
"Break this 2-hour module into microlearning units of 5-15 minutes each"
```
**Pro tip:** Focus on intrinsic motivation. The gamification-designer skill prefers badges and achievement systems that recognize mastery over points and leaderboards.
### 3.6 Accessibility Auditor Mode
**Best for:** Accessibility specialists, QA testers, content reviewers
**What it does:**
- Audits WCAG 2.1/2.2 compliance at A, AA, AAA levels
- Simulates screen reader experience
- Analyzes color contrast ratios
- Provides remediation guidance
**How to get the best results:**
1. **Provide the content to audit:**
```
"Audit this lesson page for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance"
```
2. **Specify the target level:**
```
"Check this content against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria"
```
3. **Request remediation guidance:**
```
"For each issue found, provide specific remediation steps with code examples"
```
**Pro tip:** Run the Accessibility Auditor early and often. It's easier to fix accessibility issues during creation than after publication.

|---------|--------|------------|
| Vague objectives | Content misalignment | Use `learning-objective-validator` before proceeding |
| Skipping accessibility | Excluded learners | Run `wcag-compliance-checker` at every stage |
| Inconsistent tone | Confusing content | Use `tone-consistency-checker` across all lessons |
| Unaligned assessments | Invalid measurement | Use `assessment-validator` to check alignment |
| Over-long videos | Learner disengagement | Keep videos under 6 minutes; use `microlearning-architect` |
| Extrinsic gamification | Short-term motivation | Use `gamification-designer` with intrinsic motivation focus |
---
## 5. Advanced Usage
### 5.1 Customizing Mode Behavior
Each mode can be customized by providing additional context in your prompts:
```
"As Curriculum Designer, prioritize project-based learning over direct instruction.
Design objectives that emphasize creation and evaluation levels of Bloom's Taxonomy."
```
```
"As Instructional Writer, use a Socratic questioning approach. Include reflection
prompts after each major concept."
```
### 5.2 Combining Skills
You can invoke multiple skills in sequence for comprehensive analysis:
```
"First, use readability-analyzer to check this lesson's reading level.
Then, use tone-consistency-checker to ensure it matches our style guide.
Finally, use explanation-quality-checker to evaluate the explanations."
```
### 5.3 Iterative Refinement
Modes support iterative refinement. After receiving output, you can ask for changes:
```
"The objectives are good, but make them more specific to the NGSS performance expectations.
Add two more objectives at the 'Create' level of Bloom's Taxonomy."
```
```
"The lesson is too technical. Simplify the language to grade 8 reading level
and add more concrete examples."
```
### 5.4 Quality Checks
Before finalizing any content, run these quality checks:
| Check | Skill | When to Use |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| Objective quality | `learning-objective-validator` | After curriculum design |
| Readability | `readability-analyzer` | After lesson writing |
| Assessment alignment | `assessment-validator` | After assessment creation |
| Bias review | `bias-detector` | Before publishing assessments |
| WCAG compliance | `wcag-compliance-checker` | Before publishing any content |
| Storyboard alignment | `storyboard-validator` | Before video production |
---
## 6. Frequently Asked Questions
### Q: Can I use multiple modes in one session?
**A:** Yes. You can switch between modes as needed. The modes are designed to hand off work to each other, so you can start in one mode and continue in another.
### Q: How do I know which mode to use?
**A:** Refer to the mode table in Section 1.2. If you're unsure, start with Curriculum Designer—it's the foundation for all other work.
### Q: Can I customize the skills?
**A:** Skills are designed to be self-contained. If you need to modify a skill's behavior, refer to the Support Team Guide for instructions on extending skills.
### Q: What if the output doesn't meet my needs?
**A:** Provide specific feedback and ask for revisions. Modes support iterative refinement. For example: "The objectives are too broad. Make them more specific and measurable."
### Q: How do I ensure consistency across a large project?
**A:** Use the `tone-consistency-checker` skill across all written content, and run the `standards-compliance-checker` on the full curriculum. The Accessibility Auditor can also ensure consistency across all published content.
### Q: Can I use these modes for non-educational content?
**A:** While designed for educational content, many skills (like `readability-analyzer`, `tone-consistency-checker`, and `wcag-compliance-checker`) are applicable to any content creation.

# Assessment Developer Examples
## Example 1: Well-Written Multiple Choice Question
**Learning Objective:** Students will be able to identify the process of photosynthesis.
```markdown
### Question 1
Which of the following best describes the process of photosynthesis?
A. Plants absorb oxygen from the air to produce energy
B. Plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen
C. Plants break down glucose to release energy for growth
D. Plants absorb nutrients from the soil to build new cells
**Correct Answer:** B
**Feedback:**
- A: Incorrect. Plants produce oxygen during photosynthesis; they don't absorb it. This describes respiration.
- B: Correct! Photosynthesis uses sunlight, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).
- C: Incorrect. This describes cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
- D: Incorrect. While plants do absorb nutrients from soil, this is not the process of photosynthesis.
```
**Analysis:**
- Clear, single correct answer
- All distractors are plausible
- Each distractor represents a common misconception
- Feedback is specific and educational
---
## Example 2: Analytic Rubric
**Learning Objective:** Students will be able to write a persuasive essay with a clear thesis, supporting evidence, and logical organization.

# Instructional Writer Examples
## Example 1: Well-Written Explanation
**Topic:** Photosynthesis
```markdown
# How Plants Make Food: Photosynthesis
Have you ever wondered how a tiny seed grows into a giant oak tree? Plants don't eat food like we do—they make their own! The process they use is called **photosynthesis** (foto-SIN-thuh-sis).
## What Is Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is how plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into food (sugar) and oxygen. Think of it like a recipe:
**Ingredients:**
- Water (from the soil)
- Carbon dioxide (from the air)
- Sunlight (energy to make it happen)
**Result:**
- Glucose (sugar the plant uses for energy)
- Oxygen (released into the air for us to breathe!)
## Where Does It Happen?
Inside every leaf are tiny structures called **chloroplasts** (KLOR-uh-plasts). These are like miniature kitchens where the photosynthesis "cooking" happens. Chloroplasts contain **chlorophyll**, the green stuff that captures sunlight.
**Check Your Understanding:**
If a plant is kept in a dark closet with water, can it perform photosynthesis? Why or why not?
<details>
<summary>Answer</summary>
No! The plant needs sunlight as the energy source for photosynthesis. Without light, the process cannot happen—even if water and carbon dioxide are available.
</details>
```
**Analysis:**
- Uses conversational tone with direct address
- Includes analogy (recipe/kitchen)
- Breaks complex concept into parts
- Includes check for understanding
- Reading level: approximately 6th grade

## Example 2: Active Learning Exercise
```markdown
# Practice: Identifying Learning Objectives
## Instructions
Read each learning objective below. Decide whether it uses a measurable verb from Bloom's Taxonomy. If not, suggest a better verb.
### Objective 1
"Students will understand the causes of World War I."
<details>
<summary>Analysis</summary>
**Not measurable.** "Understand" is vague. Better: "Students will **explain** the causes of World War I."
</details>
### Objective 2
"Students will be able to list the three branches of government."
<details>
<summary>Analysis</summary>
**Measurable.** "List" is a clear, observable action at the Remember level.
</details>

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to explain what a fraction represents and identify the numerator and denominator.
## What Is a Fraction?
A fraction represents a part of a whole. Imagine a pizza cut into 8 equal slices. If you eat 3 slices, you've eaten 3/8 of the pizza.
**Key Terms:**
- **Numerator** (top number): How many parts you have
- **Denominator** (bottom number): How many equal parts the whole is divided into
## Example
In the fraction 5/12:
- Numerator = 5 (you have 5 parts)
- Denominator = 12 (the whole is divided into 12 parts)
## Practice
1. In the fraction 2/7, what is the numerator? What is the denominator?
2. If a chocolate bar has 10 pieces and you eat 4, what fraction did you eat?
## Summary
- Fractions show parts of a whole
- Numerator = parts you have
- Denominator = total equal parts
```
