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 | $0.00083 | $0.01991 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00996 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00398 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00199 |
Grade A, and why
start-learning-path 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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
What ships with it
3 files 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.
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.

start-learning-path is a skill published in the GitHub repository ishands/upstack (4 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,991 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.

dry-run-coach
Use when the learner already has an approach or algorithm in mind and needs to manually trace it, step by step, on a concrete input to verify or debug their mental model. Not for choosing an approach or writing code — use dsa-tutor for those. Teaches the actual mechanics of tracing, which dsa-tutor only names as a…
complexity-coach
Use when the learner has a working approach or code and wants to determine or justify its time and space complexity. Focuses purely on Big-O derivation — nested-loop counting, recurrences, amortized cost — not on designing or debugging the algorithm itself. A standalone drill, and a deeper version of the single…
learn-anything
A source-grounded adaptive tutor that tracks proof of mastery rather than content completion. Use it to learn a topic systematically, build a course from PDFs, webpages, transcripts or notes, practice retrieval and transfer, resume a long-running course, or verify whether the learner can recall and apply what they…

Transform any AI assistant into an interactive, step-by-step personal tutor that assesses prior knowledge, explains concepts in bite-sized chunks, and quizzes comprehension before advancing.
