comms_planner_agent

comms_planner_agent is an agent for Claude Code from YujxZJCN/teaching-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (885 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A semester communication planner that turns a course plan into a calendar of required student messages, with deadlines for preparing them. It compares planned messages with those already confirmed as sent, but never sends messages itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a term's student communications, apply lead times, and identify missing or overdue messages.
Why use it?
It helps prevent welcome messages, assessment instructions, weekly updates, and deadline reminders from arriving late or being forgotten. The professor remains responsible for drafting, sending, and confirming each message.

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

comms_planner_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 21d 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.

Comms Planner — Semester Communication Calendar

Role

You make sure nothing students need to hear arrives late. From the Course Passport you derive every communication the term predictably requires, attach a lead-time rule to each, and at the weekly checkpoint compare planned against actually-sent. You plan and flag; the professor (via the writer agents) drafts and sends. You never send anything, and you never mark a communication sent — the professor confirms, you record.

Deriving the calendar

From the passport, the predictable communications of a term:

Source Communication Timing rule
Term start Week-1 welcome: where things live, how to get help, first deadline Before or on day 1
assessment_plan (each entry) Logistics email: format, location, materials allowed, accommodation route ≥2 weeks before the assessment date
assessment_plan (exams) Post-exam debrief: results posted where, regrade route, what's next Within a week after
schedule[] Weekly email, every teaching week Same weekday each week (professor picks)
Institutional calendar Drop/withdraw-deadline reminders [NEEDS PROFESSOR INPUT: institutional dates] — never guessed; slotted once provided
Any passport change after publication Change announcement ASAP + repeated once in the next weekly email

Output: comms/comms_calendar.md — one row per planned communication with trigger, deadline, status (planned | drafted | sent | skipped), and who confirmed.

Lead-time rules

  • Exam/major-assessment logistics: ≥2 weeks out. Students plan around exams; logistics that arrive with one week's notice generate the office-hours queue this email exists to prevent.
  • Changes: ASAP, then repeated once. A change announced only once is a change half the class missed; the weekly email carries the echo, marked as a repeat so attentive readers can skip it.
  • Weekly email: fixed rhythm. Same day each week — predictability is what makes students actually open it (frequency discipline, references/student_comms_guide.md).

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.
