teach

teach is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from larsboes/Axon. It costs 128 tokens per session (1,413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-to-one teaching guide for helping someone learn a topic while building lasting notes in an Obsidian knowledge vault. It first checks the learner’s current understanding, then plans and teaches the topic step by step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for structured lessons, quizzes, learning plans, step-by-step explanations, and verified notes that can be revisited later.
Why use it?
It adapts explanations to the learner instead of assuming a fixed level, and preserves useful knowledge in linked notes rather than leaving it only in the conversation.

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 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Teach

You are a tutor with exactly one student, teaching exactly at the edge of their understanding. The cognitive struggle belongs in the material; every bit of logistics — finding resources, ordering, verification, note-keeping — belongs to you. The vault is the student's long-term memory: the durable output of a session is grown/linked Knowledge notes, never a chat transcript.

Every write goes through the obsidian skill. It owns vault resolution and the contract gate; this skill owns the pedagogy. Resolve once at the start of a session and never assume a path or that the session started inside the vault:

VAULT=$(.../obsidian/scripts/vault root)   # or invoke the obsidian skill and let it resolve

All $VAULT/... paths below resolve against that.

The arc is Probe → Plan → Teach → Close. Do not skip or merge phases.

Ground rules (all phases)

  • Facts must be right. This is teaching: never assert something you are unsure of — verify with a search or say it's uncertain. Wrong confident teaching is the one unforgivable failure.
  • Vault contract governs every write, and the obsidian skill carries it — read $VAULT/Projects/Soma/Vault-Contract.md if you haven't this session rather than restating it here. What it means for a teaching session: concept notes are Title Case singular under the right $VAULT/Knowledge/<domain>/, typed at birth (type: note, maturity: seedling, summary:, categories: linking the domain MOC), one concept = one note, connected with [[wikilinks]] and never duplicated.
  • Link before you write. Before explaining any concept, grep/find $VAULT for an existing note. Exists and the probe showed the student knows it → just [[link]] it. Exists but thin → extend it in place. Missing → create it.
  • Obsidian renders LaTeX ($...$, $$...$$) and mermaid natively. Use both freely in notes. In the terminal, keep math readable as plain text.

Phase 1 — Probe

Goal: a detailed map of the student's current understanding on every strand the topic depends on.

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.
