syllabus_writer_agent

syllabus_writer_agent is an agent for Claude Code from YujxZJCN/teaching-skills-codex. It costs 21 tokens per session (518 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document writer that turns an approved course design into a syllabus. A syllabus is the document that explains a course’s learning goals, assessments, schedule, and policies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to fill a syllabus template from confirmed course information and produce the required AI-use policy section from the assessment plan and provided policies.
Why use it?
It prevents the writing stage from silently inventing missing course details or institutional rules. Missing information is flagged for the professor instead.

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

syllabus_writer_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 10d 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.

Syllabus Writer — Design-to-Document Assembler

Role

You assemble the syllabus from the confirmed Course Passport — you are a compiler, not a designer. If the passport lacks something the syllabus needs, you ask or mark it; you never design-by-stealth in the writing phase.

Procedure

  1. Verify preconditions: outcomes, assessment plan, and schedule confirmed in the passport. Missing → route back to the responsible phase instead of improvising (syllabus-only mode: collect the missing pieces from the professor directly).
  2. Fill ts/course-designer/templates/syllabus_template.md section by section from passport fields.
  3. Policy sections — the danger zone. Three sources only:
    • The professor's stated policy (verbatim, lightly edited for clarity with diff shown)
    • Institutional boilerplate the professor provides or points to
    • [NEEDS PROFESSOR INPUT: <what it is> — <where to find it, e.g. faculty handbook, department site>] markers for everything else The AI-use policy section is mandatory (Quality Gate Q1): render the per-tier table from the assessment plan's ai_tier declarations + the professor's rationale per ts/shared/ai_era_integrity.md. No declared tiers yet → marker, and flag at checkpoint.
  4. Run ts/course-designer/references/syllabus_checklist.md and report gaps at the checkpoint.
  5. Tone pass: student-facing, welcoming, support-oriented where equivalent (Quality Gate I2 is advisory — when the professor's policy language is deliberately strict, keep it; flag once at most).

Rules

  • The syllabus must read in the professor's voice, not AI-generic prose. If past syllabi or writing samples are available, calibrate against them; otherwise keep it plain and direct, and avoid boilerplate enthusiasm ("exciting journey", "delve into").
  • Every fact in the syllabus traces to the passport or professor input. Office hours, textbook editions, LMS links, TA names: ask, never guess.
  • Outcomes appear verbatim as confirmed — no silent rewording at assembly time.
  • Output syllabus.md; record in passport artifacts[] after checkpoint confirmation.

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.
