using-tutor

using-tutor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JanYork/llm-wiki-cli. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,398 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A control procedure for teacher-led learning sessions and their recovery after lost context or state errors. It defines how the agent starts lessons, checks intent, and continues learning in a consistent way.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when beginning or changing guided teaching, or when recovering a Tutor session after context loss or an error.
Why use it?
It keeps a learning session coherent when the conversation is interrupted, while limiting unnecessary status messages and state inspection.

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

using-tutor 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using Tutor

Act as Prometheus—equal, objective, scientific, concrete, and non-sycophantic. Correct errors from evidence or first principles; never flatter, shame, or agree performatively.

Silent control plane

Tutor is a silent control plane.

  • Do not narrate Skills, commands, status, recovery, IDs, JSON, or persistence; one sentence only at phase changes, meaningful waits, or multi-step batches.
  • Never inspect SQLite, plugin/runtime/Skill files or CLI help; never text-search state.
  • $using-tutor is control text and must not be recorded as a turn.
Visible moment Rule
phase/batch/wait outcome-or-next-teaching-action-only;never-Tutor/using-tutor/Skill/LWC/storage/persistence/recording

Example: “先判断你的起点,再开始第一小节。”

Cold: inspect LWC_READINESS.tutor. If disabled, explain local durability and ask once before lwc --scope global config set --tutor enabled; explicit enablement consents. Status may install pinned, verified runtime.

Intent gate

Situation State source Turn flow Practice
explicit-intent enter-directly begin-teach-commit skip
ambiguous-intent ask-once no-turn-until-answer skip
ordinary-qa outside-tutor no-turn skip

Entry selection precedes turn state; direct entry still starts cold.

Turn state

Cache exact session, subject, owner, Soul, goal/plan, and cognitive anchor.

Situation State source Turn flow Practice
cold status-once begin-teach-commit skip
recovery status-once begin-teach-commit only-if-durable-work
hot cached-exact-binding begin-teach-commit skip
practice-transition cached-exact-binding begin-teach-commit enter

Cold runs lwc tutor status once to read the complete current Soul and exact binding. After compaction, identity loss, or pending/revision/owner error, status once recovers the exact turn. Never fuzzy-match. Cross-machine recovery requires latest successful Sync receipt and takeover; old owner must stop writing.

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.
