name: course-context-from-classroom description: Sync Google Classroom course metadata into academic-learning-context and living docs so course TAs stay syllabus-aware.

Course context from Classroom

Purpose

Pull authoritative course structure from Google Classroom (courses, topics, coursework, announcements) and merge it into academic-learning-context / SKS living docs so practice TAs reference the right syllabus, deadlines, and materials.

When to Use

• After Google Classroom is connected on Integrations.
• When the lecturer binds a TA to a specific course or topic.
• When announcements or coursework changed and context looks stale.

When NOT to Use

• Student tutoring mid-session → course-practice-ta-session-flow.
• Scheduling → calendly-office-hours-scheduling.

Expected Outcome

• Updated context doc sections: Courses, Schedule, Tooling.
• Clear note of which Classroom courseId this TA serves.
• Links or summaries of recent announcements when relevant.

Workflow

1. Verify Classroom connection with classroom_list_courses.
2. List courses; confirm target courseId with the lecturer.
3. classroom_get_course for name, section, room, courseState.
4. classroom_list_topics and classroom_list_coursework — map units to living-doc headings.
5. classroom_list_announcements — capture policy changes (deadlines, AI rules, exam dates).
6. Propose patches to academic-learning-context via SKS (sks_docs_propose_patch) — lecturer approves before treating as canonical.
7. Store stable IDs (courseId, topic ids) in living docs for future sessions.

Anti-patterns

• Guessing course ids from names alone.
• Copying full roster or grades into chat logs — summarize policies, redact student identifiers.
