Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kevintsai1202/teaching-site-skillsnpx agentmods add skills/kevintsai1202/teaching-site-skills/course-outline-designWrote this? Show the measurements
A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 5.1 | $0.00144 | $0.02424 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00072 | $0.01212 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00485 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00242 |
Grade A, and why
course-outline-design 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Course Outline Design
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 structural skeleton of a course: how many days, what each day's theme is, what each unit teaches, what the shared running scenario is, and what the meta (hours, classroom, schedule) looks like. It does not write lecture content — that's course-content-authoring's job.
When to Invoke
- User says "I want to run a workshop on X" but no structure exists yet.
- User has scattered notes and wants to organise them into a course.
- User wants to revise an existing outline (add/remove a unit, change day allocation).
Deliverables
A standard outline produces these files. Adapt paths to the user's project, but keep the role of each file distinct — that separation is what enables downstream sub-skills to work.
course-package/ (or your preferred root)
├── overview.md ← top-level meta + day list + shared scenario summary
├── shared-scenario.md ← the persistent scenario / fictitious company / characters used across days
├── supporting-docs.md ← optional: FAQ, pre-reading, environment setup
└── day{n}/
└── outline.md ← per-day outline: theme, units, learning goals, hours
The filenames here are Chinese because that's the project convention this skill emerged from. Use whatever language fits the project, but keep the file roles separate. Merging
overview.mdinto each Day's outline is a common mistake — it makes meta updates require N edits.
The Five Decisions You Must Pin Down
Before drafting any file, get these answered (ask the user, one at a time if needed):
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.

course-outline-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository kevintsai1202/teaching-site-skills (49 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 144 tokens to every session and 2,424 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
hr-onboarding
A new-hire onboarding plan as a single page — first week schedule, buddy + manager intro, learning track, equipment checklist, and "you're set when…" outcomes. Use when the brief mentions "onboarding", "new hire", "first week plan", or "入职".
book-mirror
Take any book (EPUB/PDF), produce a personalized chapter-by-chapter analysis. Each chapter is preserved in detail (The Chapter) and mirrored back to the reader's actual life (The Mirror) using brain context. The mirror observes and resonates — a friend pointing out parallels, NOT a consultant rearranging the reader's…
miniapp
Build a tiny interactive HTML playground only when someone asks to see, play with, or step through a mechanism.
eli5
Explain research, papers, or technical ideas in plain English with minimal jargon, concrete analogies, and clear takeaways. Use when the user says "ELI5 this", asks for a simple explanation of a paper or research result, wants jargon removed, or asks what something technically dense actually means.
deck-course-module
A course or workshop slide template with persistent learning goals, teaching pages, multiple-choice self-tests, and a wrap-up.
master-yinguang
A reference-based assistant for questions about Yinguang and Pure Land Buddhism, a Buddhist tradition focused on faith, ethical living, and practice connected with rebirth in the Pure Land. It can answer in Yinguang’s historical teaching style.
