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

hahow-mentor-agent CLAUDE.md 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 9d 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.

Hahow Mentor Agent — project notes for Claude

Python CLI for triaging Hahow course discussions and homework. Mentor identity comes from .env (ID / PASSWORD). Drafter persona and locale strings come from config.toml (gitignored; falls back to config.example.toml). All commands run with uv.

Personal workflow notes, environment-specific gotchas, and "do not repeat these mistakes" lore live in CLAUDE.local.md (gitignored). Read that file first if it exists in your working tree.

Auto-relay: hahow-watcher channel (research preview)

For a long-running session that should react to new questions automatically:

make start-with-channels
# → claude --dangerously-load-development-channels server:hahow-watcher \
#          --dangerously-skip-permissions

channels/hahow-watcher/hahow-watcher.ts is an MCP channel server (Bun + @modelcontextprotocol/sdk) that:

  • Runs make refresh every HAHOW_POLL_MINUTES (default 60).
  • Diffs build/unread.json against ~/.hahow-mentor/drafts/ and posted.log.
  • For each tick that finds new ids, emits notifications/claude/channel with meta count=<N> courses=<title=N,title=N> and a summary body listing up to 10 ids + course + title + image-attachment count.
  • Channel is one-way. Replies happen via the regular make post-all flow after the mentor audits drafts.

When Claude sees a <channel source="hahow-watcher" count="N" ...> tag, invoke the batch-draft-hahow skill. Drafts only — never call make post-all automatically.

Smoke-test the poll loop without Claude: make poll-channel-once.

Routine: batch-draft outstanding student questions

On phrases like "batch draft", "draft 全部還沒回的", "處理一輪 Q&A", invoke the local skill batch-draft-hahow (in .claude/skills/). It encodes the full workflow. Short version:

  1. make refresh — snapshots unread+unresolved into build/unread.json and downloads every attached image to ~/.hahow-mentor/audits/discussion-<id>/.
  2. For each question with attached images, use the Read tool on the downloaded PNG(s) directly, then write a one-sentence description per id into build/image_notes.json.
  3. For technical questions, batch WebSearch in parallel (≤5 per message). Paste a short summary per id into build/web_findings.json. Skip WebSearch for trivial / meta questions.
  4. make draft — runs codex against every question that does not already have a draft. Output → ~/.hahow-mentor/drafts/<id>.md.
  5. make status — prints which questions have drafts, ages, posted-flag.
  6. Report a table to the mentor. Never post automatically.

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.
