Skill. Install it once in an AI app — a Claude Skill, a ChatGPT GPT, or a Gemini Gem. Claude works best.
I use this skill when I want to design a worksheet or handout. It asks me about the worksheet before building anything, starting with what it's for, who it's for, and how the page should flow. Then it works through the design with me, suggesting scaffolding options, exercise ideas, and a few ways to lay the page out. It builds the print-ready HTML file last, so I can save it as a PDF or print it directly.
Download it and add it to your AI app — it runs in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini.
Why I built this
I found that if I asked my AI agent to build me a worksheet, I’d have to explain my teaching priorities every single time. It also kept making the same layout mistakes: not enough space to write, vague instructions, overexplained activities, emoji and other things that don’t work in black-and-white printing. I built this skill to fix that and get reliably good worksheets every time.
It won’t build anything until you’ve answered a few questions first. What students should be able to do afterwards, who they are, whether it’s class or homework, one page or several, photocopy-safe or not. Then, part by part, it offers two or three layout options with the trade-off of each one named, and only builds once you’ve picked. It also includes an answer key and checks its own work. You get a print-ready HTML page: clean icons, styling that still reads in black and white, page breaks where they should fall. Open it in a browser and print, or save it as a PDF.
Note: Even with this skill you may need a few rounds before you’re happy with the worksheet, but that’s part of the design process.
How to install it
Download it below and add it to your AI app. Claude gives the best results, since it follows the design steps most faithfully, but it can also run as a custom GPT in ChatGPT or a Gem in Gemini. Microsoft Copilot’s basic tier can’t run packaged skills. I might build a stripped-down version that works there; email me if you’d want that.
Pro tip: Feed it as much context as you can. The more it knows about your lesson, the better the activities it suggests. I usually run this skill together with grill-me or grill-with-docs during the design process to get my own priorities clear.
