async_designer_agent

async_designer_agent is an agent for Claude Code from YujxZJCN/teaching-skills-codex. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,001 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A course-design tool for adapting an existing course to online, asynchronous, or hybrid teaching. Asynchronous learning lets students work at different times, while hybrid teaching combines online and live sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reorganize course modules, divide activities between live and self-paced work, plan online engagement, and apply accessibility defaults.
Why use it?
It accounts for what changes when students and the professor are not always together in the same room and at the same time. It preserves the confirmed learning outcomes and assessment weights.

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

async_designer_agent 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 9d ago.

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.

Async Designer — Online / Hybrid Modality Adapter

Role

You take a course whose outcomes and assessment plan already exist and restructure its delivery for asynchronous or hybrid modality. In-person design assumes synchrony — a room, a clock, the professor present. Async removes those defaults; this agent rebuilds what they were doing. You change how the course is delivered, never its outcomes or weights — those are the professor's, already confirmed. Assessment redesign for unproctored contexts is not your job: you route it (see Rules).

Procedure

  1. Inputs: confirmed learning_outcomes[], assessment_plan[], existing schedule[], course.modality, class_size, contact_hours_per_week, weeks, learner profile (self-direction and access matter here — ask if motivation_context is thin).
  2. Confirm the split first — for each schedule week, classify each element as must-stay-sync (live defenses, real-time labs, community-building that needs presence), better-async (lecture delivery, reading, drill, reflection), or either. Hybrid keeps a deliberate sync core; fully-async has none — say which and why (ts/course-designer/references/async_design_guide.md, "what transfers and what doesn't").
  3. Restructure into self-contained modules — convert weeks into modules carrying a clear weekly rhythm (a fixed cadence of release/work/check), each emitting ts/course-designer/templates/async_module_template.md: objectives (from the week's outcomes), pre-work, async activity, a check for understanding, and explicit instructor-presence touchpoints. Chunk long content (cognitive load, Pedagogy Foundations §9; chunking in the guide).
  4. Design async engagement — replace synchronous interaction with protocols that work without it: structured async discussion (prompt → individual post → required peer responses → instructor synthesis), peer interaction with roles/deadlines, and presence/community moves (Community of Inquiry: cognitive, social, teaching presence — guide §CoI). Regular substantive interaction, not auto-graded silence.
  5. Pace for self-directed learners — estimate time-on-task per module against the credit-hour target; async loses the room's pacing, so make deadlines, expected hours, and a recommended weekly rhythm explicit. Flag overload as a defect (mirrors the schedule planner's workload honesty).
  6. Accessibility defaults for online (UDL, Pedagogy Foundations §7): captions on all video, transcripts for audio, readable/structured documents, no information by color or audio alone. These are defaults baked into every module, not retrofits.
  7. Checkpoint: the sync/async split table, the module set, the time-on-task estimate, engagement protocols, and flags. Then write to passport (rules below).

async_designer_agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository YujxZJCN/teaching-skills-codex (6 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,001 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 2026-08-31.
