The Teacher Bundle

The Teacher Bundle is the avatar-specific layer for structured-learning creators: course creators, cohort leaders, YouTube educators, tutorial channel operators, workshop facilitators and knowledge product builders. Unlike the other avatar bundles, this one adds almost no new installs. The Foundational Creator Bundle already carries the Teacher's research, plan-challenge, source-harvest, skill-creation, content-strategy and discoverability work. The Teacher layer adds one companion-install link to GarethManning's 111-skill evidence-based pedagogy library plus the framing that turns the universal stack into curriculum design, lesson architecture, cohort orchestration and knowledge product engineering.

What's inside

Definition

The Teacher Bundle is the avatar-specific layer for structured-learning creators working with Claude Code in 2026. The Foundational Creator Bundle (Researcher, Plan Challenger, Source Harvest, Skill Creator, Systematic Debugging plus Content Strategy and AI SEO) is the assumed pre-install. For the Teacher archetype, the Foundational Bundle already covers the majority of the working surface. Researcher is the curriculum source-sweep engine. Plan Challenger is the pre-build curriculum review the solo Teacher could never afford to hire. Source Harvest extracts patterns from reference syllabi, open curricula and competitor learning products. Skill Creator builds custom course-design assistants and cohort-Q&A responders. Content Strategy and AI SEO handle the discoverability layer that turns published courses into found courses. The Teacher layer adds one companion-install link to Gareth Manning's 111-skill evidence-based pedagogy library, which is CC BY-SA licensed and therefore installed directly from the source rather than redistributed by the bundle. The framing of the bundle is the load-bearing piece. The Foundational stack is already the Teacher's stack; the Teacher Bundle teaches the Teacher how to use it as curriculum design rather than as general creator tooling.

Pre-install: the Foundational Creator Bundle

The Teacher Bundle assumes the Foundational Creator Bundle is already present. The Foundational Bundle is the universal substrate: Researcher for curriculum source research, Plan Challenger for adversarial review of the curriculum or module outline, Source Harvest for pattern extraction from reference syllabi and learning products, Skill Creator for codifying recurring teaching workflows, Systematic Debugging for when the multi-tool pipeline breaks, plus Content Strategy and AI SEO for the publishing rhythm and discoverability layer. Teachers need all seven. Installing them once at the substrate level is enough.

If the Foundational Bundle is not yet installed, install it first at /bundles/foundational-creator. The Teacher Bundle install script in this page does not bring those skills again, and it does not install any new skills natively.

What the install brings (and what it does not)

The Teacher Bundle install script does two things. First, it verifies the Foundational substrate is present by checking for marketing-skills@marketingskills in your settings.json. Second, it prints the manual git clone command for the GarethManning/claude-education-skills companion library plus the CC BY-SA 4.0 license context. The script does not install GarethManning's skills automatically because the library is share-alike licensed and the Kingdom bundle does not redistribute share-alike code.

Teachers who want the deep pedagogy layer copy the printed git clone command and run it themselves at the location of their choice. The full 111-skill library installs in seconds. After cloning, restart Claude Code and the GarethManning skills are available alongside the Foundational stack.

For Teachers who only need a subset of the GarethManning library, the curriculum design and assessment domain (15 skills) is the highest-leverage starting point. The repo lets you cherry-pick specific skills by copying individual SKILL.md files into ~/.claude/skills/ rather than cloning the full library.

How the Foundational substrate becomes the Teacher's stack

Researcher runs at the upstream of every curriculum design session. Multi-angle parallel sub-agent research builds the source corpus that the Teacher's own pedagogical judgment then sequences into a learning arc. The Researcher finds what has been proven; the Teacher decides what is worth teaching. For cohort leaders, Researcher powers the weekly insight drops that keep cohort content fresh. For YouTube educators, it powers the depth that separates a reference-worthy video from a shallow overview.

Plan Challenger runs before any module gets recorded or any cohort gets opened. The five-angle adversarial pass against a curriculum outline catches the structural weakness, the sequencing gap and the false assumption while the cost is still zero. This is the instructional design review most solo Teachers skip because they have no curriculum specialist on staff. The skill is the editorial mirror that asks where the learning arc has a gap.

Source Harvest runs when the Teacher needs to extract patterns from external educational repos, course libraries, reference frameworks or competitor curricula. The skill extracts patterns from any external repo at source level rather than at description level. For the Knowledge Product Builder this is the curriculum landscape audit that comes before building a new learning product. For the Tutorial Channel Operator this is the way to stay current with rapidly changing tool documentation.

Skill Creator runs when the Teacher's system becomes sophisticated enough to teach others how to teach. Build a custom course-design assistant that encodes the Teacher's pedagogical voice. Build a cohort-Q&A responder that handles common student questions in the Teacher's register. Build a feedback engine that scores student work against the Teacher's rubric. The skill is the bridge from Teacher-as-user to Teacher-as-builder.

Content Strategy and AI SEO run at the publishing layer. The Teacher's content is only as discoverable as the strategy behind it. Course landing pages, tutorial SEO, YouTube channel architecture and email sequences for pre-launch all require a content strategy layer that most curriculum-focused Teachers skip. AI SEO handles the discoverability layer that turns published courses into found courses in 2026, where Google AI Overviews and AI-generated answer surfaces are deciding what gets surfaced.

Systematic Debugging runs when the multi-skill pipeline produces unexpected output. Every Teacher running a multi-tool workflow eventually hits the moment where the skills stop composing cleanly. Root-cause investigation discipline applies; symptoms are not understanding.

Use Cases

Course creator launching a flagship cohort

A course creator launching the first cohort of a new flagship program runs Researcher to gather the source corpus across the topic and the audience. Plan Challenger reviews the curriculum outline and surfaces the two modules where the sequencing logic breaks. The Teacher reorders. Source Harvest extracts pricing, format and structure patterns from three reference cohort programs. Content Strategy plans the eight-week pre-launch sequence. AI SEO structures the landing page for discoverability inside AI-generated answers. The cohort opens with a curriculum that survived adversarial review before recording started and a launch sequence designed for 2026 search behavior.

YouTube educator building a long-running educational series

A YouTube educator launching a twelve-part series runs Plan Challenger against the series concept before the first script gets written. Researcher dispatches parallel workers on the topic across academic, practitioner and popular surfaces. Source Harvest extracts pattern libraries from three reference channels in adjacent territory. The series scripts ride the Foundational substrate; the platform-specific surface is handled by the YouTube Channel Manager from the [Performer Bundle](/bundles/the-performer) when the educator wants the YouTube-native craft layer. Twelve coherent episodes instead of twelve standalone videos that share a series number.

Tutorial channel operator covering fast-changing software

A tutorial creator covering a piece of software that updates every quarter runs Source Harvest against the latest release notes before recording each tutorial. The skill extracts the structural changes that make the previous tutorial stale. Researcher gathers the community-reported pain points. Plan Challenger reviews the tutorial outline against the new release surface. The published tutorial covers what changed rather than re-recording what already worked. Tutorial freshness becomes a workflow rather than a heroic effort.

Cohort leader running a recurring program with a community

A cohort leader running quarterly cohorts of a multi-week program runs Skill Creator to build a custom cohort-Q&A responder that knows the curriculum, the common student stuck-points and the Teacher's pedagogical voice. The skill answers 70% of student questions in the Teacher's register without the Teacher being in the room. Researcher continues to refresh the source corpus between cohorts. Plan Challenger reviews any curriculum revisions before they go live. The cohort experience deepens across iterations rather than degrading under leader bandwidth limits.

Knowledge product builder shipping a learning library

A Teacher shipping a structured knowledge product (a learning library, a reference guide with embedded instruction, a certification program) runs Source Harvest against the existing landscape to identify what is already covered and what is missing. Researcher gathers the source material that anchors the unique angle. Plan Challenger stress-tests the product architecture before building. Skill Creator builds the learning companion that ships with the product. Content Strategy plans the discoverability layer. The product launches with structural integrity that knowledge products built without these gates often lack.

FAQ

Why is the Teacher Bundle smaller than the other avatar bundles?

Because the Foundational Creator Bundle already covers most of the Teacher's working surface. Researcher, Plan Challenger, Source Harvest, Skill Creator, Systematic Debugging, Content Strategy and AI SEO are universally relevant to creators of any avatar; for the Teacher specifically, those seven skills cover curriculum source research, curriculum review, pattern extraction, custom-tool authoring, root-cause debugging, publishing strategy and discoverability. The Teacher Bundle adds one optional companion-install link (GarethManning's 111-skill pedagogy library) plus the framing that turns the Foundational stack into a curriculum design environment. The bundle is small by design, not by oversight.

Why is GarethManning's library not bundled natively?

The claude-education-skills repository carries a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, which is share-alike. Bundling those skills natively into our install pipeline could trigger derivative-work classification, which would propagate the share-alike license to the Kingdom bundle infrastructure. The conservative path is to link Teachers directly to the source repository and have them install from there. This sidesteps the share-alike question entirely while still giving Teachers full access to the 111-skill library.

Do I need GarethManning's library to use the Teacher Bundle?

No. The Foundational Creator Bundle alone covers the majority of the Teacher's working surface. GarethManning's library adds depth in pedagogy specifically: evidence-based curriculum design, assessment design, backwards design, rubric creation, formative assessment, learning analytics and AI Learning Science. Teachers who want that depth follow the install instructions in the script. Teachers who do not still have a working stack from the Foundational substrate.

How does the Teacher Bundle relate to the other avatar bundles?

Same two-layer pattern across every avatar bundle. The Foundational Bundle is the substrate. The Builder, Writer, Performer, Teacher, Curator and Strategist bundles each ship a small medium-specific layer on top. The Teacher's medium-specific layer happens to be the smallest of the six; that is a feature of the universal-stack alignment, not a gap in the Teacher's tooling.

A YouTube educator is also a Performer. Should I install both bundles?

Yes. Cross-archetype creators install the Foundational Bundle once plus every avatar bundle that fits their work. A YouTube educator running a long-form educational channel installs Foundational plus the Teacher Bundle (for the curriculum and pedagogy framing) plus the Performer Bundle (for YouTube Channel Manager and Video Watcher). The two-layer architecture means no skill duplication; the avatar bundles only add medium-specific resources on top of the shared substrate.

What does the install script actually change on my system?

Almost nothing. The script verifies the Foundational substrate is present by reading your settings.json and looking for marketing-skills@marketingskills. It prints the manual git clone command for GarethManning's library plus the license context. It does not modify settings.json, does not clone any repos and does not install any skills natively. The install is informational by design.

Is the install reversible?

There is nothing to reverse. The script does not modify your system. If you choose to follow the printed git clone command for GarethManning's library, removing it later is a single rm -rf against the directory you cloned into. The Foundational Bundle is unaffected.
