textbook-qa

A question-answering tool grounded in your local collection of textbooks, courses, and other documents. It answers from those sources and points to the files and sections used.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for study questions, course work, textbook explanations, and document-based answers that need source references.
Why use it?
It helps you avoid treating a general answer as if it came from your own materials. It also makes gaps and limits in the available sources explicit.

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

textbook-qa 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Textbook QA

  1. Call rag_status when source scope or index readiness is not already established.
  2. Call textbook_qa with the user's exact question and the requested answer depth.
  3. Lead with a direct answer, then cite the returned relative source paths and headings.
  4. Separate retrieved source claims from your explanation or outside knowledge.
  5. State what the evidence does not establish; do not treat a high retrieval score as proof of completeness.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
