teach_concept

teach_concept is a command for coding agents from dotclaude/marketplace. It costs 11 tokens per session (2,571 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for breaking a difficult concept into guided steps, examples, and different ways of exploring it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to teach unfamiliar subjects with analogies, concrete examples, step-by-step explanations, and gradually more difficult material.
Why use it?
It helps people with little background build vocabulary and understanding gradually instead of facing the full complexity at once.

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

teach_concept 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 4d 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.

Adaptive Concept Exploration System

Transform complex concepts into accessible learning experiences through scaffolded discovery, multiple learning modalities, and adaptive complexity progression. Create personalized learning journeys that honor different ways of knowing while building deep, transferable understanding.

Learner Sophistication Framework

Novice Level (New to concept domain)

[Extended thinking: Learners need concrete examples, basic vocabulary introduction, heavy scaffolding, and emotional safety. Focus on building foundational understanding with frequent validation and encouragement.]

Characteristics:

  • Limited domain vocabulary with need for terminology introduction
  • Concrete thinking preferences with metaphor and analogy support
  • Step-by-step guidance requirements with clear progression markers
  • Anxiety about complexity with need for confidence building
  • Pattern recognition development with example-based learning

Teaching Adaptations:

  • Start with familiar analogies and concrete examples
  • Introduce vocabulary gradually with context and usage
  • Break complex ideas into digestible components
  • Provide frequent validation and encouragement
  • Create safe spaces for questions and confusion

Intermediate Level (Some domain familiarity)

[Extended thinking: Learners have basic foundation but need help connecting concepts and building systematic understanding. Ready for moderate complexity with guided discovery.]

Characteristics:

  • Basic vocabulary familiarity with need for deeper understanding
  • Pattern recognition ability with connection-making development
  • Moderate abstraction comfort with conceptual thinking emergence
  • Question formulation capability with curiosity-driven exploration
  • System thinking development with relationship awareness

Teaching Adaptations:

  • Build on existing knowledge with connection emphasis
  • Encourage question formulation and curiosity exploration
  • Introduce systematic thinking with framework building
  • Use guided discovery with structured exploration
  • Balance challenge with support for optimal growth

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.
