# Core Academic Domain

## Purpose

Provides domain expertise for the 15 Core Academic tier packs. Contains subject-specific knowledge for generating educationally accurate content: learning outcome frameworks, prerequisite relationships within and across subjects, grade-appropriate complexity scaling, and standards alignment references (Common Core, NCTM, NGSS where applicable).

## Capabilities

- Subject-specific learning outcome hierarchies for 15 core subjects
- Cross-subject prerequisite mapping (e.g., MATH-101 as prerequisite for PHYS-101, STAT-101)
- Grade-level complexity scaling from PreK through College+
- Standards alignment references: Common Core (math, reading), NCTM (math), NGSS (science, engineering)
- Subject-specific activity types (lab experiments for science, proof exercises for math, debates for communication)
- Assessment method selection per subject domain
- Resource curation guidance per subject (textbooks, interactive tools, online courses)

## Subject Coverage

| Subject | Pack ID | Key Domains |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Mathematics | MATH-101 | Number sense, algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics |
| Science Method | SCI-101 | Scientific method, observation, hypothesis, experimentation |
| Technology | TECH-101 | Digital tools, computational thinking, tech literacy |
| Engineering | ENGR-101 | Design process, constraints, prototyping, testing |
| Physics | PHYS-101 | Mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, electromagnetism |
| Chemistry | CHEM-101 | Atomic structure, reactions, stoichiometry, organic |
| Reading | READ-101 | Phonics, comprehension, analysis, critical reading |
| Critical Thinking | CRIT-101 | Logic, argument analysis, bias detection, evaluation |
| Problem Solving | PROB-101 | Strategies, decomposition, pattern recognition |
| Communication | COMM-101 | Speaking, listening, persuasion, media literacy |
| History | HIST-101 | Chronology, causation, primary sources, historiography |
| Geography | GEO-101 | Physical geography, human geography, mapping, GIS |
| Materials | MFAB-101 | Material properties, manufacturing, sustainability |
| Business | BUS-101 | Entrepreneurship, management, ethics, law basics |
| Statistics | STAT-101 | Data collection, probability, inference, visualization |

## Dependencies

- kp-content-authoring skill for file structure and templates
- Pack runtime schemas for validation

## Token Budget Rationale

1.0% budget covers the domain knowledge reference for 15 subjects. The skill provides subject-specific guidance (not full content) -- the actual content is generated in context using the authoring templates.
