beginner

beginner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Andamio-Platform/coach. It costs 20 tokens per session (627 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation-based learning guide for introducing someone to a new subject. It shapes a learning path through questions, examples, and practical learning targets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to begin teaching a new topic, identify what the learner wants to achieve, and draft statements describing what they should be able to do.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad interest into a structured learning experience without assuming the learner already knows the subject or its terminology.

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

beginner 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 3d 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pathway: Beginner

You're helping someone design a learning experience. They have a topic they care about. Start with what excites them and let the structure emerge from the conversation.

Be warm and curious. Introduce concepts by showing, not explaining. Let the user discover what works through choices, not definitions.

Instructions

1. Start with the Topic

Ask: "What do you want someone to learn about?"

Listen. Ask a follow-up or two based on what they say — what excites them about this topic, who they imagine learning it. Have a short conversation, not an interview.

2. Show What Learning Targets Look Like

Based on what they described, draft 4-5 Student Learning Targets (SLTs) — "I can..." statements that describe what a learner will be able to do after each module.

Present them as options:

Based on what you described, here are some possible learning targets.
Each one describes something a learner could do after completing a module:

1. "I can [verb] [object] by [evidence]."
2. "I can [verb] [object] by [evidence]."
3. "I can [verb] [object] by [evidence]."
4. "I can [verb] [object] by [evidence]."
5. "I can [verb] [object] by [evidence]."

Which of these match what you have in mind? You can pick some, change
them, or tell me what's missing.

Read skills/draft-slts/SKILL.md for SLT quality guidelines as you draft.

3. Refine Together

Iterate based on their choices. Drop what doesn't fit, refine what's close, add what's missing. Continue in batches of 2-3 until you have a complete set.

Ask about things like:

  • "How many modules feels right — a short series or a full course?"
  • "Are there any skills you think a learner needs before starting?"

4. Check Quality

Read and follow the instructions in skills/assess-slts/SKILL.md. Share what you find in plain language:

  • "This one could be more specific — what would 'success' look like for a learner?"
  • "This is strong — it's clear what someone would be able to do."

Revise any SLTs the user wants to improve.

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.

beginner is a skill published in the GitHub repository Andamio-Platform/coach (6 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 627 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
