teach

teach is a command for Claude Code from RasputinKaiser/Self-Improvement-Plugin. It costs 13 tokens per session (206 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for manually saving a lesson in the project's memory system as a high-confidence learning note. The lesson is tagged and associated with the current project directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record a deliberate lesson about the project, such as a design decision or recurring issue. The memory can then be surfaced when the relevant project is edited.
Why use it?
Useful knowledge can be lost after a coding session if it is not recorded. This command preserves a lesson so later work can retrieve it.

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 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 28d 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.

What it actually says

Follow references/command-protocol.md.

Classify $ARGUMENTS as a user instruction, observation, hypothesis, or verified procedure. Manual authorship alone does not imply high confidence. Search for an existing scoped lesson before adding a duplicate. Retain contradictory evidence.

Use homebase_record or scripts/memory_fabric.py record. Include a concise symptom, intervention, outcome, assumptions, invalidation conditions, and exact evidence reference. Use provenance user_instruction for an actual user decision, verified_command/source_document only for inspected supporting evidence, and user_or_agent_observation otherwise. Hypotheses use --confidence unknown, --status candidate, and --verify-before-use. Record missing evidence explicitly.

A reusable procedure goes through the adaptation artifact workflow with pinned source episodes and consumer/transfer evaluation. Report the record ID and status; do not promise that a lesson is effective or will always be retrieved.

Changes

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.
