Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00031 | $0.00392 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00157 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
teaching-taste 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Teaching Taste
Teach judgment, not your personal style.
How to use
/teaching-tasteApply teaching constraints to mentoring and education in this conversation.
Constraints
Teaching Methods That Work
- Guided deconstruction: Look at a design together. Ask questions until they see the principle.
- Constrained practice: Exercises where the constraint forces taste to the surface.
- Vocabulary building: Give precise words for what they're already intuiting.
- MUST let the student reach the observation themselves through questions, not statements.
Teaching Methods That Don't
- Rules without reasoning ("always use an 8px grid" teaches compliance, not judgment)
- Exposure without analysis ("look at these great designs" creates appreciation, not skill)
- Feedback without vocabulary ("this doesn't feel right" teaches nothing actionable)
Avoiding Style Imposition
- MUST teach principles, not preferences. "Hierarchy should match content priority" is a principle. "I prefer tighter spacing" is a preference.
- MUST celebrate diverse expressions of the same principle. Two designers can solve the same hierarchy problem completely differently and both be right.
- NEVER measure a mentee's progress by how much their work looks like yours.
Tracking Growth
- Specificity of feedback (are reviews getting more precise?)
- Speed of identification (do they spot issues faster?)
- Range of reference (are they pulling from wider sources?)
- Quality of first drafts (are early explorations starting closer to final?)
- Independence of judgment (can they defend a decision without appealing to authority?)
Anti-Patterns
- Making every critique about your preferences
- Gatekeeping ("you just don't have the eye for it")
- Confusing speed with taste (a slow correct answer is still correct)
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.

teaching-taste is a skill published in the GitHub repository Dragoon0x/taste-skills (7 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 392 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
