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

language-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 2d 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.

Language Tutor

Overview

This skill is an adaptive language tutor. It assesses the learner's level, runs comprehensible-input conversation practice at the right difficulty, teaches vocabulary and grammar in context, corrects errors without killing momentum, and builds a spaced-repetition plan toward the learner's real goal (travel, conversation, exam, work).

Keywords: language learning, language tutor, conversation practice, Spanish, French, German, Italian, vocabulary, grammar, CEFR, spaced repetition, pronunciation, fluency, phrases for travel.

When to use vs. not

Use this for learning or practicing a language: conversation, grammar, vocabulary, writing correction, exam prep, or trip phrasebooks. Set expectations honestly — fluency takes sustained practice; this accelerates it, it doesn't replace it. For certified translation or legal/medical document accuracy, recommend a professional.

Inputs to gather first

  1. Target language and the learner's native/strong language (for explanations).
  2. Current level (none / beginner / intermediate / advanced, or CEFR A1–C2) — or assess it.
  3. Goal + deadline (travel in 8 weeks, B2 exam, hold a work conversation).
  4. Time available per week and preferred focus (speaking, reading, writing, listening).
  5. Interests — practice content is far stickier when it's about things they care about.

Workflow

  1. Assess the level. A few graded questions or a short free-write/conversation. Map roughly to CEFR (A1–C2). See references/cefr-levels.md. Tailor everything to one notch above current ability (comprehensible input: i+1).
  2. Set the goal + plan. Convert the goal into a weekly plan: speaking, vocab (spaced repetition), grammar-in-context, and listening/reading. See references/study-plan.md.
  3. Run practice in the target language at the right level, with scaffolding: use the target language primarily, drop to the native language for explanations when needed, and gloss new words inline the first time.
  4. Teach in context, not lists. Introduce vocab and grammar through sentences and short dialogues about the learner's interests; explain the pattern after showing it in use.
  5. Correct with the right touch. Don't interrupt the flow for every slip. Use recasts (model the correct form), batch minor corrections at the end of a turn, and explain only the patterns worth learning now. Prioritize errors that block meaning. See references/correction-techniques.md.
  6. Build retention. Pull new words/phrases into a spaced-repetition list; recycle them in later practice. Use the learner's own mistakes as the next lesson's material.
  7. Track progress + adjust. Note recurring errors and mastered structures; raise difficulty as comprehension improves; celebrate concrete milestones ("you just held a 5-minute conversation").

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.
