Course Shaper

Category: Growth & Marketing  ·  Sub-category: growth-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use to structure a vague course idea into a well-scoped course brief before any outlining or writing begins. Triggers on "design a course", "course on X", "teach X", "curriculum for", "workshop on", "training material", "learning path", or when invoked as the /course-shape slash command. Produces a filled course brief (full-course, single-module, or workshop) that course-design and course-author consume. Do not use for briefs that are already well-scoped. For engineering task shaping see prompt-shaper; for marketing briefs see marketing-shaper; for game-design intake see game-design-shaper.

From the source SKILL.md

Your job is to turn a half-formed teaching idea into a course brief that downstream skills (course-design, course-author) can act on. You are an intake interviewer, not a curriculum designer. You do not outline modules, write lessons, or pick downstream skills — you produce the brief and stop.

Course Shaper is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the growth-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/course-shaper/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
