developer-education-strategy skill (samber): decide on an academy or certification

• Routes tutorials, quickstarts, docs structure and workshops to other skills first.

  It also stops if the request is internal employee onboarding, which SKILL.md leaves to people or L&D teams.

  Scope check

• Asks up to eleven questions, one per message, then runs the investment gate.

  Answers 9 to 11 (date, one-off or compounding goal, effort ceiling) re-rank the program tiers and it says which answer moved which rung.

  Interview

• Prescribes the cheapest fix that matches the evidence and gives a one-sentence verdict.

  Four signals justify a structured program. Four others point elsewhere, such as docs navigation or a missing quickstart.

  Evidence gate

• Ranks five rungs from a curated learning path up to proctored certification.

  Curated learning path, curriculum with labs, ad-hoc content, completion or skill badge, certification. It deletes rungs your answers rule out instead of listing them.

  Choose the program tier

• Builds backwards from a job task analysis; every module must trace to a task.

  If more than 20% of modules fail the trace, the curriculum was written from the feature list and needs a restart. SKILL.md labels that 20% as its own baseline.

  Curriculum design

• Recommends a credential only when someone outside the education team will act on it.

  Three types: completion badge, skill badge, certification. Designing the credential itself is handed to developer-certification-program.

  Credential decision

• Writes down seven decisions, from owner and staffing to refresh trigger and pricing.

  A program missing any one of them is called a launch plan, not a program.

  Operating model

• Sets one metric per level of the Kirkpatrick model and a kill rule stated as a number.

  Covers reaction, learning, behavior and results, with the learner-to-product-usage join decided before launch.

  Measurement and kill rules

• Delivers an education charter with eleven sections, approved one at a time.

  Gate verdict through to a list of where each number came from, then a self-review scorecard of eleven checks. If there is no durable memory, SKILL.md says to write the charter to a file in the repository.

  Try: “we have forty tutorials and no learning path”

  Write · Education charter

Watch out for

• The charter may be written into your repository

  When there is no durable memory, SKILL.md says to write the charter to a file in the repository and say where it lives. Our advice: name the target folder first and review the file before committing it. github.com

• It may keep notes in devrel-context.md

  SKILL.md tells the agent to store a few details about the current task or project, and to use a file called devrel-context.md when its memory lives in a file. Our advice: open that file before you commit or share the folder. github.com

• The plugin route installs the whole collection

  The README's plugin and extension routes add every skill in the repo; its git tree holds 93. The repo has no hooks, agents, commands or MCP server files, and 14 of its skills bundle a script. Our advice: use the skills CLI command for this skill if you want only it. github.com
