layer-definitions
Provide L1-L5 pedagogy layer reference for the AI-Native Robotics Textbook. Use when assigning layers to content, understanding layer requirements, or validating layer progression.
When & Why to Use This Skill
This Claude skill provides a comprehensive L1-L5 pedagogical framework specifically designed for the AI-Native Robotics Textbook. It enables educators and content creators to systematically define, assign, and validate the level of AI involvement in educational content, ensuring a logical progression from manual foundational learning to full autonomous AI orchestration.
Use Cases
- Curriculum Development: Assigning appropriate pedagogical layers (L1-L5) to robotics course modules to balance manual skill-building with AI-assisted learning.
- Content Validation: Auditing existing textbook chapters to ensure that prerequisites from lower layers are met before advancing to more complex AI-driven tasks.
- Instructional Design: Defining the specific roles of students and AI agents for robotics projects, ranging from assisted collaboration to spec-driven generation.
- Pedagogical Alignment: Ensuring that mental models and foundational concepts are taught manually (L1) before introducing AI templates or autonomous workflows (L3-L5).

Layer Definitions
Instructions
When determining pedagogical layers:
- Assess the content's AI involvement level
- Match to the appropriate layer (L1-L5)
- Ensure prerequisites from lower layers are met
- Validate layer progression is logical
Layer Overview
| Layer | Name | AI Involvement | Student Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Manual | None | Full manual work |
| L2 | Collaboration | Assisted | AI helps after understanding |
| L3 | Intelligence | Templated | Using AI templates/skills |
| L4 | Spec-Driven | Guided | AI generates from specs |
| L5 | Full Autonomy | Autonomous | AI-driven end-to-end |
Layer Selection Guide
