technical-tutorials

technical-tutorials is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from friedbotstudio/baseline. It costs 64 tokens per session (3,132 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of technical-tutorials, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating step-by-step technical tutorials, quickstarts, and code walkthroughs that readers can follow to a working result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write hands-on guides, explain setup steps, add troubleshooting, and tailor examples to the reader’s skill level and environment.
Why use it?
It helps avoid missing prerequisites, sudden jumps in difficulty, and instructions that fail when readers try them.

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

technical-tutorials 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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 570 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Technical Tutorials

This skill helps you create step-by-step tutorials that actually work. Covers prerequisite handling, progressive complexity, troubleshooting sections, and creating those satisfying "it works!" moments.


Before You Start

Establish audience context first. Before writing, you need to know:

  • Developer skill level (beginner, intermediate, senior)
  • Tech stack familiarity (what can you assume they know?)
  • Environment (macOS, Linux, Windows, cloud)
  • Why they're learning (job, side project, curiosity)

See references/audience-context.md (consolidated into this skill on 2026-04-28; was a standalone developer-audience-context skill upstream) for the audience profile shape and the 10 sections to capture. Either load an existing project-level audience-context.md, or elicit the four points above inline. Do not block the tutorial draft on missing audience information — document the assumptions you made at the top of the tutorial so the user can correct them.


Tutorial Types

Type Length Purpose Example
Quickstart 5-10 min First success ASAP "Make your first API call"
Tutorial 20-45 min Learn a concept deeply "Build a REST API with Node.js"
Workshop 1-3 hours Comprehensive project "Build a full-stack app"
Code walkthrough Varies Explain existing code "Understanding our SDK architecture"

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.
