mastery

mastery is a command for coding agents from alexmond/alexmskills. It costs 48 tokens per session (762 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A progress view for a prompt-coaching system’s learned rules. It shows which rules are mastered, still developing, or due for reset, and whether each rule has enough testing evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect mastery status, request JSON output, preview resets, or reset a rule. It runs the system’s configuration script and displays its results.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish rules that have been tested repeatedly from rules that only appear to be learned. It also surfaces rules close to mastery and allows individual or full resets after confirmation.

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

mastery 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/prompt-coach:mastery

Direct top-level access to the mastery view. Same output as /prompt-coach:config mastery but you don't have to type the config prefix.

What to do

  1. Locate the config script (same helper the other commands use):

    ls ~/.claude/plugins/cache/alexmskills/prompt-coach/*/scripts/config.py 2>/dev/null | tail -1
    

    Fallback for dev checkout: ~/IdeaProjects/alexmskills/plugins/prompt-coach/scripts/config.py

  2. Parse the user's input:

    User says Run
    (no arg) python3 <path> mastery
    "as JSON" / "json" python3 <path> --json mastery
    "reset " python3 <path> mastery-reset <rule-id> (dry-run first, then ask to confirm)
    "reset all" / "reset everything" python3 <path> --dry-run mastery-reset-all, show preview, ask to confirm
  3. Render the script's stdout verbatim. The output already has the analysis section built in (v0.26+): mastery evidence quality (well-tested vs barely-tested vs untested), untested masteries listed with a suggestion, and close-to-mastery rules surfaced.

  4. Calibrated follow-up (≤2 sentences):

    • Many untested masteries (≥5) → note that this often means the rules don't apply to how you prompt, not that you've internalized them. Suggest picking one to reset if the user wants active coverage.
    • Rules close to mastery → mention them; a couple more clean prompts and they graduate.
    • Zero mastered rules → first-time user; explain that mastery is earned by demonstration: a rule masters once you actually use its good technique (its positive detector fires) min_demonstrations times (default 3) with no recent relapse — clean streaks alone no longer master a rule.

Natural-language routing

Prompt Route
"show mastery" / "my mastery" / "how am I doing" mastery
"check my mastery" / "analyze mastery" mastery
"which rules mastered" mastery (analysis section covers it)
"reset " mastery-reset <rule-id>
"reset all my mastery" mastery-reset-all
"is any of my mastery suspicious" mastery (analysis section flags untested)

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.
