Learning design that follows your standards.
Plan clear learning outcomes, create visual module-by-module lessons, align assessments and prepare courses for a consistent Academy release.
Private plugin · Sign in to ChatGPT · Access is limited to authorised users
One learning blueprint. A repeatable publishing process.
From brief to build-ready curriculum
Four connected design capabilities
Reusable guidance and templates keep instructional quality consistent, without recreating the rules for every course request.
Visual learning experiences
Specify annotated screenshots, process diagrams, instructional illustrations, alt text and responsive visuals that explain rather than decorate.
Output: visual asset specifications and media QA
Assessment and standards
Map outcomes to labs, feedback and assessor rubrics. Review accessibility and document applicable education-quality requirements.
Output: assessment matrix and evidence gaps
Publishing conformance
Check Academy headers, footers, themes, contrast, enrolment links, canonical URLs, navigation, sitemaps and GitHub release gates.
Output: publication checklist and release decisions
Repeatable by design
A predictable course-production workflow
Each stage produces an inspectable deliverable. A course only reaches the site after authorised publishing and successful verification.

Connected actions remain permission-based.
The plugin provides guidance and reusable instructions. It does not independently edit GitHub repositories, merge pull requests, grant enrolments or deploy a production website. Those operations require separately connected and authorised tools.
Designed for reviewability
Quality is verified, not assumed
Build an auditable evidence trail for learning design and the finished website.
Academy release standards
- Accessible by design. Aim for WCAG 2.2 AA, readable contrast, semantic structure and keyboard operation; verify the actual page in both themes.
- Instructionally aligned. Link every assessment and practical activity to an observable learning outcome.
- Secure learning operations. Keep restricted learner data, proprietary content and graded assessment records out of public GitHub Pages artifacts.
- Consistent publication. Verify global navigation and footer, enrolment paths, site assets, responsive layout, metadata and sitemap registration.
Try it with a course brief
A better starting prompt
Start with a concrete audience, a delivery target and an agreed quality bar. The plugin can prepare the reusable design artifacts before any authorised release actions.
Example course brief
Design a Skunkworks Academy course on GitHub Pages deployment, DNS and HTTPS for junior cloud engineers. Make each module a separate navigable page with measurable outcomes, labelled technical visuals, hands-on labs, assessment rubrics and links to official documentation. Reuse the Academy global shell and design tokens, then prepare a WCAG 2.2 AA, enrolment, sitemap and CI release checklist. Do not claim ISO certification without verified evidence.

Before you begin
Questions about using the plugin
Can anyone install or use the plugin?
Not currently. This is a private plugin in its owner's ChatGPT account. The plugin link may require signing in and an authorised connection; a public web landing page does not grant plugin access.
Does the plugin build and publish courses automatically?
No. It supplies instructional-design skills, blueprints, review criteria and release guidance. Publishing, GitHub edits and LMS operations depend on separately connected tools, permissions and passing checks.
Does it certify an ISO-compliant course?
No. It helps identify relevant quality requirements, map learning evidence and document gaps. Formal conformity claims require an appropriate independent, documented assessment.
Where should learner assessments and confidential files be stored?
In an authenticated LMS or approved protected document service with access control, audit logs and retention policies. Do not embed sensitive records or private answer keys in public static pages.
Ready to plan your next course?
Build once. Publish consistently.
