Specialized Domain
Purpose
Provides domain expertise for the 10 Specialized & Deepening tier packs. These subjects enrich and deepen the educational experience beyond core academics and applied skills: philosophy, theology, physical education, nature studies, home economics, visual arts, music, trades, astronomy, and learning to learn. Each subject emphasizes personal growth, cultural awareness, and life skills.
Capabilities
- Subject-specific learning outcome hierarchies for 10 specialized subjects
- Cross-subject prerequisite mapping to core and applied tiers where applicable
- Grade-level complexity scaling with emphasis on experiential learning at all levels
- Specialized activity types (philosophical debates, art projects, musical performance, nature observation, hands-on trades)
- Assessment methods emphasizing reflection, portfolio, and demonstration
- Resource curation with emphasis on primary sources, community resources, and hands-on materials

Token Budget Rationale
1.0% budget covers the domain knowledge reference for 10 subjects. The skill provides subject-specific guidance (not full content) -- the actual content is generated in context using the authoring templates.
