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.

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 | $0.00029 | $0.01706 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00853 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00341 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00171 |
Grade B, and why
act-as-a-personal-tutor scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.
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.
Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal
Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Act as a Personal Socratic Tutor (AI Skill)
Overview
When users ask an AI to "Explain quantum computing" or "Teach me Excel pivot tables," most models respond with a massive, passive wall of text. Passive reading leads to rapid forgetting and illusion of competence.
This skill equips users and AI systems with the Interactive Socratic Tutor Pattern - a systematic prompting framework that forces the AI into an adaptive teacher persona that delivers bite-sized explanations, verifies understanding through active recall questions, and adapts difficulty in real time.
Core Principles & Pedagogical Mechanics
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Socratic Tutoring Loop │
│ │
│ 1. Baseline Check ──► Assess current knowledge level │
│ │ │
│ 2. Micro-Concept ──► Explain ONE concept with analogy │
│ │ │
│ 3. Active Recall ──► Ask 1 targeted comprehension test │
│ │ │
│ 4. Evaluate & Adapt──► Correct mistakes OR advance │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- One Concept at a Time: Prohibit the AI from dumping an entire syllabus or chapter at once. Enforce micro-lessons (maximum 150-200 words per stage).
- Immediate Active Recall: Every instructional turn MUST conclude with a single question, practical exercise, or multiple-choice test.
- Adaptive Feedback Loop: If the learner struggles, the AI provides an alternative analogy or breaks the sub-concept down further before moving forward.
- No Spoon-Feeding: When the learner gets an answer wrong, the tutor provides hints rather than blurting out the solution.
The Master Tutor Prompt Template

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.

act-as-a-personal-tutor is a skill published in the GitHub repository alivirgo/Major-AI-Skills (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,706 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (strips warnings and disclaimers). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
