Core Academic Domain
Purpose
Provides domain expertise for the 15 Core Academic tier packs. Contains subject-specific knowledge for generating educationally accurate content: learning outcome frameworks, prerequisite relationships within and across subjects, grade-appropriate complexity scaling, and standards alignment references (Common Core, NCTM, NGSS where applicable).
Capabilities
- Subject-specific learning outcome hierarchies for 15 core subjects
- Cross-subject prerequisite mapping (e.g., MATH-101 as prerequisite for PHYS-101, STAT-101)
- Grade-level complexity scaling from PreK through College+
- Standards alignment references: Common Core (math, reading), NCTM (math), NGSS (science, engineering)
- Subject-specific activity types (lab experiments for science, proof exercises for math, debates for communication)
- Assessment method selection per subject domain
- Resource curation guidance per subject (textbooks, interactive tools, online courses)

Dependencies
- kp-content-authoring skill for file structure and templates
- Pack runtime schemas for validation
Token Budget Rationale
1.0% budget covers the domain knowledge reference for 15 subjects. The skill provides subject-specific guidance (not full content) -- the actual content is generated in context using the authoring templates.
