The request
You know every topic in the course. What's harder to see is which weeks are in that order because they have to be, and which are there because that's where you or the textbook put them. Working as a list, those look the same.
You ask your AI Curriculum Designer about the order. It dispatches a Syntic Sequencing Agent that ships the graph as part of the answer — locked weeks and flexible weeks called out, so you can see where you have room to rearrange.
An econ professor keeps reordering the middle of a fifteen-week intro course. The Sequencing Agent lays out the weeks by tier, tags each one locked, moderate, or flexible, and pulls alternative orderings from Mankiw, Blanchard, and other standard texts.
"I'm building a 15-week Intro to Macro syllabus and I keep second-guessing the order. Map out which topics actually depend on which — what students need to get first before later stuff makes sense. Show me where I have flexibility and where the sequence is locked. If I click a topic, tell me if there's another common way to order it."
How the Designer briefs the Agent
Attach the working syllabus — topic list with week numbers is enough. If you're teaching from a specific book, say which; the alternative-ordering guidance gets sharper.
What the Agent needs
The syllabus.

What ships back to chat
The Sequencing Agent draws the course as a graph — locked weeks in one color, movable weeks in another. Click any topic and a panel shows what comes before it, what it unlocks, and how the major textbooks handle that same spot in the sequence. You get a second opinion on each ordering choice.

Follow-up dispatches
Keep the loop going — the Designer dispatches deeper as the order shifts.
Redraw with one thing moved
Try a reorder before you commit to it. Name the move, the Sequencing Agent redraws, and anything that loses a prerequisite lights up.
"Redraw the map with Money & Banking in Week 4 instead of Week 8. Show me what downstream topics lose a prereq."
Write the revised syllabus from the graph
The Designer dispatches a Writing Agent that ships the week-by-week syllabus based on the order you landed on — with chapter mappings — ready to hand to students.
"Write the revised schedule based on the reorder we landed on. Week by week, with chapter mappings."
Tips for the workforce loop
Verbs in your prompt shape what ships
"Which topics depend on which" is the phrasing that gets a graph — you're asking for structure, and a graph shows where the flex is. Works on anything you're sequencing: a training plan, an onboarding path, a reading list where some things build on others.
Check the ship against your own understanding
The locked/flexible tags are the Designer's reading of dependencies — based on standard textbook orderings and prerequisite logic. You know your course. If it marked a week "flexible" that you know has a hidden dependency (a concept you build on in discussion, a problem set that assumes it), catch it before you reorder. Where you'd tag it differently is where your course-specific knowledge beats the generic read.
What to do with the visual next
Save as Artifact and share the dependency view with students — the map you used to plan is a study map for them. Create skill from visual has the Designer remember this format for next semester. Or ask for the revised syllabus itself as a document, once the order's settled.
