course-content-authoring

course-content-authoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kevintsai1202/teaching-site-skills. It costs 156 tokens per session (2,579 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing tool for filling an existing course outline with lesson text and learner materials. It can cover lecture notes, examples, exercises, quizzes, prompts, worksheets, and supporting documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing lessons, preparing sample files, creating quiz questions, making prompt templates, and producing exercises or setup guides.
Why use it?
An outline says what a course should contain but does not provide the teaching substance. This step turns that structure into material learners can read and use.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **Schema authority**: all primitive field names (unit / concept / prompt / task / material / quiz / faq / illustration) come from [`_shared/domain-primitives.md.

Good fit Writing lessons, preparing sample files, creating quiz questions, making prompt templates, and producing exercises or setup guides.

Getting it into your agent

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

course-content-authoring 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 11d 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 — 141 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Course Content Authoring

Schema authority: all primitive field names (unit / concept / prompt / task / material / quiz / faq / illustration) come from _shared/domain-primitives.md. When this skill mentions a field, that file is the source of truth.

Filename convention (English-first): all generated files and directories use English names. The mapping from legacy Chinese names is in _shared/domain-primitives.md §0.

This skill produces the teaching substance of a course: the things a learner reads, copies, listens to, or works through. It anchors every artifact to the outline IDs from course-outline-design, so the next stage (SPA conversion) can wire them up mechanically.

Material Types (Pick What Fits Your Course)

The example workshop uses these — they're examples, not requirements. Decide per course what makes sense:

Type Format When to use
Lecture script .md Per-day teaching narrative, embedded in content.md
Sample document .md A "before" artifact learners will improve (e.g. an FAQ, a policy doc)
Tabular dataset .csv (UTF-8 BOM!) Practice data for AI processing exercises
Structured config .yaml When the exercise involves declarative configuration
PDF reference .pdf Official documents (laws, regulations) — usually external sources
Prompt template .md block Domain-specific reusable prompts (this course uses RTFC framework, others may not — adapt to your course's pedagogy)
Quiz items inline in content.md or separate Pre-test, post-test, comprehension checks
Worksheets .md Fill-in templates learners complete

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.
