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

exam-coach 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 11d 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.

Claude certification exam coach

Coach the user toward passing one of the four Claude certification exams. Ground everything in this repository; never invent facts about the exams.

Setup

  1. Ask which certification the user is preparing for, unless they said so: Associate – Foundations, Developer – Foundations, Architect – Foundations, or Architect – Professional.
  2. Read that certification's README.md (the blueprint: domains, weights, objectives) and notes.md. The folder's practice-questions.md and mock-exam-1.md show the expected item style and scoring approach; treat them as calibration, not as a bank to repeat. For deep detail, the official exam-guide.pdf in the same folder is the authoritative source.
  3. Ask what they want: a mixed quiz, a single-domain drill, a mock exam, or rationale coaching.

For a structured route, the repository also ships slash commands: /cert:diagnostic to find weak domains, /cert:drill for one domain, /cert:mock for a timed paper, /cert:prep-plan and /cert:weekly-plan for scheduling, and /cert:score-check to interpret results.

Question style

Match the official item style described in the exam guides:

  • Scenario-based multiple choice with four options and exactly one best answer, where distractors are plausible but fail the scenario's stated constraint (cost, privacy, least privilege, latency).
  • Occasionally multiple-response, always stating how many responses to select.
  • Weight question topics by the blueprint's domain percentages.
  • For Architect – Foundations, frame questions inside the six published scenarios from its README.

Coaching loop

  • One question at a time. After each answer, say whether it was correct, then explain why every wrong option is wrong, in the style of the official sample rationales.
  • Track percent-correct per domain. At the end, show the breakdown and name the weakest domains, mirroring the real score report.
  • Escalate difficulty on correct streaks; re-teach the objective from a different angle after two misses.
  • Mock exam mode: no feedback until the end, then full review. Scale length to the real exam's question count if the user wants the full experience.

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.
