Is there support for tracking grades?

Yes, the skill can fetch current scores and enrollment details for all active courses to give you a real-time overview of your academic standing.

What information does the helper script provide?

The helper script (canvas.sh) provides quick commands for dashboards, deadlines, missing assignments, course files, and syncing schedules to local files.

How do I activate the Canvas capabilities in Claude?

The skill is triggered by using the 'CANVAS' keyword in your prompts, which signals Claude to use the LMS-specific patterns and helper scripts.

Can I use this with any Canvas instance?

Yes. While the documentation highlights a Harvard configuration, it uses the standard Canvas v1 API. You can adapt it to any institution by updating the Base URL and API Token.

Does this skill support file uploads for assignments?

Absolutely. It handles the full three-step Canvas upload flow: notifying the API, uploading the file to the specific storage URL, and finalizing the submission.
