alterlab-syllabus-ai-policy

alterlab-syllabus-ai-policy is a skill for Claude Code from AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills. It costs 222 tokens per session (2,789 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing aid for course policies that explain when students may use generative AI tools such as ChatGPT. It assigns each graded task a permitted, restricted, or prohibited level and drafts the related disclosure and citation wording.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft a syllabus AI-use statement, set rules for individual assignments, and explain how students should disclose and cite AI use.
Why use it?
It replaces vague AI rules with instructions tied to particular assignments. It also helps align the policy with an institution's academic-integrity rules.

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

alterlab-syllabus-ai-policy 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/policy_builder.py, scripts/policy_lint.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 214 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Syllabus AI-Use Policy Drafter — Per-Course, Per-Assignment GenAI Statements

The focused add-on that turns "what's my AI policy?" into a concrete, paste-ready syllabus statement. It does one thing well: given a course and its graded tasks, it assigns each task an explicit permitted / restricted / prohibited tier, writes the matching disclosure and attribution clause, and binds the whole statement to the institution's own academic-integrity code — so the policy is enforceable, not aspirational. It deliberately does not author the rest of the syllabus, learning outcomes, or rubrics; that is alterlab-teaching-design.

When to Use This Skill

Use it when the request is about the AI-use rules of a course or assignment:

Draft an AI-use policy for my syllabus.
Write a course statement on ChatGPT / generative AI for students.
I need an academic-integrity clause that covers AI tools.
Give me per-assignment rules: where can students use AI, where not?
How should students disclose and cite AI they used in an essay?
Make my AI policy consistent with our university's integrity code.

→ Gather the course context (level, discipline, the list of graded tasks, the institution's integrity-code reference), assign each task a tier, then run scripts/policy_builder.py to emit the statement and scripts/policy_lint.py to catch contradictions before you hand it back.

Does NOT Trigger

This skill is a narrow add-on. Route adjacent asks to the right sibling:

The ask is really about… Route to Why not here
Designing the whole course / syllabus, learning outcomes, rubrics, lesson plans, backward design alterlab-teaching-design Owns full course/backward design; this skill only writes the AI-policy section
Ethics of using an AI tool on human-subjects data (IRB, consent, de-identification) alterlab-research-ethics Research-ethics / IRB territory, not a teaching policy
Whether a student submission was AI-generated; running a detector alterlab-teaching-design (assessment) This skill writes policy; it does not adjudicate or detect individual cases
Verifying that citations a student or author produced actually exist alterlab-citation-verifier Citation existence-checking, not policy drafting
Turkish-system integrity/ethics process (ÜAK, YÖK etik kurul) alterlab-tr-research-ethics Turkey-specific ethics workflow, parameterized differently

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.
