coursekit

Español

AI-assisted e-learning course production: reference material, instructional design, writing, review, media, assembly and SCORM delivery, with human sign-offs at the control points. It works with Claude Code, opencode and Codex, interchangeably.

Package slxd-coursekit, command coursekit. By Studio LXD.

Early development (0.3.0). Published on PyPI as slxd-coursekit.

What it does

coursekit turns a folder into a course production project and drives the work through a fixed process in which AI agents do the drafting and people keep the decisions:

1. Brief — you drop the reference material (documents, links, notes); coursekit converts it for the agents.
2. Instructional design — an agent proposes units, sections, objectives and hours; you sign it off.
3. Writing — an agent writes every unit in a fixed Markdown format; coursekit verify checks it against the production rules.
4. Review — a second agent (another tool or model) reviews each unit; you sign off each unit.
5. Media — images, graphics, video, audio and interactive demos are planned and produced with the tools you have.
6. Assembly — from the approved Markdown, never the other way round, with one of two backends: the content is loaded into the authoring platform (slxd creator), or coursekit itself builds a SCORM package per unit (the html backend, no platform in between). You choose per project or per course.
7. Delivery — SCORM packages (exported from the platform, or built by coursekit) are recorded and published to a shared folder with a tracking spreadsheet.

Only a person can sign (coursekit approve); agents are forbidden to run it.

Status

Early development (0.3). What is solid and what is still to prove:

• Used end to end: the process from brief to SCORM delivery, with both backends (slxd creator and the html backend), in Spanish and English; the decision-based approach with simulations; the local instructional design; the handoff mode.
• New and less proven: migrating an existing course from eXeLearning packages (coursekit import, /update-unit, videos from official channels). It converts real packages without losing text, but the whole flow with real agents is still being piloted.
• Known gaps of the creator platform that the pipeline works around: Known limits of the creator backend.
• Not yet: reading eXeLearning 4 packages (.elpx) or HTML exports of a site, publishing the components of the html backend as a package of their own, more languages than Spanish and English.

Install

You need uv; it brings the right Python (3.12 or 3.13). To work on courses you also need git, an AI tool (Claude Code, opencode or Codex) and the URL of your SLXD Creator MCP server; see Getting started.

uv tool install slxd-coursekit
coursekit --version

To install the development version straight from the repository instead: uv tool install git+https://github.com/studiolxd/coursekit.

To try it from a clone, with changes taking effect immediately:

uv tool install --editable /path/to/coursekit

To update an installed copy: uv tool upgrade slxd-coursekit. Nothing else: the first command in each project regenerates its managed files and agent files. A specific version: uv tool install slxd-coursekit==0.2.1.

Quick start

coursekit init my-courses        # a short wizard: language first, then everything else
cd my-courses
coursekit doctor                 # what is installed and configured here

Then open your AI tool in that folder and run:

/new-course "Strong passwords" 2

or, from the terminal, without opening anything yourself:

coursekit run new-course "Strong passwords" 2

coursekit status always tells you where each course is and what the next step is.

Languages

The tool speaks Spanish and English: the wizard asks the language first and everything after (messages, help, spreadsheets, templates for people) follows it. Courses can be written in either language; the content format adapts to it.
