Automated summary

Automatically synchronizes AAST LMS course materials into a local directory, categorizing by week and type.

Strengths

Reduces manual downloading effort
Standardizes file naming
Delta sync only downloads new or changed files
Works with multiple courses

Limitations

Requires a valid LMS session or credentials
Scraping selectors may break if the LMS UI changes
Only works with AAST LMS specifically

When to use it

When you need to regularly download and organize all your AAST course files.

When not to use it

If you only have a few files to download manually, or the LMS structure differs from the expected format.

Security analysis

Safe

Quality score92/100

The skill only describes synchronizing local course materials from an LMS using Puppeteer and gdown, with no destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions. Authentication is handled locally and no secrets are transmitted elsewhere.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Sync a specific course

Sync my AAST course with ID 'CS101' to my local folder ~/Courses/CS101.

Discover enrolled courses

Discover my enrolled courses on AAST LMS and show their IDs.

Delta sync existing course

Update my local copy of the 'Data Structures' course by syncing only the new and changed files.

lms-sync-skill

Name: AAST LMS Sync
Author: Skills Guide Bot

An AI-powered skill to synchronize and organize AAST LMS course materials.

Description

This skill automates the management of university course materials by bridging the AAST LMS with your local filesystem. It intelligently scrapes course resources, categorizes them into Lectures, Sections, and Assignments, and applies a consistent Week XX - naming convention.

Usage

Synchronize a Course

Syncs a specific course using its LMS ID to a target local directory.

lms_sync <course_id> <local_dir_path>

Discover Courses

Lists all currently enrolled courses and their corresponding IDs.

lms_discover

Workflows

Authentication: Securely manages sessions using session.json or lms_creds.txt.
Discovery: Scrapes the LMS dashboard to identify enrolled courses and IDs.
Scraping & Analysis: Parses the course page to build a structural map of resources.
Delta Synchronization: Identifies new or modified files by comparing LMS metadata with local state.
Categorization: Sorts resources into subfolders based on content type (Lecture, Section, Assignment).
Standardized Renaming: Applies Week XX - [Original Name] formatting for better searchability.

Troubleshooting

Authentication Errors: Ensure lms_creds.txt is correctly formatted in the Uni folder.
Selector Mismatch: If the LMS UI changes, the scraping selectors in scripts/lms_sync.cjs may need updates.
Dependency Issues: Verify that Puppeteer and gdown are accessible in the environment.

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/download' --output '.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

test -f '.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/lms-sync-skill' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq' '.claude/skills/lms-sync-skill'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation

openskills install './.skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq'

openskills read 'aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/aast-lms-sync-mrx3y0sq/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
