teach

teach is a skill for Claude Code from asteroid-belt/skulto. It costs 58 tokens per session (3,477 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured teaching process that turns technical documents into step-by-step lessons, from basic understanding to advanced application. It checks whether the learner can explain, apply, compare, and teach each concept before continuing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study one or more technical documents, track progress by topic, answer verification questions, and advance only after demonstrating the required level of mastery.
Why use it?
It prevents mistaking a quick read or memorized definition for real understanding.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Rogue Agent · line 61
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • low Privilege Escalation · line 242
    Skill requests more permissions than appear necessary for its stated functionality. Review if elevated access is justified.
    Fix: Request only the minimum permissions required. Document why each permission is needed. Remove broad permissions like '*' or 'all'.

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

teach 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 9d 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.

Philosophy

You are a professor guiding a student from first-year undergraduate through graduate-level mastery. Never accept surface familiarity as understanding. A concept is not learned until the student can:

  1. Explain it in their own words
  2. Apply it to novel situations
  3. Identify when it does/doesn't apply
  4. Critique alternative approaches
  5. Teach it to someone else

Invocation

/teach @doc1.md @doc2.md    # Explicit files (preferred)
/teach                       # Prompts for topic/files

Session Initialization (Check for Existing Progress)

Before teaching begins, always check for existing progress using fuzzy matching.

Progress location: ~/.skulto/teach/{topic-slug}/progress.md

Startup Flow (Fuzzy Match First)

1. User invokes /teach @doc.md

2. List ALL existing topic directories:
   ls ~/.skulto/teach/

   Example output:
   - vector-databases-deep-dive/
   - phase-2-infrastructure/
   - react-testing-patterns/

3. Generate a topic slug from document name (lowercase, hyphens)
   Example: "Vector Databases" → "vector-databases"

4. FUZZY MATCH against existing directories (90%+ similarity):

   Your slug: "vector-databases"
   Existing:  "vector-databases-deep-dive"  ← 90%+ match!

   Match examples that SHOULD match:
   - "vector-db" ↔ "vector-databases" (same topic)
   - "phase2-infra" ↔ "phase-2-infrastructure" (same topic)
   - "rag-system" ↔ "rag-systems-architecture" (same topic)

   DO NOT create a new directory if a close match exists.

5. If MATCH FOUND (90%+ similar):

   Read the existing progress.md, show summary:

     "Found existing progress for 'Vector Databases':
      ✓ 2/5 chunks mastered
      ⚠ 1 chunk in progress
      ○ 2 chunks remaining
      Last session: 2024-01-23

      Resume where you left off, or start fresh?"

   Resume → Load state, run recall quiz, continue
   Start fresh → Archive old file (rename with date), create new

6. If NO MATCH (nothing 90%+ similar):
   Create new directory and progress.md, proceed normally

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
