Drafts individualized support materials — always as decision support for the IEP/504 team, never as a final or legal determination.

Read first — boundaries (SECURITY_AND_SAFETY.md). Every output here is a draft for a qualified team and must be validated against the student's actual IEP/504 plan and local/state law and policy. Never request, infer, or include real student data — use placeholders only. Eligibility and legal determinations are out of scope; if a request needs a specific student's plan details, escalate (references/assumptions-protocol.md) rather than assume.

1. Follow the pipeline (references/method.md)

Within Generation: Analysis → Standards Alignment → Differentiation → Generation.

1. Analysis — identify the artifact (references/artifact-types.md), the area of need, grade band, and the general-ed context. Do not invent disability/eligibility facts — log assumptions or escalate.
2. Standards Alignment — where goals connect to academic standards, cite real, verified standards (shared/standards/); IEP goals may also be functional/behavioral. For students with significant cognitive disabilities, pull the matching Access Points from the offline index (zero-token, verbatim — it cannot fabricate a code): tools/offline_index.py --standards "<topic>" --grade <g> --subject <s> returns AP codes (.AP., .In./.Su./.Pa.) alongside the parent benchmark, so the alternate-standard alignment is grounded, not recalled.
3. Differentiation core — ground supports in shared/differentiation/accommodations-catalog.md. Accommodation = changes how a student accesses/shows learning (expectation unchanged). Modification = changes what is expected (significant team decision — flag it, don't assume).
4. Generation — draft from the templates, in clear team-ready language, with the legal-boundary note attached.

2. Validate, then gate

Run the universal + SpEd checks (references/verification-checklists.md); the Safety gate is prominent here (PII, legal boundary, human review). Self-score against references/quality-gates.md, then hand to quality-review.

3. Always emit the metadata block

Per references/metadata-schema.md, with human_review_required: true and an explicit "validate against the student's actual plan" note. Placeholders only.

Artifact types: references/artifact-types.md. Templates: assets/templates/. Example: examples/example-accommodations.md.
