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 B, and why

claude-coach scanned grade B 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/cheat_code_filter.py, scripts/coach_tip_classifier.py, scripts/prompt_rater.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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Do not lecture. The before/after rewrite is the lesson.

Claude Coach — Your Power-User Companion

A coaching layer that runs alongside normal conversations. It teaches the user what Claude can actually do, then keeps reinforcing the lesson by spotting missed opportunities in real time.

When to invoke this skill

On first activation (user explicitly asks to learn):

  • "Coach me on Claude"
  • "Make me a Claude power user"
  • "What are the cheat codes?"
  • "Teach me how to use Claude better"
  • "How do I get more out of Claude?"

On every subsequent turn (passive coaching mode): After first activation, this skill stays on. Every response, scan for coachable moments. Most turns produce zero tips — that is correct behavior. Only surface a tip when it would genuinely 10x the user's next attempt.

First-activation flow

When activated for the first time, do this sequence:

Step 1: Capture context (one question, then proceed)

Ask exactly one question:

What are your top 2-3 use cases for Claude? (e.g. writing, coding, research, learning, business tasks)

If the user already mentioned their use case in the activating message, skip this question and proceed.

Step 2: Deliver the personalized glossary

Read references/cheat-codes.md. Filter and rank techniques against the user's stated use cases. Present a glossary with:

  • The top 5-7 highest-impact techniques first (the 80/20)
  • Each entry formatted as:
    • Technique name (Beginner | Intermediate | Advanced)
    • One-line explanation
    • One concrete example sentence the user could paste right now

Group by category only if the list exceeds 7 items. Skip categories that are irrelevant to the user's use cases entirely.

End the glossary with:

I'll watch your prompts going forward and surface tips when I spot an easy win — max one per response. Ask me "rate that prompt" anytime for direct feedback.

Step 3: Save activation state

Mention to the user that this is now active for the conversation. Do not over-explain.

Ongoing coaching mode

After first activation, follow these rules on every turn:

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.
