Curriculum Curator

An educational content workflow orchestration tool designed to streamline the creation of comprehensive curriculum materials through Large Language Model (LLM) integration.

Core Philosophy

Curriculum Curator is designed around two fundamental principles:

1. Prompt-centric Content Generation: All content is derived from well-designed prompts managed within the system.
2. Workflow-driven Process: Content creation follows configurable, automated educational workflows.

Features

• Prompt Registry: Manage a collection of prompts with metadata using YAML front matter
• LLM Integration: Support for multiple providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, Groq, Gemini) via LiteLLM
• Content Transformation: Parse and structure raw LLM outputs in various formats
• Workflow Engine: Orchestrate the sequence of content generation, validation, and remediation steps
• Interactive Mode: Complete menu-driven interface for all operations
• Interactive Workflow Builder: Create and edit workflows through a menu-driven interface
• Interactive Prompt Editor: Create and edit prompts with templates and front matter validation
• Validation Framework: Ensure content quality and consistency through a suite of validators
• Multiple Output Formats: Generate HTML, PDF, DOCX, and presentation slide formats
• Cost Tracking: Monitor token usage and associated costs
• Session Management: Save, resume, and analyze workflow sessions

MVP Workflow Ready!

We've completed our first MVP workflow that generates a complete educational module with:

• Course overview
• Module outline
• Lecture content with validation and remediation
• Worksheet with practice activities
• Assessment with various question types
• Instructor guide with teaching suggestions and answer keys

This workflow is fully configuration-driven and validates against a robust schema to catch errors early. See our guides for more details:

• MVP Workflow Guide - Details on using and extending the workflow
• Workflow Validation Guide - How to validate workflow configurations
• Workflow Builder Guide - How to use the interactive workflow builder
