Ontology School Path Generator Skill

Goal

Generate a complete Ontology School course with progressive ontology steps.

Read First

  1. docs/authoring-guide.md
  2. docs/learn-content-guide.md
  3. docs/embed-guide.md
  4. Example lab:
  • content/learn/iq-lab-retail-supply-chain/
  • catalogue/official/iq-lab-retail-step-1/

Workflow

  1. Extract a teachable subset from source ontology.
  2. Define step progression (4-7 steps).
  3. Create step ontologies under catalogue/official/<slug>-step-N/.
  4. Mark step ontologies with "category": "school".
  5. Create course under content/learn/<course-slug>/.
  6. Add <ontology-embed> + diff for progressive steps.
  7. Include at least one quiz per article.

Person Names

If the course, step ontologies, examples, sample data, quests, quiz text, or docs need any person names, first use the name-generator skill. Do not invent customer, employee, patient, student, instructor, reviewer, or other human names.

All generated person names must come from:

data/reference/FNF-2026-06-01-01002-0268.csv

Use the CSV FullName column by default, and keep selected names consistent across source markdown, RDF/OWL examples, generated catalogue data, and tests.

Validate

  • npm run qa:tutorial-content
  • npm run build

Human Review Flow

If lesson content is not yet approved:

  • Add reviewStatus: under-human-review to article frontmatter
  • Open review issue via .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ontology-school-review.yml

Done Criteria

  • Course renders in /#/learn
  • Step ontologies are isolated in School category
  • Any person names introduced by the lesson or sample data came from the name-generator skill / approved CSV fixture
  • Builds and validators pass
