Curriculum Generator Skill

Purpose

This skill helps generate customized educational curricula for PODs (Points of Delivery) through a structured, step-enforced process with mandatory human escalation when needed.

Core Capabilities

Guided requirement gathering via structured questionnaire

Research-based curriculum design or assessment

Excel (.xlsx) output generation

Local memory storage for continuous improvement

Background task execution

Strict human escalation policy enforcement

Storage Locations

Memory: ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/memory/

Outputs: ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/outputs/

Templates: ~/.openclaw/skills/curriculum-generator/templates/

Activation Triggers

This skill activates when the user:

Says "create curriculum", "design curriculum", or "assess curriculum"

Says "curriculum help" or "start curriculum process"

Explicitly requests curriculum generation for a POD

CRITICAL RULES (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

Core Principle

You MUST ask a human whenever you are forced to guess, infer, or trade off risk. If a wrong decision could affect students, teachers, or POD operations, escalation is MANDATORY.

Hard-Stop Escalation Triggers

You MUST stop and escalate to human if ANY of these occur:

A. Missing or Ambiguous Inputs

Target age/grade level is unclear

Teacher availability or capability is unknown

Daily lab hours are not specified

Infrastructure reliability (computers/internet/electricity) is unclear

Whether existing curriculum exists is not confirmed

B. Teacher Capability Risk

Teachers cannot operate computers independently

Teachers lack experience running labs

Teachers cannot manage lab discipline or session flow

C. Operational Infeasibility

Curriculum hours exceed available lab hours

Sessions per week exceed teacher capacity

Student-to-computer ratio is unsafe

Infrastructure cannot support planned activities

D. High-Risk Curriculum Changes

Removing major learning outcomes

Changing curriculum duration significantly

Shifting learning area (e.g., digital literacy → employment readiness)

Introducing new tools/platforms not previously used

E. Contradictory Stakeholder Signals

Teachers say curriculum is too hard, students say too easy

POD leader priorities conflict with feasibility

Feedback loops contradict assessment data

Escalation Format (MANDATORY)

When escalating, use this EXACT format:

🚨 HUMAN INPUT REQUIRED
Reason: [specific trigger]
Impact if Unresolved: [clear consequence]
Options (if any):
1. [option 1]
2. [option 2]
Awaiting Decision From: [POD Leader / Curriculum Owner]

PROCESS FLOW

STEP 0: SCENARIO IDENTIFICATION (MANDATORY)

Before anything else, determine:

Scenario A: Assessment of existing curriculum

Scenario B: Design of new curriculum

If unclear, STOP and ask user to confirm. Do NOT proceed without classification.

---

SCENARIO A: ASSESSING EXISTING CURRICULUM

#### STEP A1: Gather Basic Information Collect ALL of the following using the structured form:

Section 0: Request Metadata

Request ID (auto-generate using timestamp)

Date of Request (auto-capture)

Requested By (Name + Role)

POD Name (REQUIRED)

Scenario Type (must be selected)

⚠️ If Scenario Type not selected → HARD STOP

Section 1: Target Audience Profile (MANDATORY) 1. Primary Student Group: - Age range - Grade/Education level 2. Student Background (check all that apply): - First-time computer users - Basic exposure (mouse, keyboard) - Prior digital lab experience - Mixed levels 3. Language Comfort: - Medium of instruction - English proficiency (Low/Medium/High) 4. Special Constraints: - Learning disabilities - Attendance inconsistency - Social/economic limitations

⚠️ If age/grade missing → HARD STOP and escalate

Section 2: POD & Infrastructure Details (MANDATORY) 1. Lab Infrastructure: - Number of computers - Average students per session - Internet availability (Reliable/Unstable/None) - Power backup (Yes/No) 2. Daily Lab Usage: - Available hours per day - Days per week lab is operational 3. Existing Tools/Platforms: - Operating System - Software already installed - Internet restrictions

⚠️ If lab hours or computer count missing → HARD STOP and escalate

Section 3: Teacher Capability & Availability (MANDATORY) 1. Number of Teachers Assigned 2. Teacher Availability: - Days per week - Hours per day 3. Teacher Capability Assessment: - Can operate computers independently? (Yes/No) - Comfortable managing digital labs? (Yes/No) - Prior experience with similar programs? (Yes/No) 4. Training Requirement: - No training needed - Short training needed - Extensive training needed

⚠️ Any "No" in capability assessment → Potential escalation

#### STEP A2: Stakeholder Inputs (Structured Summary) Simulate structured stakeholder inputs based on provided data:

POD Leader: Effectiveness, challenges, change needs

Teachers: Teaching experience, curriculum gaps, student progress

Students: Difficulty level, engagement, relevance

Then perform Teacher Capability Assessment:

Can teachers operate computers independently?

Can they run the lab as per curriculum?

Can they manage discipline, safety, and session flow?

Identify training gaps (if any)

#### STEP A3: Curriculum Evaluation Evaluate curriculum on these dimensions:

Relevance to student needs

Alignment with industry/digital literacy goals

Flexibility for varied learning speeds

Outcome clarity and measurability

Technology integration quality

Then perform Operational Feasibility Check:

Lab schedule feasibility

Teacher sufficiency

Infrastructure readiness (computers, internet, electricity)

#### STEP A4: Recommendations

Clearly state whether modification is required or optional

If required, propose specific, actionable changes

Flag risks explicitly

End with: Status: Draft Assessment – Pending Human Review

---

SCENARIO B: DESIGNING A NEW CURRICULUM

#### STEP B1: Define Curriculum Foundation Explicitly define:

Learning Areas: Digital Literacy / Academic Empowerment / Skill Development / Employment Readiness

Target Audience: Grade, background

Clear, measurable Learning Outcomes (no vague outcomes allowed)

#### STEP B2: Develop Course Structure Generate:

Modules and sub-topics

Weekly lesson breakdown

Learning objective per lesson

Program duration (e.g., 3 months / 6 months)

Class frequency

Lab Planning (Mandatory):

Daily lab operating hours

Sessions per week

Max students per session

END OF STEP B2 - MANDATORY ACTION BEFORE PROCEEDING:

BEFORE moving to Step B3, execute this command sequence:
1. Review the curriculum structure you just created
2. Identify ALL topics that will appear in the final output
3. For EACH topic, RIGHT NOW, execute:
   
   neo-ddg-search("{topic} tutorial for beginners")
   
4. Extract the first valid educational URL from results
5. Store it in a resource_map dictionary:
   
   resource_map["{topic}"] = "https://..."
6. Verify resource_map has entries for ALL topics
7. Only then proceed to Step B3
Example:
Topic: "Python Lists"
Execute: neo-ddg-search("Python Lists tutorial for beginners")
Result: Found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc
Store: resource_map["Python Lists"] = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc"
DO NOT SKIP THIS. DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT COMPLETING THIS.

Step 5: Create a Simpler Test in Telegram
Now test with very explicit instructions. In Telegram, send:

Create a tiny test curriculum:

Topic: HTML Basics

Duration: 1 week only

2 lessons total

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS: 1. After creating the structure, use neo-ddg-search to find resources for EACH lesson 2. Before generating the CSV file, verify ALL resource links are real URLs 3. Show me each search you perform 4. If ANY resource link is empty or "TBD", STOP and search for it immediately

Start now.

MANDATORY: End of Step B2 Resource Collection

Before proceeding to Step B3, you MUST complete this:

STOP HERE.
Before moving to Step B3, execute this sequence:
1. List all topics you just created: [topic1, topic2, topic3, ...]
2. Create an empty dictionary: resource_links = {}
3. FOR EACH topic:
   a. Execute: result = neo-ddg-search("{topic} tutorial for beginners")
   b. Look at the result text
   c. Find all text that starts with "https://"
   d. Extract the complete URL
   e. Store: resource_links[topic] = that_url
   f. Print: "Stored for {topic}: {that_url}"
4. Verify resource_links has ALL topics
5. Print the complete resource_links dictionary
6. ONLY THEN proceed to Step B3
Example for "HTML Basics":
   Execute: neo-ddg-search("HTML Basics tutorial for beginners")
   Result contains: "...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg..."
   Extract: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg"
   Store: resource_links["HTML Basics"] = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg"
   Print: "Stored for HTML Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQN-pnXPaVg"
DO THIS FOR EVERY SINGLE TOPIC BEFORE MOVING ON.

END OF STEP B2 - RESOURCE COLLECTION (MANDATORY)

YOU MUST NOW COLLECT RESOURCES BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Execute this EXACT sequence:
1. Create empty dictionary: resource_links = {}
2. List all topics from Step B2
3. For EACH topic, execute:
   
   bash_tool: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "{topic} tutorial for beginners" 5
   
4. From the output, find all text starting with "https://"
5. Take the first URL that contains "youtube.com", or if none, the first URL
6. Store it: resource_links[topic] = that_url
7. Print: "Collected for {topic}: {that_url}"
8. After ALL topics are done, print the complete resource_links dictionary
9. Verify every topic has a URL
10. ONLY THEN create the CSV using URLs from resource_links
DO NOT WRITE "TBD" IN THE CSV.
USE THE URLS FROM resource_links DICTIONARY.
If you cannot find a URL for a topic, STOP and ESCALATE.
Do not proceed to CSV generation without URLs for all topics.

Save and Test
Save the file, then in Telegram:

reload skills

Then test with a VERY simple example:

Create curriculum:

Topic: HTML only

1 lesson total

Show me EVERY step

After you build the structure: 1. Search for HTML resources using: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "HTML tutorial for beginners" 5 2. Show me the raw output 3. Extract the URLs 4. Show me what URL you extracted 5. Show me the CSV content BEFORE writing it 6. If Resource Link shows "TBD", STOP immediately

Start.

What to Watch For
You should see output like:

✅ Course structure complete

🔍 Starting resource search...

Topic: HTML Basics Executing: python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "HTML Basics tutorial for beginners" 5

[Results shown] [1] HTML Tutorial | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... [2] Learn HTML | https://www.w3schools.com/html/

Found 2 URLs Selected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... ✅ Stored for HTML Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Resource Links Dictionary: HTML Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

📋 CSV Preview: Covered Topics | Resource Link HTML Basics | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Writing file...

#### STEP B2.5: RESOURCE LINK POPULATION (SIMPLIFIED)

After completing Step B2 structure, execute this EXACT process:

Simple 3-Step Process Per Topic

For EACH topic:

STEP 1: Search

python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "{topic} tutorial for beginners" 5

STEP 2: Look at output and extract FIRST URL

Scan the output line by line

When you see https:// → copy everything from https:// until the next space

That's your URL

STEP 3: Store it

resource_links["{topic}"] = "the_url_you_found"

Then IMMEDIATELY move to next topic. Do NOT do additional searches unless the first one returns ZERO results.

Hard Limit: 1 Search Per Topic

RULE: Execute ONE search per topic. Extract ONE URL. Move on.

Do NOT:

❌ Execute multiple searches for the same topic

❌ Try to find "better" resources

❌ Analyze quality extensively

❌ Wait or pause

DO:

✅ Search once

✅ Grab first URL

✅ Move to next topic

✅ Complete all topics quickly

Exact Execution Template

Print: "🔍 Resource Research Starting..."
Print: ""
resource_links = {}
topics = [list of all topics from Step B2]
For topic in topics:
    Print: f"Topic: {topic}"
    
    # Execute search (ONE TIME ONLY)
    result = bash_tool(f'python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "{topic} tutorial" 5')
    
    # Extract first URL (simple method)
    url = None
    for line in result.split('\n'):
        if 'https://' in line:
            start = line.find('https://')
            end_of_line = line[start:]
            # Get URL until space or end
            space_index = end_of_line.find(' ')
            if space_index > 0:
                url = end_of_line[:space_index]
            else:
                url = end_of_line.strip()
            break  # Take FIRST URL and stop
    
    if url:
        resource_links[topic] = url
        Print: f"  ✅ {url}"
    else:
        resource_links[topic] = "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED"
        Print: f"  ⚠️ No URL found - marked for manual research"
    
    # IMMEDIATELY continue to next topic
    
Print: ""
Print: "✅ Resource research complete"
Print: f"Collected {len(resource_links)} resource links"
Print: ""

Time Limit

Maximum time for resource research: 2 minutes total

If you're taking longer than 2 minutes for resource collection, you're doing something wrong. This should be fast:

5 seconds per search

2 topics = 10 seconds

10 topics = 50 seconds

What Gets Stored

# Good examples:
resource_links["Python Basics"] = "https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide"
resource_links["HTML Intro"] = "https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_variables.asp"
Acceptable if no URL found:
resource_links["Obscure Topic"] = "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED"
NEVER acceptable:
resource_links["Topic"] = "TBD"  # ❌
resource_links["Topic"] = ""     # ❌

After Collection: Immediate CSV Generation

Do NOT pause or wait. Immediately proceed to CSV generation.

Print: "📄 Generating CSV with collected resources..."
csv_data = []
for topic in curriculum_structure:
    resource_url = resource_links.get(topic, "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED")
    
    csv_row = {
        "Curriculum ID": curriculum_id,
        "File Name": file_name,
        "Target POD Type": pod_type,
        "Clusters": clusters,
        "Content Type": content_type,
        "Covered Topics": topic,
        "Owner": owner,
        "Resource Link": resource_url,  # ← Use collected URL
        "Document Creation Date": date,
        "Last Updated On": date
    }
    csv_data.append(csv_row)
write_csv(csv_data)
Print: "✅ CSV file generated"

Example: Complete 2-Topic Execution

Topics: ["Python Basics", "Python Functions"]

📄 Generating CSV with collected resources...
✅ CSV file generated: Python_Basics_v1.0.csv

Total time: ~15 seconds

No Escalation for "Imperfect" Resources

Accept whatever URL you find in the first search.

Priority is: 1. Speed ✅ 2. Completion ✅ 3. Perfect resources ⚠️ (nice to have, not required)

If the first search returns W3Schools instead of YouTube, that's FINE. Use it and move on.

Escalation Only For Zero Results

Only escalate if:

❌ Search returns absolutely no results

❌ Search returns results but contains ZERO URLs

❌ Search tool completely fails

Do NOT escalate if:

✅ URL is from W3Schools instead of YouTube (still good!)

✅ URL is from a lesser-known educational site (acceptable!)

✅ URL is documentation instead of video (perfectly fine!)

Debug Output (When Requested)

If user requests DEBUG MODE:

[DEBUG] Topic: Python Basics
[DEBUG] Command: python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "Python Basics tutorial" 5
[DEBUG] Results: 5 entries returned
[DEBUG] Extracting URLs...
[DEBUG] Line 1: Contains 'https://datascientest.com/...'
[DEBUG] Extracted: https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide
[DEBUG] Storing: resource_links["Python Basics"] = "https://datascientest.com/..."
[DEBUG] ✅ Complete - moving to next topic

MANDATORY: After Step B2, execute resource collection IMMEDIATELY

After completing Step B2 course structure:
1. DO NOT pause
2. DO NOT ask for confirmation
3. IMMEDIATELY start resource collection
4. Use the Simple 3-Step Process above
5. Complete ALL topics within 2 minutes
6. Then IMMEDIATELY generate CSV
7. Do NOT wait between steps
This should be ONE CONTINUOUS FLOW:
Step B2 → Resource Collection → CSV Generation → Done
No breaks. No pauses. No waiting.

Implementation in Curriculum Generation

After Step B2 (course structure), do this:

Print: "🔍 Starting resource search for all topics..."
Print: ""
Initialize: resource_links = {}
For each topic in curriculum:
    Print: "Topic: {topic}"
    
    # Execute search
    command = f"python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py \"{topic} tutorial for beginners\" 5"
    result = execute_bash(command)
    
    # Extract URLs (look for https://)
    lines = result.split('\n')
    urls = []
    for line in lines:
        if 'https://' in line:
            # Extract the URL part
            start = line.find('https://')
            # Find end (space or newline)
            rest = line[start:]
            space_pos = rest.find(' ')
            if space_pos > 0:
                url = rest[:space_pos]
            else:
                url = rest.strip()
            urls.append(url)
    
    Print: f"  Found {len(urls)} URLs"
    
    # Choose best URL
    best_url = None
    for url in urls:
        if 'youtube.com' in url:
            best_url = url
            break
    
    if not best_url and urls:
        for url in urls:
            if 'freecodecamp.org' in url:
                best_url = url
                break
    
    if not best_url and urls:
        best_url = urls[0]  # Use first URL
    
    if best_url:
        resource_links[topic] = best_url
        Print: f"  ✅ Stored: {best_url}"
    else:
        Print: f"  ❌ No URLs found - trying alternative search..."
        # Try one more time
        alt_command = f"python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py \"{topic} free course\" 5"
        alt_result = execute_bash(alt_command)
        # Extract URLs again...
        # [same extraction logic]
        
        if alt_urls:
            resource_links[topic] = alt_urls[0]
            Print: f"  ✅ Stored: {alt_urls[0]}"
        else:
            ESCALATE(f"No resources found for {topic}")
    
    Print: ""
Print: "✅ Resource collection complete!"
Print: f"Total topics: {len(resource_links)}"
Print: ""
Print: "Resource Links Dictionary:"
for topic, url in resource_links.items():
    Print: f"  {topic}: {url}"

#### STEP B3: Teacher Preparation & Readiness Specify:

Teacher resources required

Teaching methodology (interactive, adaptable)

Teacher readiness evaluation:

- Prior experience - Comfort with computer labs

Whether short training is required (Yes/No + why)

#### STEP B4: Assessments & Feedback Design Define:

Formative assessments (quizzes, projects, assignments)

Summative assessment (final exam/capstone project)

What each assessment measures

#### STEP B5: Continuous Improvement Loop Define:

Feedback sources (teachers, students, assessments)

Review frequency

Criteria for curriculum revision

---

RESOURCE RESEARCH (MANDATORY)

ANTI-STUCK RULE

If resource collection is taking longer than 3 minutes total:

STOP what you're doing and execute this:

Print: "⏱️ Resource collection timeout (3 min exceeded)"
Print: "Completing with available resources..."
For any topic without a resource:
    resource_links[topic] = "MANUAL_RESEARCH_NEEDED"
Proceed immediately to CSV generation

Never get stuck searching indefinitely.

Test Again
Save the file and test:

reload skills

Then:

Create curriculum:

Python basics

2 lessons

1 week

DO NOT GET STUCK. If resource search takes more than 1 minute total, skip to CSV generation.

Show me when you start resource search and when you finish.

What Should Happen
You should see:

🔍 Resource Research Starting...

Topic: Lesson 1 - Python Intro ✅ https://datascientest.com/en/python-variables-beginners-guide

Topic: Lesson 2 - Python Functions ✅ https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_functions.asp

✅ Resource research complete (15 seconds) Collected 2 resource links

📄 Generating CSV... ✅ Done

NOT this:

Topic: Lesson 1 Executing search... [Results] Trying alternative search... [More results] Evaluating quality... [STUCK HERE] ← Never gets to CSV

How to Execute Searches

To search for resources, use this EXACT command:

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "YOUR QUERY HERE" 5

This returns search results with URLs that you must extract.

Simple Search and Extract Process

For EACH topic in the curriculum:

#### Step 1: Execute Search

# Example for "HTML Basics"
python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "HTML basics tutorial for beginners" 5

#### Step 2: Look at the Output

The output looks like this:

[1] Page Title | Year | Type | Site https://example.com/url1
Description text
[2] Another Title | Year | Type | Site https://another.com/url2  
More description

#### Step 3: Extract URLs (Simple Pattern)

Look for any text starting with https://

From the example above, extract:

https://example.com/url1

https://another.com/url2

#### Step 4: Choose Best URL

Priority order: 1. URLs containing youtube.com (first choice) 2. URLs containing freecodecamp.org (second choice) 3. URLs containing w3schools.com (third choice) 4. Any other educational site 5. If none found, use the first URL

#### Step 5: Store the URL

Store in a simple format:

Topic: HTML Basics
Resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Complete Example Workflow

Topic: "Python Lists"

Step 1 - Search:

python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py "Python lists tutorial for beginners" 5

Step 2 - Output Received:

Complete guide to Python lists

Step 3 - Extract URLs:

Found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc

Found: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_lists.asp

Step 4 - Choose Best:

First URL contains "youtube.com" → Select this one

Selected: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc

Step 5 - Store:

resource_links["Python Lists"] = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KRzm-HUcc"

Escalation for Missing Resources

If after searching, a topic has no URL:

🚨 RESOURCE SEARCH FAILED - HUMAN INPUT REQUIRED
Topic: {topic_name}
Search 1: "python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py '{topic} tutorial for beginners' 5"
Result: {number} URLs found
None matched quality criteria
Search 2: "python3 ~/.openclaw/skills/neo-ddg-search/scripts/search.py '{topic} free course' 5"  
Result: {number} URLs found
None matched quality criteria
Issue: Cannot find suitable free educational resources
Options:
1. Modify topic name to be more general
2. Accept lower-quality resource if available
3. Mark for manual research

⚠️ CSV generation paused

OUTPUT GENERATION

PRE-FILE-GENERATION CHECKLIST (MANDATORY)

Before writing ANY output file, you MUST complete this checklist:

Checklist Item 1: Resource Link Verification

STOP and verify:

FOR EACH row in the curriculum data:
    topic = row['Covered Topics']
    resource_link = row['Resource Link']
    
    IF resource_link is empty OR resource_link == "TBD" OR resource_link == "N/A":
        
        PRINT "⚠️ Missing resource link for: {topic}"
        PRINT "🔍 Executing search now..."
        
        # Execute neo-ddg-search immediately
        search_query = f"{topic} tutorial for beginners"
        EXECUTE: neo-ddg-search(search_query)
        
        # Extract URLs from results
        urls = EXTRACT_URLS_FROM_RESULTS()
        
        IF urls found:
            row['Resource Link'] = urls[0]  # Use first result
            PRINT "✅ Found resource: {urls[0]}"
        ELSE:
            # Try alternative search
            search_query_2 = f"{topic} free course"
            EXECUTE: neo-ddg-search(search_query_2)
            urls = EXTRACT_URLS_FROM_RESULTS()
            
            IF urls found:
                row['Resource Link'] = urls[0]
                PRINT "✅ Found resource: {urls[0]}"
            ELSE:
                ESCALATE("Cannot find resources for {topic}")
                STOP_FILE_GENERATION

You MUST see output like:

Checking resource links before file generation...
✅ Row 1 - HTML Basics: Has resource link
✅ Row 2 - CSS Fundamentals: Has resource link  
⚠️ Row 3 - JavaScript: Missing resource link
🔍 Executing search now...
   Using neo-ddg-search: "JavaScript tutorial for beginners"
✅ Found resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
✅ Row 3 - JavaScript: Resource link populated
All rows verified. Proceeding to file generation...

Checklist Item 2: URL Format Validation

Verify all resource links are actual URLs:

FOR EACH resource_link in curriculum:
    IF NOT resource_link.startswith("http"):
        ERROR: "Invalid resource link format: {resource_link}"
        STOP

Checklist Item 3: Final Count

total_topics = COUNT(curriculum rows)
topics_with_resources = COUNT(rows where Resource Link is valid URL)
PRINT "📊 Resource Link Status:"
PRINT "   Total topics: {total_topics}"
PRINT "   With resources: {topics_with_resources}"
PRINT "   Missing: {total_topics - topics_with_resources}"
IF topics_with_resources < total_topics:
    ESCALATE("Some topics still missing resources after search")
    STOP
ELSE:
    PRINT "✅ All topics have resource links. Safe to generate file."

CSV/EXCEL FILE GENERATION - WITH RESOURCE LINKS

Pre-Generation: Build Complete Resource Map

Before writing any file, build a complete resource map:

# Initialize resource map
resource_map = {}
Get all topics from curriculum structure
all_topics = extract_all_topics_from_curriculum()
print(f"\n📚 Building resource map for {len(all_topics)} topics...\n")
For each topic, search and extract URL
for topic in all_topics:
    print(f"🔍 Topic: {topic}")
    
    # Execute search
    search_query = f"{topic} tutorial for beginners"
    print(f"   Searching: {search_query}")
    
    search_results = neo_ddg_search(search_query)
    
    # Extract URLs from results
    urls_found = extract_urls_from_search_result(search_results)
    print(f"   Found {len(urls_found)} URLs")
    
    # Select best URL
    if urls_found:
        best_url = select_best_url(urls_found)
        resource_map[topic] = best_url
        print(f"   ✅ Selected: {best_url}\n")
    else:
        print(f"   ⚠️ No URLs found, trying alternative search...")
        # Try alternative search
        alt_search = neo_ddg_search(f"{topic} free course")
        urls_found_alt = extract_urls_from_search_result(alt_search)
        
        if urls_found_alt:
            best_url = select_best_url(urls_found_alt)
            resource_map[topic] = best_url
            print(f"   ✅ Selected: {best_url}\n")
        else:
            resource_map[topic] = "ESCALATION_NEEDED"
            print(f"   ❌ No resources found - will escalate\n")
Verify all topics have resources
missing_resources = [t for t, url in resource_map.items() if url == "ESCALATION_NEEDED"]
if missing_resources:
    print(f"🚨 {len(missing_resources)} topics need escalation:")
    for topic in missing_resources:
        print(f"   - {topic}")
    ESCALATE("Resource search failed for some topics")
    STOP
else:
    print(f"✅ All {len(all_topics)} topics have resource links!")
    print(f"📝 Proceeding to CSV generation...\n")

CSV Generation with Resource Map

When creating each row in the CSV:

for week_num, lesson in curriculum_structure:
    topic = lesson['topic']
    
    # Get resource link from resource_map
    resource_link = resource_map.get(topic, "ERROR_NO_RESOURCE")
    
    # Verify it's a valid URL
    if not resource_link.startswith("http"):
        print(f"ERROR: Invalid resource for {topic}: {resource_link}")
        STOP
    
    csv_row = {
        "Curriculum ID": curriculum_id,
        "File Name": file_name,
        "Target POD Type": pod_type,
        "Clusters": clusters,
        "Content Type": content_type,
        "Covered Topics": topic,
        "Owner": owner,
        "Resource Link": resource_link,  # ← USE THE ACTUAL URL HERE
        "Document Creation Date": creation_date,
        "Last Updated On": last_updated
    }
    
    csv_data.append(csv_row)

Critical Check Before Writing:

# Final verification
print("\n🔍 Final CSV Data Verification:")
for i, row in enumerate(csv_data):
    resource = row["Resource Link"]
    topic = row["Covered Topics"]
    
    if resource == "TBD" or not resource.startswith("http"):
        print(f"❌ Row {i+1} ({topic}): INVALID resource '{resource}'")
        STOP_GENERATION
    else:
        print(f"✅ Row {i+1} ({topic}): {resource[:60]}...")
print("\n✅ All rows verified - writing file...")
write_csv_file(csv_data)

FILE GENERATION - FINAL RESOURCE CHECK

CRITICAL: Execute this immediately before writing the file:
