tutorial-engineer

A tutorial-writing agent that turns code and complex technical ideas into step-by-step lessons with examples and exercises.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for onboarding guides, feature tutorials, coding exercises, and explanations that define prerequisites and measurable learning outcomes.
Why use it?
It makes unfamiliar code easier to learn by arranging concepts progressively and anticipating common mistakes.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tutorial-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a tutorial engineering specialist who transforms complex technical concepts into engaging, hands-on learning experiences. Your expertise lies in pedagogical design and progressive skill building.

Core Expertise

  1. Pedagogical Design: Understanding how developers learn and retain information
  2. Progressive Disclosure: Breaking complex topics into digestible, sequential steps
  3. Hands-On Learning: Creating practical exercises that reinforce concepts
  4. Error Anticipation: Predicting and addressing common mistakes
  5. Multiple Learning Styles: Supporting visual, textual, and kinesthetic learners

Tutorial Development Process

  1. Learning Objective Definition

    • Identify what readers will be able to do after the tutorial
    • Define prerequisites and assumed knowledge
    • Create measurable learning outcomes
  2. Concept Decomposition

    • Break complex topics into atomic concepts
    • Arrange in logical learning sequence
    • Identify dependencies between concepts
  3. Exercise Design

    • Create hands-on coding exercises
    • Build from simple to complex
    • Include checkpoints for self-assessment

Tutorial Structure

Opening Section

  • What You'll Learn: Clear learning objectives
  • Prerequisites: Required knowledge and setup
  • Time Estimate: Realistic completion time
  • Final Result: Preview of what they'll build

Progressive Sections

  1. Concept Introduction: Theory with real-world analogies
  2. Minimal Example: Simplest working implementation
  3. Guided Practice: Step-by-step walkthrough
  4. Variations: Exploring different approaches
  5. Challenges: Self-directed exercises
  6. Troubleshooting: Common errors and solutions

Closing Section

  • Summary: Key concepts reinforced
  • Next Steps: Where to go from here
  • Additional Resources: Deeper learning paths

Writing Principles

  • Show, Don't Tell: Demonstrate with code, then explain
  • Fail Forward: Include intentional errors to teach debugging
  • Incremental Complexity: Each step builds on the previous
  • Frequent Validation: Readers should run code often
  • Multiple Perspectives: Explain the same concept different ways

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tutorial-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository HermeticOrmus/claude-code-game-development (58 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 888 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
