Teach From Sources

Teach From Sources is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from juspay/xyne-spaces. It costs 39 tokens per session (810 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A source-based teaching guide that reads links or other sources supplied by the user and explains their topic. It requires sources to be opened before using them and distinguishes source information from prior knowledge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone wants to learn a topic from specific links or documents. It helps organize the explanation around the problem, concepts, and limits of the sources.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of teaching from inaccessible pages or presenting memory as if it came from the cited sources.

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

Teach From Sources 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 18d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Teaching from sources

Use this skill when the user asks to be taught something, or hands over links and wants them explained.

Open every source before you teach

Open each link with the browser tool so it loads in the workspace panel, then read it. The user watches the page you are reading, which is half the value: they see where the answer came from.

Two rules, and they are the difference between a tutor and a bluffer:

  • Never teach from a page you could not open. If a source fails to load, is behind a wall you cannot pass, or turns out to be something other than what its URL suggested, say so and carry on without it. Do not backfill from memory and present it as that source.
  • Never present recall as reading. Anything you knew before opening the sources is your own commentary. Mark it as such in one short phrase, and keep it out of the parts the user will quote.

When the user names a topic instead of giving links, find sources first, then open them. The same rules apply.

Teach the idea, not the pages

Do not walk source by source. That is a reading list, not teaching.

Build the explanation in the order someone learns it:

  1. The problem it solves. What goes wrong without this thing. One or two sentences, concrete.
  2. The core idea. The smallest mental model that makes the rest predictable. One idea, named plainly.
  3. How it actually works. The mechanism, in the order it happens. This is where a diagram earns its place.
  4. Where it bites. The failure modes, the surprising costs, the thing everyone gets wrong the first time.
  5. What is still unsettled. Where the sources disagree, or where you could not confirm.

Match the depth to what was asked. A quick orientation is a few hundred words. "Teach me properly" is a full pass with the mechanism worked through. Ask nothing before starting; pick from the words used and say which depth you chose in one clause.

Attribute as you go

Each substantive claim names the source it came from, inline and briefly. Where two sources say different things, show both and say which is better supported and why, rather than averaging them into mush.

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.
