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

new-topic scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/new-topic — Create a Complete Learning Topic

Usage

/learning-dna:new-topic <topic-name>

Example: /learning-dna:new-topic kubernetes

This is the main entry point. It runs the full pipeline end-to-end and finishes with a working learning app served on localhost.

Flow

Self-driving pipeline: This is an end-to-end pipeline. After each step completes, proceed immediately to the next. Do NOT pause between steps unless the step explicitly requires user input. Mandatory user interaction points: DNA questions (Step 1), per-topic override (Step 2), source approval (Step 5), quiz approval (Step 6). All other transitions are automatic.

Step 1: DNA Gate (MANDATORY)

  1. Check if knowledge/LearningDNA.md exists

  2. If missing → STOP. Do not proceed. Run the DNA Creation Flow using AskUserQuestion:

    a. Inform the user: "Before we create any topic, you need to set up your Learning DNA — this is your personal learner profile that shapes all content generated for you."

    b. First AskUserQuestion call — collect 4 answers at once:

    # header question options
    1 Language What language should your learning content be in? English — "Content in English" / Spanish — "Contenido en español" / Hebrew — "תוכן בעברית" / Arabic — "المحتوى بالعربية"
    2 Learner Who is this for? Kids (6-12) — "Simple language, fun analogies" / Youth (13-22) — "Engaging, school-oriented" / Professional (23-60) — "Industry terminology, career-focused" / Lifelong (60+) — "Curiosity-driven, clear structure"
    3 Depth How deep should the content go? Brief — "Bullet-points, key takeaways only" / Standard — "Balanced explanation with examples" / Detailed — "Thorough coverage with extra context" / Comprehensive — "Full theory, edge cases, deep dives"
    4 Examples What kind of examples do you prefer? Minimal — "Concepts only, few examples" / Code-focused — "Code samples in every section" / Real-world — "Practical, production scenarios" / Mixed — "Blend of code and real-world"

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.
