Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00112 | $0.03496 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00056 | $0.01748 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00699 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00350 |
Grade A, and why
how-to-tutorial-writer 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 350 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
How-To Tutorial Writer
Write practical, step-by-step tutorial blog posts that solve a real reader problem and naturally recommend affiliate products as the best tool for the job. Uses the "problem → solution → tool" pattern: establish what the reader wants to do, show them exactly how to do it, and position the affiliate product as the right instrument for each step.
When to Use
- User wants to create educational content that drives affiliate conversions indirectly
- User says "how to", "tutorial", "guide", "walkthrough", "step by step"
- User wants to rank for "how to [task]" keywords (high traffic, lower competition than "best" keywords)
- User has a product that is best understood through demonstration, not just description
- User wants to build authority and trust in a niche before making a sale
Workflow
Step 1: Define the Tutorial Goal
Parse the request to identify:
- The task: what the reader wants to accomplish (e.g., "create AI videos for YouTube")
- The tool: which affiliate product enables the task (e.g., HeyGen)
- The audience: who is asking this question (beginner / intermediate / advanced)
- The end state: what the reader will have built or achieved by the end
If the task is vague ("write a tutorial about HeyGen"), default to the most popular use case for that tool — search for it: "[product name] tutorial" OR "how to use [product name]" — pick the highest-traffic query.
Tutorial types — detect from user's phrasing:
| Signal | Type | Format |
|---|---|---|
| "How to get started", "beginners guide", "first time" | quickstart |
5-8 steps, 1,500-2,000 words |
| "Step by step", "complete guide", "full tutorial" | deep-dive |
8-15 steps, 2,500-3,500 words |
| "How to [specific feature]" | feature-focus |
5-8 steps on one feature, 1,500-2,000 words |
| "How to [goal] without [product]" → redirect to product | problem-solution |
6-10 steps, 2,000-2,500 words |
Step 2: Research the Tutorial Content
Use web_search to gather:
- The actual step-by-step process for accomplishing the task
- Common mistakes or gotchas beginners encounter
- Official documentation or help articles for the product
- What the top-ranking tutorials already cover (identify gaps)
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
