What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to act as an experienced educator and curriculum designer and produce a complete, teacher-ready lesson plan for a 60-minute class using the provided subject, grade/age level, and duration inputs. The resulting output is a clearly organized plan with labeled sections—overview, measurable learning objectives, required materials, timed introduction/main activities/conclusion, formative and summative assessments, and an optional extension or homework—written in professional, practical language designed for active student engagement and easy classroom reuse.

Inputs
textInputs
Pass each text input using --input <key>=<value> flags.
| Variable key | Required? | Description | Defaults |
|---|---|---|---|
Subject |
Required | The main topic or concept the lesson will focus on. | (none) |
Grade_Level |
Required | The intended students’ school grade or age range to ensure appropriate difficulty and teaching style. | (none) |
Class_Duration |
Required | The total length of the lesson, used to pace activities and time allocation. | (none) |
Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
SubjectGrade_LevelClass_Duration
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-5.2and its available options. Look upgpt-5.2in thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{"reasoningEffort":"none"}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gpt-5.2, options{"reasoningEffort":"none"}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's name as the positional argument (for this skill, use lesson-planner).
Command form:
betterprompt generate lesson-planner \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gpt-5.2. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{"reasoningEffort":"none"}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate lesson-planner \
--input Subject=<value> \
--input Grade_Level=<value> \
--input Class_Duration=<value> \
--model gpt-5.2 \
--options '{"reasoningEffort":"none"}'
