DaRL-GenAI Course Generate (Full ADDIE Pipeline)
Runs the complete multi-agent course generation pipeline:
- Phase 1 — Foundation deliberations (learning objectives, resource assessment, target audience, syllabus, assessment planning, final project)
- Phase 2 — Per-chapter development (slides, scripts, assessments via SlidesDeliberation)
- Phase 3 — Evaluation (Program Chair + Test Student review)
This is a long-running task — typically 20–60 minutes depending on model and number of chapters. Confirm scope with the user before launching.
When to invoke this skill
- User asks to generate a course / teaching materials / curriculum
- User provides a topic/subject and wants end-to-end output
- User wants to reproduce the paper's pipeline on new content
Do not invoke for:
- Just converting existing LaTeX → PPTX → use
latex-to-pptx - Only evaluating existing slides → use
slide-evaluate - Optimizing an existing slide chapter → (future:
slide-optimizeskill)
Prerequisites

Follow-up skills
After generation you typically want to run:
latex-compile→ produce PDFslatex-to-pptx→ produce editable PowerPoint (per chapter)slide-evaluate→ re-evaluate with different rubrics
