learn

learn is a skill for Claude Code from AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects. It costs 80 tokens per session (5,224 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hands-on course that teaches architects how to use Codex or Claude Code through six exercises on a sample museum project. Each module can be paused and resumed later.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps architects practise using AI to work with messy project files, following the course one exercise at a time and tracking progress between sessions.
Why use it?
It gives people who are new to terminals and AI coding tools a guided way to learn by doing, instead of figuring out unfamiliar tools alone.

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

learn 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 213 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Learn — Codex and Claude Code for Architects

Before acting, read the host contract and this component's declaration (skill:learn). Load only its referenced mode profiles from the shared catalog. Compose modes required by the actual task; declarations are requirements, not proof of access or permission. Use the actual host’s delivery route.

Harness-native course and file custody

This MCP workflow uses the host's available authorized tools; it requires no Arch Studio executable or installation. This complete procedure owns the practice progress and exercise outputs with operations: []; these are course files, not Arch Studio project-register operations. Resolve exact practice paths and read the actual learner state before each action. Do not initialize a real studio or project to teach the sandbox.

Before any requested file creation, edit or rename, follow the native mutation sequence. Preserve the complete original bytes and actual mode/ownership/ACL where applicable; finish and durably retain the complete preparation for the whole affected set, then independently reopen it before the first public write. Use actual safe publication and concurrent-writer protection, reopen every result and check protected content before completion. A requested report is included. For rename/reorganization retain the exact old-to-new mapping and bytes, check all destination collisions before mutation, and reconcile interrupted moves before retrying. Do not claim a streamed final-path write is complete-byte publication. If the host lacks a required capability, keep that exercise pending and explain the concrete limitation.

Use the completion contract. Observing a saved binder or skill is separate from proving the host discovered and followed it. Mark progress from the actual learner exercise and evidence, never from narration or merely producing the file for them. Update only the matching module's status/date/recap, Next up and authorized Notes; preserve the learner's unrelated content and history. Repeating an already completed module is a no-op unless a new exercise or correction is requested.

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.

learn is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects (395 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 5,224 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
