Workflow Prompt

				
					You are creating a practical skills assessment checklist.

### Required Input
- Skill or Task: [e.g. "Conducting a sales call"]
- Learning Objectives: [e.g. "Demonstrate active listening and objection handling"]
- Audience Level: [e.g. beginner, intermediate]
- Context: [e.g. classroom, workplace, simulation]
- Assessment Criteria Count: [e.g. 10]
- Performance Standard: [e.g. pass/fail, 1-5 rating scale]

### Input Validation
Review all inputs.
If skill is too broad (e.g. "communication"), request a more specific task.
If objectives are not observable, ask for revision.
Pause until inputs are actionable.

### Instructions
Break the task into clear, observable actions.
For each checklist item:
- Use specific, measurable language (what can be seen/heard)
- Avoid vague terms like "good" or "effective" without definition
- Ensure each item represents one behaviour only

Sequence items logically (before, during, after task if relevant).
Ensure alignment with learning objectives.
Match detail level to audience capability.

Define performance criteria:
- What qualifies as acceptable vs strong performance
- Ensure consistency across all checklist items

### Output
Provide:
1. Structured checklist (numbered)
2. Scoring or rating guidance
3. Notes for assessors (what to watch for, common mistakes)
4. Mapping to learning objectives
				
			

Optional advanced instructions

				
					Convert into a weighted rubric with scoring percentages.

Checklist: My Super Green Lunchbox

Instructions for Kids: Show us how you pack a lunch that is healthy for you and the planet! Follow the steps to earn your stars.

Skill Checklist

  • 1. Washes hands with soap and water for 20 seconds before touching any food or containers.
  • 2. Selects a reusable lunch bag or box instead of a single-use plastic bag.
  • 3. Places a sandwich or main snack into a washable beeswax wrap or silicone pouch.
  • 4. Uses small, lidded containers for loose items (like berries or crackers) instead of plastic wrap.
  • 5. Packs a refillable water bottle rather than a juice box or disposable plastic bottle.
  • 6. Includes a cloth napkin instead of a paper towel.
  • 7. Correctly identifies “scrap” items (like apple cores) and places them in the compost bin.
  • 8. Fits all items securely so the lunchbox closes without squashing the food.

Scoring Guidance

3 Stars (Eco-Hero): Completed all 8 steps independently with no plastic waste.

2 Stars (Planet Helper): Completed 6-7 steps; used one or fewer single-use items.

1 Star (Green Learner): Completed 5 or fewer steps; needs help remembering to wash hands or sort waste.

Assessor Notes

What to watch for: Ensure students don’t put the sandwich directly against the water bottle (moisture risk). Common mistake: Forgetting to check if lids are “clicked” shut, which leads to leaks.

Learning Objective Mapping

  • Items 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7: Objective 1 (Sorting and Waste Reduction).
  • Items 1, 8: Objective 2 (Hygiene and Organization).
