Using the Oak National Academy connector well

Shows how to connect Oak, find the right key stage, subject, unit or lesson, and read its material without overloading the conversation. It is read-only, so it never changes Oak or your school records.

Use it when

You have just connected Oak and want to know what it can find for you.
You are unsure whether to start from a subject, a unit or a single lesson.
Oak returns nothing or an access error and you want to know why.

Example

Find Year 8 maths units on fractions and tell me which lessons sit in the first one.

Connected to Oak for Key Stage 3 maths. I found 3 fractions units. The first, Introducing fractions, has 6 lessons, which I have listed with their titles. I read only that unit's lesson list and did not pull the full material for every lesson.

Read-only8 Oak National Academy tools

Review your scheme against Oak's curriculum

Compares your planned units against Oak's programme structure to show what is covered, what is out of order and what may be missing, with the Oak unit each gap should map to. It reads the curriculum and does not change your plan.

Use it when

You want to check your year's scheme against the national curriculum sequence
You suspect a unit is out of order and need to know its prerequisites
You are preparing a scheme for an inspection or a department review

Tools it uses

get-key-stages
get-key-stages-subject-units
get-programmes
get-programmes-units
get-prior-knowledge-graph
get-keyword-graph
get-misconception-graph
get-key-stages-subject-lessons

Example

Here is my Year 8 maths scheme as a list of units. Check it against Oak's sequence and tell me what's missing or out of order.

Your 14 units map to 12 Oak units. Two gaps stand out: Oak's 'Equivalent fractions' unit has no matching unit in your plan, and your 'Percentages' unit comes before 'Fractions as operators', which Oak treats as a prerequisite. The other units are strong matches.

Build a lesson sequence from the Oak curriculum

Plans a unit or topic by working down Oak's curriculum structure, checking what pupils need to know first, and producing an ordered lesson sequence you can adapt. It reads the curriculum and does not change anything.

Use it when

Planning a unit for Year 8 geography from Oak's content
Checking the right order for a new topic before teaching it
Turning a topic into a block-by-block sequence for half a term

Tools it uses

get-curriculum-model
get-key-stages
get-key-stages-subject-units
get-programmes
get-programmes-units
get-prior-knowledge-graph
get-keywords
get-keyword-graph
get-key-stages-subject-lessons
get-lessons-summary

Example

Plan a six-lesson sequence on forces for Year 9 science, in the order Oak teaches it, and tell me what pupils need to know first.

Unit: Forces, Key Stage 3 Science, 6 lessons. Block 1 covers contact and non-contact forces (lessons 1 to 2), then balanced forces (lessons 3 to 4). Prerequisite: basic force vocabulary, which is not in this unit, so it is flagged for you to check. You may want to cut lesson 5 if time is short, as it overlaps heavily with lesson 4.

Read-only9 Oak National Academy tools

Build a lesson resource pack from Oak National Academy

Gathers the summary, quiz, transcript and assets for one Oak lesson, checks each item matches that lesson, and orders them for teaching. It asks before downloading or saving anything.

Use it when

A teacher preparing a single lesson who wants everything Oak has for it
A cover teacher who needs a ready handout and quiz for one lesson
A department building a shared set of materials for a unit

Tools it uses

get-lessons-summary
get-lessons-quiz
get-lessons-transcript
get-lessons-assets
download-asset
get-programmes-assets
get-programmes-questions
get-key-stages-subject-assets
get-changelog-latest

Example

Put together a resource pack for Year 8 geography, the lesson on river erosion, with the quiz and any slides.

I found the Year 8 geography lesson on river erosion. The pack has 4 items in teaching order: a retrieval starter, the main slides, a 6-question quiz, and a summary handout. I excluded one worksheet because it belongs to the following lesson on deposition. The quiz uses 'attrition' where the slides say 'abrasion', so you may want to bridge that term. Shall I download the files?

Read-only11 Oak National Academy tools

Check what pupils know before you teach a topic

Maps the prior knowledge and misconceptions for an Oak unit and builds a short pre-teach check with an answer key. It only reads Oak content and changes nothing in your account.

Use it when

Before starting a new unit, to see what pupils already know
When you expect a common misconception and want a quick way to test for it
When you need a five-minute retrieval starter with answers and what each wrong answer means

Tools it uses

get-curriculum-model
browse-curriculum
get-prior-knowledge-graph
get-key-stages-subject-units
get-keywords
get-keyword-graph
get-misconception-graph
get-key-stages-subject-questions
get-programmes-questions
get-lessons-quiz
get-lessons-summary

Example

Before my Year 8 unit on ratio, what should pupils already know, and give me a five-question check with answers.

The essential prerequisites are equivalent fractions and simple multiplication tables. I found three misconceptions to listen for, the most common being that ratio always means adding the same amount to each part. The check has five questions: two test prerequisites and three test the ratio misconception, with each wrong answer labelled by the belief it reveals.

How Oak National Academy skills work

Connect Oak National Academy
The Oak National Academy MCP server gives the agent its tools.
Ask in plain words
“Here is my Year 8 maths scheme as a list of units. Check it against Oak's sequence and tell me what's missing or out of order.” Each SKILL.md says when it applies, so only the one that fits is loaded.
Approve any change
The agent calls the tools in order, checks its work, and shows you any change before it makes it.

Oak National Academy skills FAQ

What is a Oak National Academy agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Oak National Academy skill describes one job, which Oak National Academy tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

Do the Oak National Academy skills change anything on their own?

5 of the 5 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Oak National Academy.

Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Oak National Academy; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

Do I need the Oak National Academy MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Oak National Academy MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Oak National Academy MCP setup guide covers every client.
